Heating candle with a burning period of 13 days for a tent or greenhouse

Candles that work like lamps burn for weeks. Since they emit heat, it is easy to assemble a heater on their base. As a result, it is possible to obtain a source of light and heat in one device.

What you will need:

glass jar 3 l;
candle;
miter head;
vegetable, vaseline or lamp oil;
clay pot;
copper wire;
copper plate.

The process of making a heating candle

First of all, prepare a clay flower pot with a volume of 1.5-2 liters. A hole is drilled in it in the center. It can also be sanded and painted if the aesthetics of the heater are important.

The next part of the candle is a 3 liter jar. It requires using a pen to drill a ventilation hole in the glass above the center.

A lid for a glass jar is made from a copper plate. To do this, use a piece in the form of a square, the corners of which are cut and bent. In the center of the lid you need to make cross cuts to bend the corners and get a hole.The lid itself should not fit tightly onto the jar so that air can escape from the side.

To increase the heat transfer of a candle, you need to wind copper wire on any tube with a diameter of 30-50 mm to get a long spiral. Then it is wrapped in a ball. The more wire there is, the better.

The ball is screwed to the lid with a piece of wire. It should be of such a size that the jar can be covered with a pot.
Oil is poured into the jar. Ideally, use a lamp lamp, as it does not smoke.

Then a regular candle is inserted into it. To prevent it from tipping over, you can put a load on it from below, for example, a socket head. It is important that the candle wick is above the oil level.
