Zusammenfassung: | A laminar liquid motion display includes a pair of outer films and a flow separator film. The flow separator film is perforated with a number of flow holes and is sandwiched between the outer films. The films may be sealed along their periphery thereby forming a generally laminar chamber which may contain two interconnected compartments. A fluid is disposed within the chamber and may circulate between the two compartments via the flow holes in the flow separator film. The fluid may include any number of generally immiscible components which may be colored in order to make the motion of the fluid easily visible. A lamp or candle may be disposed in the proximity of the chamber in order to illuminate the fluid and power its motion by convection. The chamber may be curved concentrically around the lamp or candle and may provide the functionality of a lampshade. |
