- How do soda siphons work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A soda siphon works by increasing the pressure level within the bottle through a pump. When gas bubbling is heard within the bottle, you can shake it and leave it to rest, before releasing the trigger to release the seltzer.
- How does the Tizio lamp work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The Tizio lamp works due to the conductivity of metal arms.

- How does a typewriter desk work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023A typewriter desk works due to its unique design.

- How does a table lamp work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2024How a table lamp works begins with its cord, which gets plugged into an electrical outlet that provides a source of energy. Halogen and incandescent bulbs contain filaments. The filament in a bulb is a conductor of electricity. It’s attached to contacts made of metal that are connected to a power supply. This allows for electricity to flow through it. When the electrical current cycles through the filament, this component gets quite hot and emits light. Find a large collection of vintage table lamps on 1stDibs.
- How does Anglepoise lamp work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021An Anglepoise lamp works on springs that are integrated in the joints, helping it to balance and hold its shape. These balanced-arm lamps are known to be energy-saving and among the first to use 25-watt bulbs.
- How does a Congreve clock work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The Congreve clock is a stroke of genius. A brass ball zig-zags down a platform in a time span of 15 seconds. Once the ball reaches the end, it hits a lever and a spring pushes the platform up, which tilts the brass ball back down the zig-zag path. The hands of the clock also advance by 15 seconds. You can shop a selection of Congreve clocks on 1stDibs.
