<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">Theory and practicality can be different kettles of fish. The ten hour tea lite candles certainly do heat our living room and have been doing for the past three months or so. Today I increased the ten hour tea lights to 15 and the temperature of our living room reached 78 degrees farenheit. Maybe because the cast iron stove is enclosed and working very well efficiently too heating up the chimney masonry too in the process. Perhaps our home insulation also helps ? </SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">I having poor circulation ad feel the cold so need the warmth provided by the candles to do the job.</SPAN></div>

You can
yourself repeat my following low-tech<BR>experiments from five years ago:<BR><BR><A href="http://lists.bioenergylists.org/en/bollmtt" target=_blank>http://lists.bioenergylists.org/en/bollmtt</A><BR><BR>I learned in that time from Frans Peeters, that one tea-candle has the power<BR>of about 80 Watts. The seven candles would make 560 Watts.<BR><BR>A small electrical plate (diameter 9.5 cm) I use for a small expresso-jug<BR>has 500 Watts electrical power. I am sure this plate is more efficient in<BR>using 500 Watts, than the 560 Watts of the candles with its hot off-stream.<BR>With 7 candles it takes a lot of time to get a water-kettle with 1 liter to<BR>boil.<BR>Those candle stoves with only one or two candles would be sufficient to<BR>maintain the heat in a RHC (retained Heat cooker = hey box).<BR><BR>Let us know about your efforts.<BR><BR>Regards<BR><BR>Martin<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Stoves mailing
