Testing a Bizarre Modern Version of a 17th Century Candle!

I appreciate how efficient it is with the wax. There is no leftovers or mess

[@dh2032]

yes, but how much it candle? if you only wanted 40 minutes of candle burning, just do is in the video a chop the top off a conventual candle leaving only 2 inches left to burn? (I was burn a long after candle burn was a everyday thing? but time with a candle must of been a thing somewhere?

[@XiaoYueMao]

@@dh2032 these candles existed before we had electricity, typically you had 2 of these per room, and while one is cooling, you light another, that way you dont go without candlelight for several hours a day, and these left no mess to clean and were easy to setup again once they cooled that they were very good to have, but yes, having just ONE wasnt super useful, then again back then people didnt really stay up late at night, so 40 minutes to do last minute cleaning before bed was honestly perfectly fine

I have a Simon Willard grandfather clock which has an automatic candle system like this to keep the candle lit behind the clock face at night. But it automatically unreels the candle until the final section for the length of night you set.

[@thumbsarehandy.]

That sounds incredibly neat and interesting!

[@iviewthetube]

That's what I was expecting when I saw the thumb for the video.

[@siberx4]

Neat contraption. I don't see why you couldn't advance it early with it still lit, as long as you do it well before the flame reaches the clip it should be cool to the touch. They probably say that for liability reasons, but nudging it up every 20 minutes would probably work fine. I can also imagine a version of this with the coil under light spring tension and the clip having some kind of heat-triggered mechanical advance where it nudges the candle forward once the flame burns low enough to trip a bimetallic strip or something. Could burn for as long as you needed that way!

[@PixelationCorrugation]

I'd expect the liquified wax to spill tbh. Especially since they have the note of needing to wait 20 minutes before lighting it again. That'd be plenty of time to let the wax resolidify at least a bit.

[@somepunk2541]

That's called a courting candle. I remember seeing one the Metropolitan museum in nyc. If you do a search, you should be able to find other versions of it that matches what you described. I remember an elderly gent that told me while laughing, "That's so the father at that time could set a time limit on dates, when they didn't come back home, he'd grab his shotgun and figure out if a wedding is in their immediate future."

[@margeebechyne8642]

The people who complained it didn't burn as long as it claimed might have had it set up with a slight breeze which made it burn faster. It is very cool looking! Thank you!!

[@ThatRPGuywithtoomanyOCs]

Thing is, how many people are actually measuring it? Most people, and I know from experience, cannot judge distances accurately by eye unless they are into a hobby or profession that they work with precise measurements relevant to the estimation. I run an airsoft field, and 90% of people can't tell 50 feet vs 100 feet for safety. These are people that play all the time too. The chance of a random person having outside influences either by mis-measuring, nor measuring at all, or having a bunch of fans or whatever is pretty high compared to a ventilation free film room.

Found one of these at a thrift store for something like $6.79 a couple yrs ago. People behind me in line were trying to buy it off of me, but I declined, because I liked the design. Researched it after getting home, & these were selling from $30-70, & they're based on courting candles of the 1700s-1800s. When the candle burned out, the suitor had to go home. Mine's mostly just a decorator piece right now, but will be used if power goes out. Replacing these is a tad pricey, as they are a bit of a specialty candle. Saw this on your 2023 annual review, first. Got my Range Mate Pro based on that yr's review for my locker @ work, so I can have crispy microwave food.

[@uppercanada]

Try trimming the wick to 1/4" before lighting and you should get a longer burn time. My wife and I make candles and that's just a common burn tip that we share with our customers.

[@ItsJustLisa]

RachLovesLife bought the upright model and she liked hers too. I know that back in the 17th and 18th centuries, it wasn’t uncommon to sleep for a few hours, get up in the middle of the night to do some work and then go back to bed. This kind of candle would allow someone to do some of that midnight work without worrying about falling asleep and forgetting the candle. Or it would allow them to set a “timer”, so to speak, and go back to bed when it starts fading. I know the part about working in the middle of the night because I saw a History Channel piece about how sleep habits have changed over the centuries. I’m just supposing that this could have been one of the uses for this kind of candle.

[@mgratk]

Yeah, it only really changed a lot because of the electric light, allowing people to stay up later when it got dark.

[@Shako_Lamb]

This reminds me of the Ephrata Cloister religious community in Pennsylvania that would sleep from 9pm to midnight, get up and wait for the coming of Christ, and, the coming having not happened, would sleep again from 2 to 5.

[@sleethmitchell]

an old yacht i lived on had a brass gimbelled candle lamp. a glass chimney with a weighted bob to keep it upright regardless of the boat's heel. the really clever aspect of the lamp was an internal spring which kept the wick snug against the aperture until the candle was completely consumed. it would give a warm light for four or five hours...

[@SeanPat1001]

Spring-loaded candle lamps use to be pretty common. When I was a kid just about everyone had at least one for when we lost power due to a storm.

More likely that people didn't measure it at all, mis-measured it, or had some sort of airflow. Elevation can effect things like this to a degree, but in a lot of cases user error is at fault.

[@exodous02]

Can you buy refills? I bet someone makes candles like this somewhere so they could be gotten. I want to see the mold the candle was made in. When I was around 9 or 10 my mom bought antique candle molds, they were like a few hundred years old, and we made candles with them. It was pretty fun. She made candles before this, like she had all these groovy candle molds from the 70s and early 80s, but the antique molds she bought were wood for mass-producing candles. Each mold made like 20 candles so we had a lot of medium candles after that.

[@wantsanewvehicle]

yup, you can buy refills at the link.

[@teslacoiler]

The mold could be a long, straight tube (the candle is coiled after de-molding otherwise is impossible to keep the wick in the center!) or maybe there is no mold at all and the candle is simply extruded using warm wax (soft, but not liquid) and a press.

[@robertgaines-tulsa]

It's neat. I will always have a soft spot for oil lamps even though I really only burn them in winter. I use premium oil because cheap stuff will give me headaches. Even the ultrapure, smokeless stuff Medallion makes gives me headaches. I don't have any problem with unscented candle's. I've never burned beeswax candles. I do like that this coiled candle lasts for a long time and isn't messy to refill.

[@Zebulization]

That looks amazingly like a wax jack. The coil is much thicker than is traditional. The pole that is holding the clamp should have a second arm that holds a melting bowl. sealing wax would be placed in the bowel and the coil candle would melt the sealing wax. You would normally only expose a small amount of coil for each melting. The wax jack is designed with fire safety in mind. The weight of the machine helps prevent it from being knocked over, and the shape of the clamp ensures that the coil-candle extinguishes itself. I suspect this is a modified wax jack design that is being sold as a novelty.

[@laurallewien2165]

That is one honey of a candle 🕯 lol! Great video as always James 👍

[@tymz-r-achangin]

Nicely done video. I was just hoping the candle had a automatic feed mechanism whereby it would feed like 1 inch of the candle every 20 minutes. We often get power outages in the winter and early Spring due to downed power lines and so me and my wife often sit at the table and play cards and board games by candle light, BUT she cheats and so I cant take my eyes away from the game while having to adjust the candle lol

[@beccac6451]

I agree, I think it would be cool if it rotated its self. It is a cool looking candle.

[@cobrag0318]

Got the vertical one. Biggest complaint is getting it in and out of the clip, which isn't really that big of a complaint honestly. Also The knob tightening the clamp to the center post on mine has basically 2 tightnesses, either too tight to be able to spin the clamp to line up to pull the next length of candle through, or so loose, that it feels like it'll come off. Though, admittedly, they may have intended you to loosen it, rotate, and retighten. But it seems like making it where it has enough resistance that it doesn't just move on it's own, but where you can gently turn it without having to have to loosen and retighten. That being said, these are minor observations. All in all, I love mine.

[@shannondore]

I love the vintage look. Very interesting.

[@megapix-x51]

I have one that's vertical. It provides a nice ambiance at a party. Back in the day, it was called a 'suiter's' candle, a suiter being a 'man who courts or woos a woman, especially for a romantic relationship or marriage'. When the man was at the woman's home for a short, supervised visit, the mother or father would light the candle allowing for a defined visiting time. When it went out, it was to 'say goodbye'!

[@ZedF86]

I dunno. I think you could probably do a continuous one. Same design, except for a spring turning mechanism for the spool, and some way to allow the candle guide/drip pan to move smoothly along with the candle end. It might even turn slowly enough that the tension from the candle itself could pull it along. Biggest problem would probably be the system to allow it to come up through the drip pan, because I can see it getting gummed up with wax or wanting to shave the candle.

As for this thing, the only thing I'm struggling is trying to think of a reason I would need candle light for a set period of time. But that's just me. Also, it could still be a conversation piece for sure.

[@ranger178]

we have had one for many years and it is a nice decoration I like the fact that it does not go too long and self extinguishes you can also get a green holiday candle for it.

[@jonchalk3855]

I can definitely see a use for it. The weekly sunset and early next day event that many around the world participate in will understand this.

[@rubenskiii]

It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch that some kind of smooth metal guidance rail/guard could be added that helps it form when unwinding the spool, maybe add a handle to help rotating. With that guidance system in theory u only would have to deal with rotating it and not fiddling with it alligning. Staying in period some kind of clock like mechanism could do the work of unwinding it slowly, this could have been possible in the period but ofcourse not something for the common man at all! Clocks where expensive to begin with, and having such mechanisms for a candle would be excessive, but technically feasible.

[@leow.2162]

I think there must be other factors that make the candle burn faster or slower. E.g. in warm temperatures, it should burn faster bc the wax is at s higher temperature from the get go and will melt and turn into gas faster.

[@kaheinen]

I have a vertical one. The other day when i was burning it, it did not self extinguish. I smelled something burning and it went down under the clip and was burning it. Keep an eye on it when you have it lit.

[@JessicaFEREM]

I think if you carefully unclipped it and moved it up it could stay lit for as long as you want

[@DarkWolfsDen]

A thermocouple set to the side of the candle could theoretically power a SMALL motor that could slowly turn the candle and hold the clamp slightly open so that the candle could be slowly fed upwards allowing for continual use. Add a potentiometer and this will allow for speed adjustment. Add in a power button and you could have a candle that would continually feed as fast as it burned, but when "turned off" it would stop feeding/close the clamp and you would have 40 mins to do any remaining tasks before the candle extinguished itself.

[@AutieTortie]

Surely it should be called the "Candle by the 40 minutes".

Im sure they shared the mentality of "If it works perfectly, no need to fix it".

[@OaMaaM1775]

I don't think it would be difficult to set up a couple of servo motors and an Arduino with a program to automate that candle. You would need to loosen the clamp enough for the candle to slide through.

Since it won't burn for 80 hours continuously, the coil just seems like an unnecessary complication since you'd get the same result with just a pile of separate 2 inch candles and a holder. It needs more space too because the middle of the coil is just empty space. But heyyyy, it's funkeeeeee!
