Make a Lamp from an Orange in 1 minute.

How to make a simple oil lamp with two standard household items. You will need an orange (fruit) and olive oil. This will enable us to create our own lamp in case of a power outage. No electricity needed and fun to make.

We will show you how the stem of the orange will act as the wick and will actually last 6-8 hours. To add a nice effect use the top of the cut off orange as a shield. You may even get a natural citrus smell as a bonus. Who needs those 20 dollar expensive candles anyway?

I am 22 years old as of now, but I watched this tutorial when I was 13 years old and remade this at home and showed my dad. Crazy... RIP Dylan

No oranges used a mandarin worked really well even though i used corn oil instead and the wick was like one inch tall but it burned for 4 hours!

Nah m8, this wouldn't take 1 minute, it would take 5 hours to make a makeshift knife, 3 years to raise an orange tree and 7 years to grow an olive tree.

RIP Dylan :< he made my childhood creative and extra curious

I thought why not give this a go since i already have the orange and the oil....well somewhere between 9 or 12 oranges i got lost and now im in trouble. I tried explaining i was looking for this stupod natural wick but i just ended up in trouble and now i have to eat oranges....i thonk i dont want to ever see another orange in my life

The first video I ever watched from them, rip Dylan man.

I tried twice, but it didn't work. Any ideas why? The wick ended up lighting both times after a long wait, but it quickly burnt out afterwards.

I followed every step, put oil on the wick, and then kept the flame on it for as long as it took to light, then nothing.

i love how concise and minimalist these quick ones are

[Mooncrest]

That would be handy in NJ, USA. When The hurricane Sandy hit, and if I knew THIS method sooner, I would have saved a few candles... -_-

RIP Dylan Hart, you will be missed, rest easy 🕊😢

Hi, I did actually try this and it works, you just missed out that after a while the bottom gets hot.

AMAZING! 6-8 hours is a good long life for a candle such as this. Plus you get a snack. I bet it smells really good...esp if you use that extra peel as a wind guard. It would be gently heated by the flame and shouldn't catch fire as long as it isn't too close.

I wonder how people find out these things.
