Tornado Table Lamp

This lamp contains water and a large number of little plastic beads floating on the surface. Switch it on, and not only does the bulb light up, a fan starts to turn, spinning the water into a miniature tornado. As it gains in strength, it starts to pull the little beads down in the centre of the lamp, looking just like a small tornado. As the beads reach the bottom they disperse, and then travel back up to the surface at the edge of the vessel, ready to swirl down again in the tornado.

It provides a gentle light, and a mesmerising motion. Tim thinks it would look good placed on top of a television.
