Hey thanks brother this is Richard from the United States and I lived in Germany for a while and really enjoyed it so God bless you stay safe stay strong
That saw blade probably gets pretty warm after awhile. If you had short legs under the saw blade it could Pull warm air up through the arbor hole in the blade to the candles and improve the burn. Candle wax has an ignition point where the wax burns not just the wick. That can be dangerous. So i would limit the number of candles to three or four . Also mass is your friend with this kind of a stove so I put the tea candles in thick glass candle holders. I would set the whole thing in a shallow metal pan for extra safety. These things can break the chill in a small room or the cabin of a boat. Thanks for the video.
I have seen many flower pot heater vids now, and this is the best demonstration I have seen so far. But I say the candles only produce X amount of heat energy whether they are covered with flower pots or not does not matter. They produce just as much heat without the pots as with them. The only things the pots are doing is trapping the heat in the pots so that you can utilize it for warming hands or whatever, but in fact if the goal is to heat a cubic space like a room or cabin, just burning those candles will add the same amount of energy to the space as making one of these heaters. You do not get more heat energy out of a heat source by putting something over it. You would probably "feel" warmer in very cold weather if on top of those pots you put a small pan or bucket of water (not blocking the hole of course, so you keep the air circulation going beneath the water) and that is because if it is cold enough to need heat then the air is certainly going to also be very dry. Adding a small container of water will eventually start evaporating from the heat source below. That will in turn raise the humidity and humid air feels warmer than dry air. People come to Florida in the summer and start crying about the heat when it is only 90 degrees (F) but are fine with 90 in Vegas or Phoenix. The difference is the humidity. So if you ever have to employ this strategy for heating it would probably be wise to add a small vessel of water on top.
If you need to use this method (& I have lived in poorly insulated caravans & mobile homes) then excess humidity & the condensation caused is your enemy. Because warm air holds more moisture than cold air, when warm air cones into contact with cold surfaces (or when the temperature falls), moisture condenses out of of the air, & into your soft furnishings, bedding, mattress, carpets & clothes, where it goes mouldy. Most people in these circumstances are trying tov take moisture out. Damp bedding is cold & nasty.
@@finallythere100 I pile smaller & smaller ones on top. It looks like a tower, a foot or two tall. It really works- it raised the temp. in my 6 ft. by 12 ft. greenhouse twenty degrees F.
The more candles, the more heat. The more pots the more heat. The larger the pots the greater the heat.... so simple. Imagine 4,5 or more of the really large pots what heat they would generate!!! . HOME DEPOT HERE I COME !!
We used a disc (broken) off a disc plow, and 3 short pieces of scrap re-bar. Use a pint jar full of crisco with a short utility candle stuck in it. Light the candle and put the inverted pot over it. When you don't need it anymore, remove the pot, blow out the candle and put the lid back on the pint jar of crisco.
Carbon felt (wick) small copper pipe (push the rolled up felt tightly through the pipe) place on small dish of vegetable oil, two bricks and instead of the flower pot, just use a stainless steel pot. Alot more radiant heat. No welding
If you weld threaded bolts on the bottom plate vertically and use nuts and washers on top, you can have an adjustable output heater. You can adjust the amount of airflow coming in through the bottom.😀👍
Can also use a broiler pan with insert for the base, keep and eye out at places like Good Will or St Vincent de Paul's for a previously owned one to save on cost. Three bricks and I have seen on a dif video where they used Crisco (original) put into a glass mason jar and butcher's twine for a wick. Candles usually have a lead wire running through them and you are breathing that in when it burns.
Excellent video mate and your take on the heater.. (resting on bricks might be easier for most also I wonder if bricks will absorb and give off more heat over a longer period? Not sure might be worth comparing the two methods? Just a thought..) Cheers from London England 👍💪😎🏴🙏
Yes-I agree I bought bricks. I will set it up on top of my stove. I haven't had the time yet to discover how to use the oven rack yet. However, I hope to at least be able to warm up some water facing a power outage. Plus, I bought styrofoam to fit into the windows as it changes the window from an R1 to R5 with the extra coverage blocking the cool air from entering. I am getting prepared now so if I am stuck in another outage, I am not going to be a Popsicle this time. :)
@@NotYourOrdinaryDogWalker I've got some odd pieces of styrofoam but is yours like an inch of so thick & size of windows? How do you get it to stay on there. thanks for tip
Energy put out cannot exceed energy put in. What the pots do, and anything else you use, is absorb heat and keep it more local and puts the radiant heat lower where it is more useful. Otherwise with bare candles, most of the heat simply goes straight to the ceiling.
That’s the first variation with a saw blade and wrenches that I’ve seen. And I like it. Tyvk! Edit: I noticed that you had an anchor put in the middle, to keep it on the table, at least that’s what I thought it was. That’s a really good idea, just because freak things can happen.
Nice ones are sold online they have a base with legs if you can make the same for yourself if you like I'm sure you can because you have tools ... Good luck 👍👍👌
With only three points of contact the pot could easily tip one of three ways in the wide gaps between the wrenches. Three-point contact is great for making sure something doesn't rock onto a fourth leg it's much easier to chip something over off of three legs and four or six
I have this thing beat. A granite pestle containing a tea light or chafing tin with a larger granite pestle mounted above and inverted. Granite is a way better heat sink than terracotta so no need for layering with different sized pots. It stays hot for up to 12 hours, slowly releasing it's warmth and is safe enough to use indoorsm
Do you have a link to a guide on how to do this? Does the pestle have holes in like the flower pots do? Trying to visualise how this would work. Thanks, great idea 👍
@@countesschocofang no. I don't sorry. No hole required, just keep the granite bowl elevated about in inch above the tealight otherwise the wax will get too hot and risk of igniting. The granite stores the heat which is the benefit over terracotta which only holds and then radiates the heat, so a hole is necessary to let out the excess and prevent overheating.
Notbloody Likely: That’s really using the old noodle! I think there might be an economic factor here though, because at 30-40 bucks, versus four for a terra-cotta pot, that may be a factor for some people. Do you get much of a buildup on the inside of the pestle, Or is it even useable again once you used it as part of an improvised radiator set up? And I watched this video, one of the things I thought about is whether it was possible to set up a better heat sink. This is something I think I’d like to try. I really like my granite pestle, so of course I’m thinking really hard about whether or not I want to have to purchase a new one if I spoil this one, and I’m also thinking about how much work it was to lug my last big one home. I guess the truth of the matter is easy: for a routine power outage that lasts a week or two, while the weather is still pretty nice, I’d be all about the flowerpots. But any longer than that, and no matter what the future useability of the pestle, it would pretty much be pressed into service as the weather starts to get colder. That’s irrefutable. I’d like to hear more about your set up, please. The way things are going, every good idea could end up being a very important idea and make a big difference to families everywhere.
You could use an old saucer, baking sheet or pan. If the metal ring of the tea light candle is punctured or not sealed properly the melted wax could run out and cause fire to quickly spread.
The wine mouse - - I saw a post someplace from a Scottish gardener who says that terra-cotta flower pot set ups with a Candle inside his house Scottish gardeners keep their greenhouses from freezing during times of unexpected frost. It probably works just fine for periods of expected frost as well. :-) How did it work for you?
Tiles or bricks work, too. For all us non welding females who live alone. Just saying. You can add flue to the top as well and direct the heat if you use a smaller pot to sleeve it on to.
i use just one pot the size of the first pot (small one) and i use car tire lug nuts to lift the pot off a cement slab so there is space for the air to get in. I can fit about 9 tea candles inside in the pot. Thats about 360 watts of heat.
depending on the foil... i was using it to lined a small burn box for outdoors and it burnt away after a while. to my surprise. so i wonder would it be safe to use with this..
I wonder if you could set a metal tin with a lid on top of the small pot and use the thin as an improvised oven then put the big pot over it all. Wouldnt be able to do a big meal with it bit for one or two people you should be able to
Can this also work as a cooker ?? Maybe put some kind of a grate or stand in top of the outer pot and then maybe put a pot of beans or a coffee pot on top of the grate just so there is some space between the flower pot and what you are heating ?? .just a idea . I have never saw this before. THANKS
Hi there, love the idea, trying it now. This is probably before your time but next time instead of saying have a nice weekend, add a touch of Baveria, say somthing like "Hals und Bein Bruch Im sure I butchered the spelling lol !!
Perhaps if he had some that had no offset. Those are just utterly miserable, and a person who tries to use one ends up with bruised knuckles. I think anybody who has used one of those is glad to get rid of it. And the whole set to which it belongs.
Interesting. Maybe I'm wrong but surely a candle has a certain amount of heat emitted when lit and wherever you put it would heat a room the same amount whether in or out of the flowerpots.
No, I am wrong ........ when you burn a candle the warm air will quickly rise to ceiling level by convection but when it heats a mass like a flowerpot it heats the pot which will then radiate heat which is more likely to keep the room warmer.
@@Kate-lz4fu easier and safer accomplished with a $7 Kerosene RR lamp, a half cup of kerosene (20c) and many more BTUs+ light. A 10x10x8 room will gain 2 degrees from tea candles till they burn low then out....pots or no pots. The pot is good as a hand warmer. If you like candles a glass or tin candle lantern and a real stick candle is better.
My question may be silly (apologies in advance) but what is the point of the flower pots at all? I thought the amount of thermal energy is dependent on the fuel source combusting. So the room would heat the same amount with just the candles, just in less time since you're not restricting oxygen flow. What am I missing?
@@denisefriese7522 thanks for the reply. Just so I'm clear though, the total quantity of heat is the same, it's just radiated over a longer duration, right?
@@jonathanb.3747 You are correct . The flame of a candle or any other heat source cannot be made to produce more heat than it makes. Its basic physics. The so-called low energy halogen heaters burn exactly the same energy as others to give the same amount of heat a 1500watt halogen gives the same heat as any other 1500 watt heater and costs the same to run. Except for fan heaters which by blowing cold air over the element reduces the heat give off by an equivalent radient heater.
So, every 2 hours you have to replace the tea candles? Next time try placing a coin on top of the outer pot to block that part of the air flow. You still have too much heat shooting up to the ceiling. Additionally, it is more efficient when the heater is placed on the floor. Increases the rate of heat transfer.
Are there any copper tubing attachments or methods of application for drawing in cold water to have coils wrapped outside of claypot to enhance warmth/heat extraction into boiling water?
That’s a really cool idea! I’m sure this will work when you put the coils between the clay pots! Sometimes I cook or toast between the clay pots! This works pretty well!
That room seems like it must be very well insulated. To gauge how effective the flower pot heater is, surely you would have to do the same experiment but just with the 6 candles and no pots so you have something to compare the results to?
You need to be very careful and not have the candles touching each other. I saw a video where a man used one of these and the tea lights melted together and started a fire. It would be safer to just have the three tealights as you started with, separated by the wrenches.
Servus, If you use the technique I’m describing with the two open flowerpot bottom holes, the heat in the smallest pot will not reach much more than hundred degrees Celsius, so it is impossible that the wax will catch fire!
@@jerrysamuels8716 Use a larger pot, plug the hole and line the bottom with sand, place a smaller pot inside, and fill in the rest with more sand, pour water into the sides and leave it in the shade. The wet sand naturally cools the inner pot. Cover the top with blankets or towels. It's technique that was used in the the middle east and Mediterranean for a few thousand years.
The science part that I don’t understand is why you can’t just leave a candle out without a pot over it. Won’t it produce the same amount of heat? Or is it that the heat will go up to high and just stay by the roof? Why do you have to put a pot over it? Is that just for safety or does it make the heat radiate differently?
I follow a few different Off the Grid Emergency type channels and stuff yours is the newest one I've come across just curious since I guess you're in germany, if a product called Crisco is available there because one they have heard multiple people talk about is something called the Crisco candles.
Crisco is the name brand of a vegetable oil that is a solid instead of a liquid . The purpose of using that instead of candles is cost over an extended period of time. Say a week without the ability to heat your home in the winter. As well as safety. Not having to worry about easily starting a fire.
WARNING!!! make sure you clear away all old wax if any wax spills out the candles onto your surface let it cool and scrape it away with a putty knife wax is very flammable!!!!. I can't stress how important it is to clear away any wax that spills out and is left on your saw blade or bricks wax is flammable!!!!!!
preparing my soul for hard times ahead and macgyver shit like this puts a big big smile on my face!

this is the best one!! i think you are right thats thwe only way it will heat your cabin!
I like how you repurposed your metal tools. I'm sure the metal base helped to conduct more heat to raise the heat production. Excellent!
A candle puts out the same amount of heat no matter what you do with it. All he's doing is try to localize it for a small amount of time.

Welding prevent the candle to meet each other and create large flame it happens when the pot is super hot 🔥

Good video, another guy on you tube puts a piece of metal between pot one and the larger pot to transfer heat better
Tea candles give only 100 BTU"s per candle, with or without the clay pots. The clay pots will not increase the BTU's only provides mass.
Without pots: Heat rises, room heats from top down.
With pots: Heat radiates outwards, heating the area around the pots

John Bull...... That's a great alternative! Never tried it but I hear they burn for a very long time! Thanks! God Bless!
Bavaria Off the Grid.....I must have gotten crappies ones than you!Lol! Thank you and God Bless!
🔥👏🏼
My question may be silly (apologies in advance) but what is the point of the flower pots at all? I thought the amount of thermal energy is dependent on the fuel source combusting. So the room would heat the same amount with just the candles, just in less time since you're not restricting oxygen flow. What am I missing?
The other materials absorb heat and radiate it more slowly = more heat, longer.
@@denisefriese7522 thanks for the reply. Just so I'm clear though, the total quantity of heat is the same, it's just radiated over a longer duration, right?
@@jonathanb.3747 You are correct .
The flame of a candle or any other heat source cannot be made to produce more heat than it makes.
Its basic physics.
The so-called low energy halogen heaters burn exactly the same energy as others to give the same amount of heat a 1500watt halogen gives the same heat as any other 1500 watt heater and costs the same to run.
Except for fan heaters which by blowing cold air over the element reduces the heat give off by an equivalent radient heater.
@@Lee-70ish It is also called marketing that is why it is so confusing to everyone.
I think that the candle might produce more heat and less light. I don't fully understand the thermodynamics though.
So, every 2 hours you have to replace the tea candles?
Next time try placing a coin on top of the outer pot to block that part of the air flow.
You still have too much heat shooting up to the ceiling.
Additionally, it is more efficient when the heater is placed on the floor.
Increases the rate of heat transfer.
Thank you.
Are there any copper tubing attachments or methods of application for drawing in cold water to have coils wrapped outside of claypot to enhance warmth/heat extraction into boiling water?
That’s a really cool idea! I’m sure this will work when you put the coils between the clay pots! Sometimes I cook or toast between the clay pots! This works pretty well!
@@Bavariaoffthegrid how hot does it get between the pots? Could you cook chicken or is it more toast?
That room seems like it must be very well insulated. To gauge how effective the flower pot heater is, surely you would have to do the same experiment but just with the 6 candles and no pots so you have something to compare the results to?
A cookie sheet with a smaller 1/2 the size cookie sheet inside makes a good base, and no labor.
You need to be very careful and not have the candles touching each other. I saw a video where a man used one of these and the tea lights melted together and started a fire. It would be safer to just have the three tealights as you started with, separated by the wrenches.
Servus, If you use the technique I’m describing with the two open flowerpot bottom holes, the heat in the smallest pot will not reach much more than hundred degrees Celsius, so it is impossible that the wax will catch fire!
Yes I heard that .. to have them distance apart.
I like the idea of each candle in it's own glass holder for safety. All great ideas!
You can use these same pots as an improvised cooler as well
How so?
@@jerrysamuels8716 Use a larger pot, plug the hole and line the bottom with sand, place a smaller pot inside, and fill in the rest with more sand, pour water into the sides and leave it in the shade. The wet sand naturally cools the inner pot.
Cover the top with blankets or towels.
It's technique that was used in the the middle east and Mediterranean for a few thousand years.
Use a few small rocks to lift the large pot
Thank you 😊
Also does it improve the heat if the hole on top of only the smaller one is covered?
Some ppl are blocking the little whole on the smaller clay pot, is that better ?
Thank you for this.
U need to cover the top Hilton first put so the heat circled out from under the y to next
The science part that I don’t understand is why you can’t just leave a candle out without a pot over it. Won’t it produce the same amount of heat? Or is it that the heat will go up to high and just stay by the roof? Why do you have to put a pot over it? Is that just for safety or does it make the heat radiate differently?
Can you do this with Crisco as your fire source?
Yes and Crisco candles may even last a little longer.
The pot got 20 degrees c, or 68 degrees F, but what happened to the heat in the room?
I follow a few different Off the Grid Emergency type channels and stuff yours is the newest one I've come across just curious since I guess you're in germany, if a product called Crisco is available there because one they have heard multiple people talk about is something called the Crisco candles.
Crisco is the name brand of a vegetable oil that is a solid instead of a liquid . The purpose of using that instead of candles is cost over an extended period of time. Say a week without the ability to heat your home in the winter. As well as safety. Not having to worry about easily starting a fire.
WARNING!!! make sure you clear away all old wax if any wax spills out the candles onto your surface let it cool and scrape it away with a putty knife wax is very flammable!!!!. I can't stress how important it is to clear away any wax that spills out and is left on your saw blade or bricks wax is flammable!!!!!!
85🌞🌞🌞🌞🌴🌴🥭🍍watching from tropics. Love your accents.
Aren't you meant to block the top hole on the little pot so that it sucks the air through?
That's what I do
Do you have a video on the water wheel?
Yes but is in German!
@@Bavariaoffthegrid won't do is a lot of good.
Try using a can of crisco it’ll last for 50 plus days
