This Flame Burns at 1652°F for More Than 100 Hours!

Intro: This Flame Burns at 1652°F for More Than 100 Hours!

Hello! In today's article, I will describe the process of making the safest and long-burning candle.

Let's start with preparing the materials.

STEP 1:

First, clamp one end of the tube, then fill it with sand. Once the tube is full, crimp the other end.

STEP 2:

Take a bolt and wrap the tube around it, making several turns, as shown in the photo or video.

Don't forget to cut the ends of the tubes and free it from all the sand.

STEP 3:

Using a 1-2 millimeter drill, make a hole strictly in the center of the spiral (pay attention to the drill diameter, as it should not exceed 2 millimeters).

STEP 4:

Now the most interesting part is threading the thread through the tube. To make it easier for me, I first thread a fishing line and then pull it through with a thread. How to make the right loop, watch in the video, as it is very difficult to explain in words.

STEP 5:

Attention! The cotton thread should be threaded from both sides, leaving 5-9 millimeters from the edge of the central hole.

STEP 6:

The entire structure should be installed in the lid, pre-drilling a hole for the diameter of the tubes. Seal the holes with two-component glue and cement.

STEP 7:

Now pour medical alcohol, whiskey, or tequila, and warm up in the tent, cook food, disinfect tools, or conduct physical experiments!

STEP 8:

This is a brilliant burner, and with a large capacity, it can work for more than 100 hours, and it is absolutely safe because its wick never ignites; it works like a vaporizer!

To prevent the tube from collapsing while winding it around the bolt, the tube can be filled with fine sand or salt prior to wind it. This will give inner stability to the tube while winding and prevent any collapse.
The sand can be shaken out. If your tube is super narrow and the sand-grains itself are close to the inner diameter of the tube, salt can be used and then dissolved out with water (Longer process but doable)

That's exactly what I did! But thanks for the idea with salt, it’s brilliant!

Ah... I am sorry. Did somehow overlooked this section... Was on the phone and maybe the scrolling was a bit jumpy as it is on Instructables in browser...
But glad i could give you also the idea with the salt :) At least something was added to the knowledge of the internet then :D
