IS IT POSSIBLE TO HEAT A HOUSE WITH A CANDLE?

[slivkishowen]

I've made a heater for the Cookie's house ))

For those of you making negative comments, I left this as a reply, Everyone should see it:
 I live in a 10 x16 tent shed the size of a larger "room". It is completely insulated with reflectix insulation.I use 2 glass table top oil lamps as heat.Before those, I used 2 oil lamps like the ones in this video.They bring up the temperature a minimum 20° and much higher than what it is outside.As long as you insulate and don't have drafts, candles will thoroughly heat up a room.
I live in freezing NJ.When it gets 20° degrees outside, those 2 oil lamps keep me at minimum 55° and often 60-65° if I don't keep going in and out, opening the door, letting the heat out.
I think my tent shed is proof that an insulated room can be nicely heated with 2 oil lamps.
If you actually have never been in this situation, and never tried to heat with candles, please don't comment negativity. Humble yourselves because you may find yourself homeless without heat. Happy you are blessed enough to have a home with heat, but many aren't as blessed as you.
Let those offering solutions do so without ruining it for those who need the advice.

You are A GENIUS!!
I am a 75 year old pensioner and was worried about power failures during winter in many parts of this troubled world 🌍
I also have family in South Africa where they have " load shedding" up to 12 hrs EVERY DAY for many months!! It is now winter there.
Your idea can be a life saver for many people 😜
Thank you so much!! Erich from New Zealand.

An excellent tip! The casual mention of shelling really brings home the necessity for such DIY solutions.

I'm currently living in a van that doesn't run and have a winter storm bearing down on my location that's supposed to put 3-5 inches of snow with sub zero temperatures in the next 24 hours and I'm definitely going to be building 1 of these heaters this afternoon. Thanks for the information. Also your cat is adorable

I live off grid. I totally understand being cold, needing to have a back up heat supply for when you don't have, can't get or can't afford. Very humbling! I TOTALLY ADMIRE AND RESPECT ANYONE WHO IS KNOWLEDGABLE TO DO THESE THINGS AND WHO IS WILLING TO SHARE WITHOUT FEAR. Love your kitty cat. 🥰I know the most important thing in our home is to keep the cat warm...😂

Adding emergency blankets to the inner layer of the tent works great too. Just tape them in place. I did this winter camping and it made a summer tent so much warmer. You can also use blankets and sheets thrown over the tent when indoors. Insulating the floor or even setting the tent up on the bed/mattress is also possible. Great video. Wise to have a small baofeng too.

"Sometimes after shelling it takes a while to get electricity back" was the most heartbreaking. Praying for you!

I lived in a trailer with no heater. Also as a child froze inwinter . I appreciate the time you took to make the video. It is very helpful. Stay safe.

What you can also do, is get sand, which in cold countries are typically easy to find because we use it to make the ice less slippery. You can fill a pot with sand and rocks and heat it outside using whatever fuel you might have, such as gasoline. When you bring the pot indoors, it will radiate heat for a very long time with no emissions at all. It is a fire hazard though, so be careful with it.

Awe!!! The kitty had a heart nose!!! Carebear kitty!!! Thank you for this video. I'm homeless living in a pop-up camper and need some kind of off grid heating.

I mean.... If you tip the candle over, you'll definitely heat up the whole house though you'll only be able to do it once

It’s insane that these are actually problems real people are facing in this day and age.

[zachrorke]

Man you are like an artist with the filming and voice work. Very pleasant to watch.

First time I saw a video of you, I love what kind of music you pick, your chill voice and the cat is even spreading more positive vibes. I really enjoyed watching this, really harmonic.

I live with my parents all my life I'm 47 years old I respect those who are homeless that is a brutal rough cold lonely life to live especially in them long winter months here in Colorado north Denver that is I'm a breath away from being homeless I don't take anything for granted I appreciate everything I have and every night I sleep in doors I learn from these YouTube flicks and I don't make fun of or make any negative comments to people in that horrible situation I know what to do if that time ever comes God bless you and I pray that I never have to live like that.

Just remember that yellow flame is producing carbon monoxide. I doubt one candle in a tent would put out too many BTUs to be a problem but if you decide to have a flame like that in an enclosed area, you should have a portable carbon monoxide detector with you just to be safe.

I want that gorgeous cat!
You did such a great job of explaining things so that even people unfamiliar with the materials and techniques can build this useful little lamp/heater.
I still want your cat!

Thank you for this video. The candles are very useful during a blackout. Something I experienced some years ago. Never again. I will keep this video and buy the items in the mean while. Thanks again!
