Homemade budget heater from clay pots and candles

Anyone would probably like to get a source of heat, which not only never breaks, but also does not expend money. This may seem unrealistic to some, but there is such an option. Energy can be obtained from a candle using a heater made of a clay pot. No one usually has any difficulties with the creation of such a device.

The heating mechanism is based on the principle of nesting dolls. Ceramic pots of various sizes are held together with a metal rod. Many washers and nuts are strung on an iron base. Due to this, the device can transfer heat collected from the candle further. In a normal situation, a small flame creates a minimum of heat, all of it goes up. Ambient temperature does not change. The area of ​​the ceramic pot makes it possible to collect this heat and transfer it to the air.

It should be borne in mind that a metal base in such a heater can heat up very much. Do not touch it, as you can get burns. The functions of ceramics in this heater include not only the collection of heat, but also the retention of soot. D

The diameter of the structure is approximately eighteen centimeters, the height is twenty-three centimeters. From a single candle, a home-made heater can work for about twenty hours.

The heater, which is based on candles, can be used in emergency situations. It is suitable for warming up a room if there is no electricity and heating. The general temperature in an apartment or house can be raised by several degrees if such mini-heaters are installed in all rooms. As a result, the main fuel can be saved. But at the same time, the candle heater, of course, will not be able to completely replace the heating system with itself.

To create a simple candle heater, you need three clay pots with different diameters, having a thread of about eleven centimeters of a metal base, about twenty washers and about eight nuts.

In the pots you will need to make holes corresponding to the diameter of the main rod. It is necessary to begin assembling the device from the largest pot. The pots should be fixed with the help of nuts and washers, several washers are fastened in between at once. An upper knob is mounted above the candles. An open flame should be placed under the rod.

Home-made candle heaters managed to gain quite a lot of popularity in America. Practical Americans appreciated the cost-effectiveness and simplicity of such a device.
