Roll up for the Nebula 12, a wifi lamp that brings the weather indoors

Great news, meteorology fans! Swiss designers Micasa Lab have created a
swirling liquid-nitrogen weather device to enjoy in the comfort of your
own home

The comments have started well there... :-)


It is remarkably ugly when not hidden by the cloud and, at 0.5m long
(1.2m including the cloud), not for places with low ceilings. According
to the specification, it has a duration of 72 hours. They don't say what
happens then. Do you need a new supply of liquid nitrogen or do you just
top up the water bowl?
