Candles

20% of Oxygen is available in the atmosphere. To prove this an experiment is performed in schools with a jar and candle. When I lit a candle in an inverted jar over water, the flame went off after few second and the water started raising inside the jar. The raise was less than 10% of jar volume. When I lit 2 candles inside the jar, the volume of water rasised inside the jar was doubled. I keep on increasing the number of candles and found that the water was proportionally raising with number of candles lit. At one stage water has raised more than 50% of the jar.

If the atmospheric oxygen is only 20 %, water should not raise in the jar more than 20% of its volume.

What may be the reason for the above result?

The water rises in the jar as it replaces the volume of oxygen being used by the candle, in order the maintain the pressure difference, so if you increase the no. of candles the vol. of O2 burned would also increase and so the level of water in jar also increases.

After you’ve said your vows

I tried Micheal’s and Pier 1, but they only carry gold..Then I tried ebay and nothing turned out on there, either.

Does anyone know where to buy some inexpensive, silver pillar candles? Like, those metallic kind?

ive seen them at pat catans craft store or michaels craft store

where in the world can i find these, fairly cheap? I need around 180 of them for a wedding reception. The only place I have had any luck with is an Ebay candle store, but shipping it outrageous!

HELP!!!
Local dollar store, walmart and/or big lots does not carry this color!

When all fails… google search it, it never hurts to try. Good Luck.

Hi. I am making favors right now and need some votives. Have any of you gals bought some in bulk anywhere and how much were they? If all else fails I guess I will get them at the dollar store! Walmart maybe?

The cheap candles are imported (usually from China) and make a smokey mess leaving soot all over the votive holders, ceilings and walls. The soot and pollution can also bother people with breathing problems like asthma or emphysema. I would consider buying more expensive vegetable wax candles with less soot and using fewer of them to cut the cost.

I got an email from this company about their network marketing plan for selling soy candles. I have had some success in the network marketing field in the past and know that with effort, it CAN be a profitable business but I am not familiar with this particular company and would like more info from anyone in the know about them.

Not familiar with this company, but I use soy candles from another company and prefer them over wax based ones because the do not produce as much soot (and not lead in the wicks). So, this companies products, which might be very good, do not appear to be very unique. Unfortunately, selling them as a network marketing business would seem to need a huge volume of customers and business builders to be successful. Soy candles last longer than wax and I buy perhaps two or three a year, at most (and I like candles). However, if you’ve been successful at network marketing, then you know that it can be done with a good marketing plan that brings prospects to you and maximized your time (as opposed to bugging your friends and family to death).

What percentage of people in America and the world at large love scented candles? www.carlscandles.scent-team.com

I don’t know if there is any way to find out the percentage of people in any country or worldwide who like such candles. I like them – I didn’t know the difference until I was given some as a gift, and now I am totally convinced.
