Jupiter is much larger than Earth and has 318 times the mass of Earth so an object experiences more G (gravity) force. A centrifuge can simulate the effect of gravity because it is a circular motion this means although the speed might be constant it is constantly accelerating and there is a centrifugal force acting outwards. Faster you are going the faster this acceleration so the larger the centrifugal force. Spin fast enough and you can simulate higher gravities.

As for whether a lava lamp would work...no. Even if it wasn't stopped by gravity (or electrical shortages) the glass would be etched by the harsh chemicals in the atmosphere, and any plastic would dissolve. It's a silly place to recreate the 70s.
