I like this, going to make a couple ! if you'll put a brick in your fire, by the time you're ready to call it a night that brick is hot. Get it out, dust it off carefully cuz it's hot, wrap it up in a thick piece of flannel sideways and lengh wise. It will keep those feet toasty..

I've been using 2 Pot candle heaters and a Metal one all through the Winter in the UK ! The cool air is drawn in at the base so the candles have never caught fire ! I have used about 500 Candles and I have loads of Detectors for Carbon Monoxide and CO2 and Air Quality ! None of them have gone off !!!! My Butane camper heater sometimes sets off my Fire Alarms, but that's when some dust burns off it ! I have saved myself thousands of Pounds on my heating bills !!!! I would make some holes around the bottom of the Tin to stop the candles from getting too hot ! This would let some cool air in ! My stuff is manufactured for the job so they are thoroughly tested ! Sometimes when the wax gets very low a candle will start burning the Wax, but it doesn't cause a fire, and just smells a bit ! But I would not make my own heaters just to save a small amount of Money ! The Pot heaters are Really Good, and So is the metal one ! The bills here are about £5,000 per year and I have spent about £500 on Candles and Gas Cannisters and my Electricity Bill is £600 for a whole Year ! I had my Gas meter Removed so I have no Gas Bill at all ! My candle heaters are on Metal Tables so they can't set fire to anything nearby !
@@WoodsWalkinLYF Yes ! I have manual washing machines and a Mangle. These save me from using dozens of killowatts on a washing machine, tumble dryer and electric iron !
Also if you're out camping just light one candle with your lighter or match, then light the rest of the candles from that flame, and before they all go out light a fresh one 😀 I subscribed! Thanks for posting this!!!! 👍🐾🐾 Love your dog!
Formula for a flash fire. I found out the hard way using only 4 tea lights in a large chunk chicken can with hardware cloth for a grill. I set my bush pot of water on to heat water for coffee. The wax melted & ignited because I left it on too long. 20 minutes or so. You don't need a lid. Just a piece of hardware cloth to prevent anything from falling into the lit candles but letting the heat escape so it doesn't create a combustion fire.
If I set a heat-operated fan on top of the kerosene heater I've described in my own extensive comment earlier (pls read), will that extra dispersion method be enough to make internal heat safer? I'd be putting a magnetic thermometer on the main column while awake and then extinguishing the active fire source b4 going to sleep.
@@NAVYWhistleblowerAssassin I used candles in properly made candle heaters. I don't cook with them unless it's outside ! If you cover the candles it will get too hot and the wax will Ignite.
I've seen others that have a piece of metal flat on the wall behind your burner thing. This looks good for short term warmth, good job! Some things have this part exhausting out the candle smoke out but a second tube that's open to your heating space that absorbs heat from your candle flames by heat transfer so the candle smoke can go out a pipe and the 2nd tube runs through your burning can or across the top allowing heat to enter your heating space. That's great to see you tinkering and creating a helpful🙂gizmo for yourself!
Since your camper is mini: try lining the ceiling and walls with those aluminum like thermal blankets and you'll have a little make shift sauna and you'll be all set my friend 👍
Buy an empty paint can or small alum bucket. Metal cookie sheet or pie tin for the top. 6 hour tea lites made a big difference for me. Keep looking at all the different types. Careful w grouping too many tealites together, they can flash over
It would be a good scam you would have to have multiple pots with a lot of candles and these candles he is using do not put out enough heat unless you have 20 to 30 of them and they burn out in 2 to 3 hours
Sounds like a good idea for whoever your life insurance beneficiaries are, but not for you. These candles are made of paraffin, which builds up concentrated fumes in a confined space like that, and then explode. Clips like these are uploaded for clicks, not to help you.
Awesome, just a thought but maybe a recycled tuna can on the top surface with some h20 could also do a little humidifier, work in a crooked tuna can lid to spin from the heat and a fan gets created.
As part of my reasonable preps for power outages (although we've never had one in my location longer than a very few hours), I bought an excellent vintage kerosene heater for my living room. If the electricity fails, I've thought of stacking half-bricks inside in a staggered chimney style with sand inside the column; it would have to be elevated off the bottom of the heater to allow canned fuel of some kind in there. Maybe park a heat-operated fan on top. The fuel would have to be lit with one of those long-stemmed thingies b4 placing the bricks of course. If I can locate a metal can of the right proportions, it could hold sand to store heat for when I need to conserve candles or whatever the base heat source is coming from. (I don't like the smell of kerosene or lamp oil and I doubt the dogs would either.) Same thing if by some chance I'm caught w/o enough propane canisters. But if there are plenty, I'm thinking maybe I could slip some kind of mini-propane stove (know where I could find one?) in there in place of most of the bricks and heat the heater and contents that way. It would be lovely if there were even some kind of canister with a tube burner attached so it could fit through the kerosene heater's slot that allows the stem for the knob for the fuel can to fit through it. Against official instructions to the contrary, I'm prepared to bring a 20-lb canister indoors and learn in advance how to safely refill smaller canisters from it rather than freezing to death despite other measures to keep warm. Meanwhile, absent emergency, I might stick a mini electric heater inside for the active heat source for supplemental heat to the main propane wall heater; the cord could come out the slot for the kerosene fuel canister that comes with the kerosene heater itself. Last alternate I've thought of for the active heat source might be one of those isopropyl soaked tp-roll arrangements in a can with a carbon filter - so I've heard at least, what burns is not the wet tp but rather the alchorub soaked up by the carbon wick - which some people forego but I'm not sure I would. Comments and suggestions appreciated. Except for the vintage kerosene heater itself, all this is theoretical at the moment.
Hey man! Just made one of these using Ur guide..I have a small shed about 12sqmtr I use for working in. Now that winters here in the UK about 5° today. And with energy prices being so high I needed another way to take the chill off without using my electric burning heater and this has done the job perfectly 👌... having lit the candles and left them for an hour to heat up the shed there is a defo rise in temp and makes the shed a pleasant place to be in the cold weather...My shed is well insulated so it's trapping the heat in nicely too. Thanks m8 u got another sub👍
Hi man i use same design ,but i also shred a few cans by cutting round the can grooves,so its like a spiral spring when you pull it down..pack them in loosely and put a lid on top of that ,few holes in the top..it adds a element type effect holds heat longer and radiates more..i also have the stove fan but that will not run on candle..but i use a 12 volt pc fan..works really well.but another real easy way is a shiny chrome metal dogs bowl with sloping sides.light as many candles as you can ,till they start to snuff each other out.get that right and you have the equivelent of a fire pit in your camper and a excellent light source..ive lived thru winters in a tranny camper van using just that for heat..i discovered candle power about 8yrs back saved me loadsa cash. Subbed man and hello from England 😀
Just remember The colder it is, the more heat it takes to shift the temperature your heating. We've all driven our vehicles on cold days when it seemed the heat just didn't do much good. It takes a lot more time and heat to shift very cold temps compared to just cold. Good idea though. I've seen the clay pot things and wondered about those. The only person I know who used it said they DO work but I'd trust this to actually work more. Please don't forget Anything but a blue flame is putting off carbon monoxide. No matter the source, ensure there's ventilation. Thanks for the video.

I have tested it. It made a significant impact. With some minor ventilation adjustments, and a bit of minor insulation, it would be SIGNIFICANTLY better.
I've been wondering how best to make a heater with rectangular pipe with 2 chambers. air intake at the bottom where the tea LIGHT candles go and a chimney type exit for candle smoke out a window, like a portable a/c. With the second chamber big enough to hold a smaller dual wood stove fan. To blow only the heated air out of the warm chamber heated by the tea LIGHT candles. What do you think?
Could be effective. Be sure to include a way to control air flow, or your candles will burn up faster due to wind speeds and air movements outside the chimney

Thank you for sharing the information. I will try to Copy what you did !What about leaning it up against the wall like that? Wouldn’t the wood catch on fire? Maybe putting it on some bricks would be safer than up against the wood wall? I’m also concerned about that many tea, lights with wind or whatever movement would spill the wax out of the bottom of the tea light onto the tin can which could run out and as it’s running out could still catch fire on something, so I am a little worried about placing it inside another Can in case of spill over or placing it on some bricks instead of on the wood, but I mean a person has to stay warm. I just don’t wanna catch on fire.

I don't really see that you are increasing the heat or creating a heat sink. No lid is needed. If you must have a lid just don't cut it all the way off. Then bend it up.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL................ Dude. These candle heaters don't do anything. They cannot produce anymore heat then the candles give off by themselves, so sense there is no gain then what's the purpose. It's called the first law of thermodynamics.
My point was that for a small room you only need 3 to 4 candles and Obviously if you add more you'll get more heat. No matter the medium. Terracotta will hold heat longer meaning you can use less fuel and get the same high temps than a thin metal will and then disperse it more evenly through surface radiation. Terracotta should only crack from heat during firing and that's if they're still moist. The steam created can literally explode them. Or If they're cheap, meaning large air pockets then yeah maybe they can crack if there's humidity but that's less likely in a cold environment when this is needed. Additionally terracotta is fired clay, (which is just earth) it doesn't really have a "flash point" which is the temperature which a material catches fire. Both metal and clay have melting points. but steel and especially tin (that's what your can looked like) has a much lower melting point than clay. We're talking over 3200 degrees for clay vs. Less than 500 for tin. If you get 3200 degrees from candles you're gonna be rich cause everyone will want some of those candles 😂 All that said i like your setup it's simple and you could probably use it for heating food too

Hello from Wales UK, and I like this kind of tinkering, it's the kind of thing I would have done in my younger days 👍

I don't really see that you are increasing the heat or creating a heat sink. No lid is needed. If you must have a lid just don't cut it all the way off. Then bend it up.
What size was the can ?
The big blue lake green bean can.
And use sand on top, 1 kilogram sand

Why not use one large candle rather than several small ones that generally don’t have a long burn time
Cuz these are cheap.
