Blood Lamp
Mike Thomspon created this lamp that uses blood to create light. The lamp contains luminol, a chemical that reacts with the iron in blood and creates a bright blue glow. To use the lamp you must first break the glass, then you must cut yourself on the glass, and finally you let your blood drip into the activating solution and it lights up.
His reason for creating this blood lamp was to get people to rethink how they use energy.
“It kind of triggered this thought in my mind, that if energy somehow came at a cost to us, then maybe it would make us think differently about the way we use it.”
