1680 The Magical Forever Wick - The Plant Pot Heater On Steroids

[das]

One day a world famous scientist will be interviewed and he or she will say I was inspired to do science because of a guy called Rob on YouTube

[mr.s]

I just recently found this channel and the superior teaching talent of this man. The internet is living up to its original promise with this kind of content. Well done, Robert. 👍

[benjigirl]

Where has this guy been all my life? Love him! My homeschooled kids are going to love this. Now I’m off to see what else he has done!

[catherinehenry]

I like that Robert appears to have so much fun.

Our School systems need teachers like you. Awesome presentation, thanks . You have me thinking. Using a small catalytic tail pipe for more heat and a cleaner burn 🔥

[Luddite]

I absolutely love your films
I love the way you take regular household stuff and use it in ways in which it wasn’t designed to be used for !
This is a superb way to keep the winter chill off
Thanks !!!

I bought a 1" to 1/2" copper reducer to use as the ferrel for the wick. The bottom leaves the felt less compressed for easier wicking and is a steadier base with less chance of being knocked over.

Brilliant, I’m going to biod one for my greenhouse.

Brilliant. This reminds me of an old survival stove I saw when I was a kid. Coffee can, with a toilet paper roll in it. Filled with alcohol, when lit, it only burned on the top, and the paper barely singed.

You connect with your audience with ease! There are few channels (of any material) that I enjoy as much as this one.

For us, this is a seriously life changing innovation. We have no electricity on our land when are working and use lanterns with very expensive lamp oil. I can't wait to try this! Amazing! Thank you!

It seemed to me that when Rob placed the chimney on the plant pot heater the amount of soot exiting into the room went up substantially.

[TrentTationnaiseXization]

Such a wonderful educator! I appreciate every bit of knoledge you share.

A chunk of cotton rope or cord supported in the oil also works fine and doesn’t itself burn up - it’s the basis of the “floating oil candles” that were very popular some time ago. All you really need is a ring around the “neck” of the cord (such as a grommet) which is used to both support the end of the cord above the oil, and also to contain the burning action at the end of the cord. We use these a lot while camping, as they’re self-extinguishing, nontoxic, and pretty.

Farmers used to clean used motor oil by placing it in a barrel in the top of a building and wicking it through a hemp rope to a barrel at the bottom of the building. It would take a long time, but clean oil was the product. I wonder if the carbon wick would clean oil at a faster rate with going uphill and using gravity to separate particles?

You won't believe how any saves and tips YouTube channels have provided me. I'm so grateful for the time you've set aside to teach these skills. Very intriguing.. and life helpful. thank you so much. Very funny... a must try

[cotteeskid]

bloody brilliant. I had seen the plant pot heaters which I liked, but was reluctant to make it due to the frequency of replacing the tea lights. but this is a game changer. cheers

[randyrussell]

Talk about upgrading a design ! Knock a l bigger hole in the top of the ceramic pot and see how much more it drafts ! Fantastic videos, a public service if you ask me, thought that is very much needed in our !

[Milkybar]

Genius, I loved the video by “the outsider- candle convection heater” but the design flaw was the candles would naturally reduce in height and so would the performance. Definitely a game changer 😊

[biancavolosciuc]

Brilliant explanations with great confidence, lovely accent and sparkling intelligence ! Thank you Sir !
