Hi. To get candles to last longer, sprinkle salt on them. There are DIY "forever" candle ideas on youtube, using a jar, wick, salt (or water) and cooking oil. Also, you.can light a dry spaghetti noodle and use it as a long matchstick. I too have watched you for years. Thank you for sharing your ideas and helping us to think creatively. We are all in this together.

I like the direction of this heater build. My thought would be to set the clay pot on blocks and insert a thin one inch pipe over the drain hole extending upward a few inches out of the sand as a circulator. I cool my garage with one of your evaporative window fan cooler designs and like it. Keep'em coming Friend.

It would be cool if you got into data logging and so could give us a nice graph of the temperature in the centre of the sand sampled regularly over the hours after lighting the candles. You could also graph the room temperature in a room that you keep the door closed on for the duration of the experiment and then go on to work out how many of these would be needed to heat a room of a given volume in your particular conditions and how long that number is able to keep that room comfortable just off the initial burn and sand-stored heat.

wow. thanks, I'm glad you've been a long time viewer. I've been wanting to find a way to add lots of thermal mass to the 'flowerpot style' heater for a while and this is the best way I've thought of. the copper grabs like 90% of the heat of the flame and just sends it straight down into the sand to be stored and slowly radiated over time. no wasted heat being sent to the ceiling (where you can't feel it).

This one's a keeper! We no longer have a working fireplace and a power outage during the winter can be brutal. I've been watching videos like this for over a year and agree with you about trying to improve on these clay pot heaters. Going to try resting a scrap piece of copper across the tops of copper in the bigger pot and see if I can get my wood stove fan to pick up and disperse some of the heat. Either that or add a block of heated soapstone to the pot of sand. Anything for the cause!

Hello. Thanks for the video and sharing your ideas. If you have time, maybe you can test it with fireclay mortar or, for example, black quartz gravel (the gravel can be placed outside in the sun, for example, in the summer) it will heat up and maybe release the heat at night... I don't know ;).. but if, for example, : you have these three curved copper plates, maybe you can put a square copper plate on them and a fan on it. Maybe it will get warm enough for it to work. Take care. Greetings from Poland ;)

@desertsun02
@desertsun02 11 ай бұрын
hi there and thanks for subbing! i'm not exactly sure how large of a space it can heat. i guess it will depend on how much you need to raise the temp for a given area. standard size tealights will burn 4 to 5 hours plus the unit will release heat for 3 or more hours after they go out so you could get 8 or more hours from one set of tea lights. they also sell long burn lea lights. those burn 6 or 7 hours so you could get 10 or 12 hours of total heating if you use those type. the outside of the pot gets very warm and continues to warm the longer you run it. very warm in 45 mins to an hour and hotter as time goes by. (up to a little under 300F/150C within 2 or 3 hours). if you add a second candle under each copper strip you can get it to near 400F (the copper) and the sand temp stays a little under that (350F/177C).

hi and thank you. i'm not sure if the type of sand makes much of a difference but i would guess the finer the sand the more heat it holds (because the grains fit more closely together). i used a fine off-white 'play sand'. it's cleaned and filtered (usually used in sandboxes etc.)

What’s the difference in heat if copper is not used?
@desertsun02
@desertsun02 7 күн бұрын
hi. if you don't use copper then all of the heat from the candles will just rise straight up the ceiling (where you wouldn't feel it). the thermal mass would not heat up much at all. if you can't get copper you might be able to use steel.

I am wondering how do pot heaters make candles more efficient? The heat gets released either way, just slower in this case. Or am I mistaken?

hi. without the copper and sand, most of the heat from the candles (90% of it) will just go straight up to the ceiling where you won't feel it. using the cooper allows you to 'grab' that heat and store it in the sand (where it will radiate the heat slowly into the living space (the bottom half of the room) over time).

Try using graphite below the sand. Graphite transfers heat much better than even copper. Use this to charge up the sand more effectively.

What if you tried to collect the heat going up more. Cast iron or stainless steel tea kettel on the copper plates. (With stand I understand copper will not hold kettel) Use tea hettel spout to have 2 tunes go through small radiator. Then small fan to push air in a direction.

hi. the easiest way is to use a piece of duct tape to cover the hole.

Where can you get copper like that? I have been to 2 local hard ware stores and they don’t have it

hi there i get it on amazon. it's sold as bulk copper. it's about 17 dollars pound. amazon also sells it in different sizes. if you search for copper sheet you'll find lots of it. the best deal i've seen so far was 2 8x10 pieces for 16 dollars

PLEASE tell us the thickness , width, and length of the copper strips. I really want to make one.....BAD

hi. the copper i used is 24 gauge. but you could use a slightly thicker metal if you wanted to. since tealights are 1.5" wide, the best width for the copper is 1.5" to maybe 2.25 inches. it doesn't have to be exact. as far as the length, you can adjust the length so that it fits the flower pot you have.

It's nice and safe as a room candle but it pollutes the air. What would be interesting in this experiment is the temperature of the pot and the sand and not that of the copper plates on the surface which is necessarily hot but short-lived if the candle goes out. what temperature by conduction by the copper plate planted in the sand. There is a lot of direct loss of energy in an aerial mode and very little accumulation. knowing that the jar, even lukewarm, will probably remain warm about 1 to 2 hours after the candle.

hi. i've heard that beeswax candles burn very clean (compared to regular candles) so that would be an option

hi. i'll have to test that to see (but it heats for several hours even after candles go out). i'd guess at least 3 hours
