Video reveals how to heat your home using just TEALIGHTS and FLOWERPOTS - and it costs just 8p a day

* YouTube user Dylan Winter created the DIY heater for his boat and office
* He used tealights that cost £1 for a pack of 100 plus two basic ceramic pots
* The process uses the theory of convection heat transfer to warm a room
* Tealights burn for around four hours in the morning and afternoon

Rising energy bills are a political hot topic at the moment but one YouTube user has devised a way of heating a room for just 8p a day.

Journalist and boat owner Dylan Winter created his DIY heater using tealights placed inside a bread tin and covered with two ceramic flowerpots.

The system uses the scientific principles of convection heat transfer and Winter claims it can heat his home for around eight hours a day.

Winter, who posts to YouTube under the username KeepTurningLeft, is a journalist and boat owner.

He created the DIY heater as an alternative way of heating his boat as well as his office at home.

Winter bought tealights from Ikea that cost £1 for 100, a standard loaf tin, and two different-sized flowerpots.

The smaller flowerpot, when placed upside down, needs to just cover the centre of the loaf tin, while the larger flowerpot needs to sit comfortably over the smaller one.

In the video explaining how to build the heater, Winter lights four of the candles and places them inside the tin.

He places the smaller flowerpot upside down on top of the tin and covers the hole in the pot with one of the metal cases leftover from the tealights.

The larger flowerpot is then placed on top of the smaller one, and its hole is left uncovered.

In the video, the tealights are put inside a bread loaf tin and covered with a small upside-down flowerpot. The hole in the top of the upside-down pot is covered with the metal casing leftover from one of the tealights. This pot is covered by a second, larger pot and the hole in the bigger flowerpot is left uncovered

Winter explains that the heat from the candles warms the inside of the smaller flowerpot, which becomes an ‘inner core’ that gets ‘very hot.’

A ‘convection of air’ is then created between the smaller and larger pots and this heated air comes out the top of the homemade heater.

The system works because the candles produce gases full of heated particles that are captured and channelled through the pots.

These hot gas particles are lighter than the gases in the air, meaning they rise up into the colder area.

This causes the cold air to fall into the warm areas and creates a convection current which transfers heat from the pots and through the hole in the top.

Winter said: ‘People have told me that judicious positioning of flowerpots help to make the heating more efficient. I did not believe it but it really does seem to work.

'You get a nice flow around the [pots] and it warms the room up. You’d be amazed.’

KeepTurningLeft works for Practical Boat Owner magazine and claims he uses the DIY heater on his boat.

Each tealight burns for around four hours, and Dylan Winter uses four tealights in the morning, and four in the afternoon to heat his rooms for eight hours a day.

Ukratko ...

Dylan Winter je na YT objavio kako se grejati na svece. Sto je najznacajnije, dobija se efikasno grejanje za male pare.

Koristeci dve glinene posude, saksije, 4 svece, tepsiju na kojoj ce ovo stajati, neki podmetac da se toplotno izoluje od mesta na kome stoji i novcic.

Na metalnu tepsiju se stave 4 upaljene svece. preko njih dve saksije koje staju jedna u drugu. Potrebno je da je izmedju njih razmak kako bi se obezbedila cirkulacija vazduha. Na onu ispod se stavi novcic preko rupe koja je na njenom dnu.

I to je cela skalamerija koja greje oko 4 sata jednu sobu, dok svece ne izgore. Potrbno je obratiti paznju da se neko ne opece na unutrasnju saksiju koja je vrela, dok je spoljna topla.

I ko kaze da Pirocanci nisu znali. Samo jos da su upalili svece. Smiley
