i envisage a clock with a large face that is comprised of the liquid mood crystaline substance, but rather than have it change colors according to your mood, have motorized balls behind the face that roll about by their own accord.The balls are warmed to various temperatures to create different coloured swirls, like amber, red, blue, green purple,etc. A variation to that concept is have them mildly magnitized too, so they repel and attract eachother. From the front of the display this just looks like magically swirling colors constantly changing, very hypnotic, one could sit and watch it for hours.-- Urban Kayaker, Jul 11 2004 LCD Clock http://www.halfbake...om/idea/LCD_20clocksemi relavent, semi conscious [Urban Kayaker, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004] "one could sit and watch it for hours" - um, only if you're under the influence of certain other crystalline substances, I suspect. Why not use one of those blobby liquid filters from the days of disco?-- DrCurry, Jul 11 2004 days of disco? ^_^ i'm too young to remember the days of disco-- Urban Kayaker, Jul 11 2004 Be thankful, man.-- RayfordSteele, Jul 11 2004 [DC] i suppose a lava lamp clock would be cool, shameless self plug... see link-- Urban Kayaker, Jul 11 2004 =| i like the idea of pretty swirling colors... >_> and i'm not on drugs [+]-- Robyn Silverwolfe, Jul 12 2004 And it's a clock because... once you've sat in front of it for hours, you can say "it is now hours from when i started"?-- schematics, Jul 12 2004 no it has a standard quartz movement face, probably a nice matte chrome colour.... it would be a decent size too availiable in both square and circular.-- Urban Kayaker, Jul 12 2004 random, halfbakery
