Article is devoted to candle use for room heating. In it it is said that this design with a candle is developed for emergencies, this candle miniradiator can reduce a few costs of room heating, and also it is possible to take pleasure fully in a soft warm given-out heater for a long time. The heater is equipped with a rack, capable to hold a pan with soup.

Whether can warm a flame of a candle? At first sight, the question seems ridiculous and naive, but don’t hurry to do conclusions. After all as a light source a candle – the extremely prodigal device. And here is how the room heater it can appear useful. Under the corresponding conditions.
The Californian inventor Doyli Doss and his company made "A candle obogrevayotel".
This strange by sight a candlestick as utverzhdaet his founder, can appear nezameyonimy at electricity shutdown. The height makes it about 23, and shirina – about 18 santimetrov.
And from its appearance obrashhaet on itself attention a peyorevyornuty pot over the sveyochy. In this pot (and it in "antecedents" a flowerpot also was) and the osyonovny highlight of system is latent.
This pot not simple, but compound. It is made of three pots of the different diameter, enclosed one in another and connected by a long metalyolichesky bolt on which the whole lots of washers and nuts (the benefit is strung, openings in day usually in pots already are).
This intricate kombinayotsiya of ceramics also there were (Quad-Core) and is urged to trap heat from a candle. But what for?
Usual candle, burning down indoors, heat gives out, apparently, very little. And business here that its hot "exhaust" simply leaves up and quickly disappears with ventilation.
Meanwhile the energy stock in a candle isn’t too small. Moreover, with a hot stream of products of combustion the most part of its energetichesyoky contents leaves, and only smaller – passes to the public.
The Labirintny cap over a flame collects energy and carefully accumulates it, heating up quite strongly (the tsentyoralny core is especially heated). And then it is warmly slowly transferred to air by all surface of a keramiyochesky radiator.
Pots also help to entice in lovushku I sit down from a flame that is favorable skazyvaetsya on purity of a ceiling of a room.
The inventor emphasizes that one such device at all spasyot you in the winter at heating and electric power shutdown, but, on the other hand, it is better, than in general anything.
Besides, though this simple konstrukyotsiya is developed, first of all, for emergencies (and not only houses, but also out of it), svechyony a mini-radiator can reduce a few costs of room heating, adding neyobolshy warmth to the room occupied with people while all house "is adjusted" termostatami on lower temperature. Though still it is necessary to count cost of one joule in a candle.
The heater is also equipped with a rack fitted from above, capable to hold a pan with soup.
Before fresh KandleHeetersmozhet normally to warm a room, it is necessary dozhdatsya that residual moisture evaporated from keramiki. On it 3-4 hours can leave, the misyoter of Doss notes.
But then the owner of this thingummy can enjoy fully the soft heat which is given out by a nagrevayotel for a long time. To store the neisyopolzuyemy device neobxodimo in a cellophane package that it didn’t absorb moisture from air.
DOS writes that a wax candle in mass of 4,25 ounces soderzhit about 1 thousand British thermal energy units. In transfer to priyovychny sizes it priyomerno 120 grams and 1,1 megajoules.
If to consider that such candle of 20 hours or slightly bolshe burns, leaves that vyraboyotanny it energy makes 55 kilojoules at an o’clock that corresponds to a moshchyonost in 15,3 watts.
However, according to some information, total "the useful exit" such razmera nevertheless will be higher than a wax candle. Closer to 3 megajoules. That will give average capacity approximately in 42 vatta. And if we attentively look" on svechu from paraffin, perhaps, we will find in it even more potential heat.
However, exact indicators of warmth a sgorayoniya aren’t too important. It is clear, that such podsvechyonik can’t make the competition in moshhnosti to household electric convectors and oil radiators on 0,5-2 kilowatts. Until in the socket there is a current.
On the other hand, and in the presence of a current you hardly will burn down a kilovattny heater tseyoly days without a break if don’t want to be ruined on accounts for an electricity. AKandleHeeter as it is already told, works at one candle 20 with lishyony hours. Only important stipulation: it is impossible to leave it without supervision. After all otkyoryty flame.
The American innovator believes that such heaters should be pleasant not only lyudyam, at home, but also that who there it is rare pokazyvaetsya, preferring travel far from civilization vanity. It can become simple and cheap alternative to kerosene stoves and other keyorosinka. And sometime, probably, will save life to the person who has got, say, by the car to a snow trap, in a blizzard.
At last, this – the tiny glowworm is simply nice. "And still it should remind all of us that once we (people) sat in caves at night round fire and told each other stories" – the inventor speaks.
Poimechaniye. Candles will burn more exactly, more long and less to become swollen, if, before lighting, dunking them into salty water.
