Candles

Like a lot of others who saw Dave Canterbury’s “A Common Man’s Grease lamp” video, I saw a lot of potential with this stuff.

Now, to be sure, a simple wick would afford the longest burn time…even compared to all of the candles tested in this video. And a normal tealight candle easily burns for hours. However, what I wanted to make and test was a number of recycled tealight candles that could be started with a simple spark.

Thank you Dave for the inspiration. And good luck with the Discovery Channel!
