Eternal Heater of Candles and Flower Pots

Imagine a heat source that warms, but does not waste your money and never breaks. Sounds like science fiction, but Californian inventor Doyle Doss brought dreams to life and invented a heater that gives energy from a candle. Repeat the opening of an American can anyone.

Deceptive appearance

At first glance, the device may seem like a strange candlestick made of an inverted clay pot, but do not rush to judge it by its appearance: the whole essence is hidden inside.

The heating mechanism is made according to the principle of matryoshka: pots made of ceramic of different sizes are placed into each other and fastened with a metal rod.

A large number of nuts with washers are strung on an iron base. Peculiar hats help to collect and give off heat from the candle.Usually, energy from a small flame goes up and has almost no effect on the ambient temperature. A cap over the fire is needed to transfer energy into the air, using the entire area of ​​the ceramic pot.

During operation, the metal base is very hot. To avoid burns, do not touch the element!

Burned clay not only perfectly collects heat, but also keeps soot, not allowing it to reach the ceiling. The simple design is approximately 23 cm in height and 18 cm in diameter. Opening hours of one candle - about 20 hours.

Application area

Candle heater Suitable for emergencies. For example, when electricity is disconnected or when at least one room is to be heated in a cold building. If you install such elements of heating in each room, it will raise the overall temperature in the house by a few degrees. A nice bonus for saving boiler power.

But with all the advantages, this device is not able to replace a full-fledged heating system.

Some Internet users have already tried out a candle heater as a stove, and according to their experience, the device successfully coped with the mission.For cooking scrambled eggs and warming up the soup, the power of the device is enough.

When using the device for the first time, wait until the remaining moisture evaporates from the clay. It takes about 4 hours.

Attention! Do not leave the heater unattended. We are talking about at least a small, but still open fire.

When not in use, it is better to wrap it. plastic filmotherwise the clay will collect moisture.

Even if you are sure that your heating is reliable and you don’t need additional funds, you should pay attention to the candle heater at least because:

• Available and cheap materials are used for its production.
• The device can work on the street.
• Non-standard device can be presented as part of a trendy interior.
• The design is simple, which allows you to make a heater at home

Step-by-step instruction

Materials. To repeat the work of the Californian inventor, you will need:

1. 3 clay pots of different diameter, according to the principle of reduction. For example: 5, 10 and 15 cm.
2. Metal base with a thread of about 11 cm.
3. Nuts, about 8 pieces, and washers, enough for 20 pieces.

Manufacturing. After acquiring the necessary materials, you can proceed to the main works;

1. Using a drill, make holes in the pots, focusing on the size of the rod.
2. Insert the base into the largest pot and secure with a nut on the outside.
3. Put some washers on the metal inside the pot.
4. Place a second-sized pot and secure it with washers and nuts.
5. Do the same with the third pot.
6. The top knob is set above the candle. The fire should be exactly under the rod.

Base. If you are not satisfied with the option of placing a heater on a pair of bricks, then you can make a more aesthetic basis. This will help you:

1. Three flat corners of metal, such are used to strengthen the window frames. One of the edges of the corner should be identical to the radius of the candlestick, and the other - the height of the candle.
2. A cord or cord of excellent strength.
3. Welding.
4. Drill.

Need to work according to this scheme;

1. Weld the corners of metal at 120 ° relative to each other. Small edges should be turned inward, and larger ones should aim upwards.
2. Make small holes at the top of the long ends.
3. Insert the wire into these slots so that a triangle is formed.A heating element is placed on this platform.

That's all, it remains only to choose the right candle and enjoy the warmth and comfort.

In the USA, candle heaters have already gained fame for economical and practical heat sources. Devices even compared with the mythical perpetual motion, for their economical operation. Maybe the invention will take root in Russia. Then in the near future in every home there will be a candle source of heat.
