the forever wick olive oil lamp or candle.

[@laurar8486]

Here are the directions! Thank you! 1. Use ½" copper tubing. 2. Cut off 1½" with pipe cutter. 3. Expose about ⅛” of tubing out of flange tool. 4. Sand the outside smooth. 5. Take another piece of ½"copper tubing and drill a small hole in the top. 6. Put 14 Gauge 2 Conductor Electrical Wire Cable or just 14g and wrap around pipe about 6x and remove. 7. Use 1¾" round piece of wood as a jig. Drill hole with a ¼" drill bit and add a groove on the top going to the hole for the wire. 8. Leave drill bit in jig as a guide. Slide pipe with wire wrapped around it over bit. Put wire in the groove and wrap the wire in the same direction 3x. Leave enough room for your handle. Bend wire straight up for handle. Remove from jig. 9. Put the flared 1½"copper tubing in coiled wire. 10. Cut 2½ to 3" length x 1" wide of the wick. . Use needle nose pliers to make a handle at top of wire. 11. Push wick in through flange side by twisting it in until about ⅛"is at the flange end, then make 3 cuts to form 4 "legs". 12. Twist the wick "legs"into the handle. Trim wick "legs"to the outside edge of the base of the handle. 13. Add about an inch of olive oil. 14. Squirt accelerant (lamp oil) onto wick (about 10 drops or more to prime), light, and enjoy!

Thank you very much for being kind enough to share this inventive method of having light, it means a lot to me because I have no money to buy fancy prep stuff, and depend on a being given a ride to the store every week or two to get what few things I can afford. This way I won`t have to buy lots of kerosene, I`ve been getting by using candles, but they burn so fast and affording new ones is costly, the ones I use I found second hand cheap, but I don`t have many, and it is so depressing living in the dark, especially with no refrigeration or heat, or hot water..

I'm sick and I'm bored. I'm an engineer and an artist. So, while miserable, watching KZbin on the couch, you showed me this, things went sideways. Still watching KZbin by the light of my new olive oil lamp. Couldn't find any carbon felt, so I went with fiberglass tiki torch wicks. For now. Carbon felt is what I use for all my camp stoves. So much better. However, I got the copper pipe and wire. Didn't much like the spring copper coil at the bottom loke everyone shows. Too springy while moving. So, like wrapping stones for jewelry, I made spider legs that fit the bottom of my mason jar. Don't want it moving while using it as a flashlight. Next, I'm going to sandpaper the glass. Clear glass casts a farther light, but for indoor use, frosted glass refracts light better. Short distance, but much brighter. Color it red to preseve night vission if you need to sneek around. Plus, copper is so steam punk it ridiculous. Spend some time to not just coil the wire, but make it beautiful. A mason jar by itself it iconic in most of our hearts. Then you see one with a copper tree or lotus flower on fire in the middle... I'm just saying. Survival isn't just about utility. Take a few extra minutues to add a little extra to your projects so you can inspire other people who might see what you have made.

Thank you for your response your remark is well noted thank you

[@thebugeyedcow]

Thank you for the ❤️! It would be fair to say that, like you, fire is in my DNA. I heat treat all titanium I come across. However, I wanted to run an idea past you. Much larger mason jar. More oil reserves at the bottom. 3 copper tubes bound together, but all differing lengths. Smallest primes the middle, middle the longest. Like pipe organ pipes. More light at different hights. Like a chandelier version of the smaller lamps for lighting a larger area. Or, 3 identical tubes, slightly fanned out from a central location like a flower. That way you can adjust the brightness by choosing how many to light.

[@tinbender998]

Very very cool 😎 I think that's an awesome idea.

[@thebugeyedcow]

Ok, it's alive!!! Muahahahahaha. One gallon Mason jar hurricane lamp with 3 copper burners wired in a tripod to create 3 close flames.

Would love to send you pictures. I'm working on a 3rd design now. I love the handheld option, and I have a bunch of Mason mugs to play with. Need to knock a few over while burning for a safty test outside.

[@lindachandler2293]

Love your lights! Rural farmer here; when our electricity is out, they get to it as soon as they can. I make a different light for long term burning using small canning jars. Mine are candles using bits of fence fixing wire, odd bits of thin crochet thread and ideally bees wax, but that is expensive so it's usually melted down candle butts and yard sale bits and pieces. I make a coil in the bottom of the jar and crochet around it, up to a standing center. No felt or copper. A 4 ounce jar will burn 24 hours. Wipe it off, spend 2 minutes crocheting around the wire, pour in more recycled wax and it's ready to go again. I keep them handy for working lights because they do so well. Super cheap, reusing things I already have.

Nice how-to on the lamp. I have read many of the comments. Using a torch to light a lamp is a foolish waste of resources unless it is a last resort My philosophy about lighting ANY fire/lamp is "one match - success!". I have taught survival in class, in the water and the bush for several decades, by the way. In an actual survival situation, running out of an ignition source for heat could cost you more than just frustration. Light is necessary with humans for calmness and other mental health issues. The principles for outdoor survival are pretty much the same for indoors. Never burn anything galvanized! The gasses formed from burning the zinc coating is very toxic. Cheers from Alberta, Canada.

[@victorybase5847]

Thanks for sharing sound advice. I think you’re right to make such an important point. We are creatures of habit, if we make a concerted effort to always be cognizant of our resources, being caught off guard without them shouldn’t be a common occurrence during stressful times. Also, teach your kids & grandkids as much as you can-little children are like blank encyclopedias, fill the pages with sound advice & practices so that u don’t have to worry about them falling apart when the wheels come off. They’ll become valuable resources instead of a useless tools 😬

[@sveindanielsolvenus]

You are right that it is the gasified oil that is burning, not the liquid oil. But the reason you can't have too much oil in the lamp, is because a higher oil level increases the contact surface area between the copper and the oil. Copper conducts heat amazingly well. So any heat at the wick, gets wicked away from oil quickly. It cools the wick and the oil, and stops the gasifying. So if the tube was made of steel or clay/ceramic, then the oil level can be higher. As then the heat of the wick will be preserved and be more localized. Clay will really heat insulate the wick from the oil reservoir, so the wick column can be significantly hotter than the reservoir around it. Steel is quite "insulating" too, when compared to copper. With clay, perhaps the oil can be right at the top of the clay tube. Just below the lip. Maybe clay (and perhaps steel) will allow you to ignite the wick without accelerant. Not sure. Maybe with clay or steel, you can have a smaller diameter tube too. Because again, you avoid draining all the heat through the copper metal. The smaller the diameter, the more metal is there to cool the flame, per square area. The wider copper tube you use, the more insulation you add to the system, by increasing the proportion of wick and oil to the amount of copper. And insulation is what allows heat to build up to the vaporization temperature of refined olive oil (around and above 220-240°C (428-464°F)). Conductivities of the materials: Copper: ~400 W/m·K 304 Stainless Steel: ~16 W/m·K (approximately 24-25 times less than copper) Clay: 0.1-1.5 W/m·K (approximately 260-4000 times less than copper) Olive Oil: ~0.17 W/m·K (about 2300 times less than copper) Carbon Felt: ~0.04 W/m·K for pure carbon felt. I think the copper is very pretty, but please test with those other materials, and compare the oil level difference they allow, if any? That would be very interesting.

[@tinbender998]

I will have to give it a go

[@sveindanielsolvenus]

Take a piece of cork and then make a hole in the middle, wide enough for the wick (3mm), and wrap the entire cork piece with aluminum foil. Then put the wick (rolled-up tissue works well) through the hole and make sure no cork is exposed. Then fill the jar with oil, put the floating cork on top and light it. It will float on top of the oil and the oil with burn down completely. Tested many times, the best method and my own idea :)

We have used floating wick olive oil lamps for centuries in the Orthodox church’s. What I have found is that IF you can obtain pomace oil of olives it will burn longer, no need to waste good oil in the lamps. Pomace oil is the last extraction from the ground mash of the olive and pits. It might be difficult to find in the states is the only problem. The copper pipe acts as a preheater for the olive oil which vaporizes the volatile compounds in the oil. Personally olive oil lights put out the best light for relaxation.

A good addition to this to negate the need for an accelerant would be to have either a cotton or hemp wick that feeds up the center of the bundle of carbon felt as a sacrificial wick and you use that for your starter flame.

Olive oil is flammable. It has a flash point of around 410°F (210°C), which means it can ignite when heated to that temperature and exposed to an ignition source, such as a flame or spark. Also the smoke is toxic so its best to have something like that in a controlled environment like inside an ammo box have a pipe going from outside and in and a chimney goings outside, thatvway you use heat but dont lose oxygen or inhale toxic smoke

[@speaklifegardenhomesteadpe8783]

Thank you. I knew it was flammable but wasn't sure about the temp. How bad would this be using something like this, or the floating cork version noted in the comment above, inside for a night? Maybe just 1-3 of them in a regular room, say 10x8 or 12x15 with not the best insulation... So there's likely some air exchange going on. Just curious if I should even try this. Thank you!!

How long will it burn with the small amount of fuel that you add to the candle? This is cool and you’ve done very well!!

[@Subgunman]

@firelight if one uses a larger diameter vessel can you increase the burn time?

[@Teknopottu]

​@@SubgunmanWhy not? If the wick lasts then nothing is stopping you from using bigger fuel container.

You know what this would be good for? Christmas Present for your Mom or Grandma, so long as you make it look good. Nice idea, and has a real old time look. Cool thing about it, you can make it look very fancy if you like, or you can just use what ever you got in the store room.

[@SurvivalistChick]

Wow, incredible. This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Very clever. One tip for filming: it would give us a better view of what you're doing if the camera were in front of your hands, rather than to the side. With the camera to the side, all we see is your hands, not what you're actually doing with the tools. Thanks for the video!

[@whoever6458]

Right on! I like it! I've been making olive oil lamps too but I've been using rolled up paper towels as the wick. I experimented with cotton cloth but it actually didn't work as well. I like your idea with the pipe. Very nice! Thank you!

I like what you have designed but let me ask some questions. How much burn time do you get with that amount of oil? What is the minimum distance of air gap between the oil and the top of the wick? I'm searching for a heat source for the nights I spend in my truck. Oil candles seem to be a good option.

[@tinbender998]

Yes it is a very good option these candles burn very hot and no smoke if the flame is too high you adjust it down 8 hours burn time plus . You want to leave 3/4 of and in from the top.

[@crazysquirrel9425]

I see you are using thermal feedback to help make it work. Nice job. I sew in strands of copper speaker wire into my carbon felt hurricane lamp wicks. I am using regular lamp oil in those. No priming needed. Tested at 25deg F for 1 hour. Worked fine. How much smoke does your setup create? I wonder if you can make it Aladdin Style with a central draft in the wick.

[@tinbender998]

That is cool I am going to have to try that in a hurricane lamp..

[@crazysquirrel9425]

@@tinbender998 Only 2-3 strands are needed. You can use 26 gauge copper picture hanging wire too. I have not tested it in the high summer heat yet. Have to wait 9 months yet lol I wanted to test at 11F the other morning but had another obligation preventing me from doing it. Be aware that carbon felt will initially shrink. Take that into account when cutting the length for that lantern. After that it won't shrink any more. I am waiting to try the citronella oil too. The hotter the fuel, the lower the flash point. Have not tried any other fuel like kerosene or diesel or similar. But the thermal feedback mathematically should work for those as well. Round wicks put out more light than flat wicks. Unfortunately the wick holders in those lanterns only take flat wicks... I found that flame height should be about the same as the wick width too for a good balance. I want to try the arrowhead shaped wick when I get time. Oh and the copper wire trick can be used in cotton wicks too. Zippo lighter wicks I believe have copper wire in them. Works for that should work for other things too.

[@tinbender998]

Awesome I can't wait

[@crazysquirrel9425]

@@tinbender998 Would like to know your results! I want to test out many ideas but lack of time and other things prevent a lot of it. On your copper tube - Was thinking of placing a 1/4" copper tubing inside and just into the flame about midway and the other end where it can get air. Might work like the center draft types others use. But alas, no time to do it...

[@tinbender998]

So last nite I got and started that project. This morning I finished and failed. I tried putting copper up with the forever wick but it just would not work. It's just too long of a pull. So I tried a 3-inch of copper tubing with my forever wick and I failed miserably. So right now I'm staring at one of my candles with a bit of stainless steel screen screen for a chimney and that works but my chimney is too tall I would like to make it to where I could maybe boil some water.

[@tsiciliano61]

[@JelliedInfant]

A torch lighter would probably obviate the need for an accelerant. Nice work!

[@tinbender998]

Oh yes absolutely perfect

[@Gator-357]

I've been making these for years and I flange the tube with a big center punch then roll the edge out with a larhe phillips screwdriver because I didn't have a flange tool for a long time. Pipe doesn't work because the wall thickness is too great and it can't heat up properly to keep the pressure going because it dissipates the heat too quickly. It will work if you lengthen your wick but then you'll have a sooty and sputtery flame that will probably keep going out every so often. I've tried it too and it's ot optimal. My preferred way to make an oil candle is to drill a hole in the lid and solder a short piece of tubing

[@MaryOKC]

Okay I love this! Do you have a link to the wick you used for this project?

[@tinbender998]

[@charlie15627]

Drill some small holes in the sides of the tubes. That will give air a path to travel around the wick and carry the gases to the flame.

[@tinbender998]

I will have to try

[@tomjeffersonwasright2288]

To get bright light, you need a chimney to create air flow up around the wick. Get as used Dietz lantern, or even a cheap knock off for usable light, and use K-1 kerosene. In emergencies, the last thing you need is a dim light flickering in the wind.

[@tinbender998]

Yes I have tried a Dietz hurricane lantern but they do not do well with olive oil you just can't get the olive oil to go up that wick it's too long of a draw it's just is I've tried it

[@johnnymac8264]

What results have you gotten? I tried terra pots and tea candles and the candles went out before it got warm. I’d like to try multiple wicks under the pots to see what the result would be, more heat definitely.

[@tinbender998]

Very good I just made a video with my email

[@R-D-mulig]

@@johnnymac8264 there are many problems to consider. The pots will crack when too hot, but works great with right degrees. I use oil-lamps, but also tealightvs in some of them. The best solution i found is tin cans inside the claypots, because the pots will not crack if it is not heatet uneven. When one part of the pot gets hotter, it will start to crack. Tincans with sand and copper inside the sand is a very good choice. Good luck :)

[@warkmard-dw4dw]

Couldn't you make the copper tubing shorter so that it's bottom end is further away from the bottom of the jar, so you could add more oil, but the oil won't cover the bottom hole of the copper tube. That way the gases can still get into the copper tube, because the copper tube is no longer buried way at the bottom of the jar, but up further towards the top, allowing more oil to be added and still leave space in the copper tube for the gases to enter through the bottom

[@tinbender998]
