DIY Copper And Sand Heater | No Electricity Needed For Greenhouse Heat
Heating a room or a greenhouse can become expensive quickly. This sand and copper powered heater can heat for days using a vegetable shortening double or quadruple wick candle. Temperatures can exceed 500 F or 273 C for extended periods of time. This heater is easy to set up and cost less than $20 for most of the materials needed. I'll show in detail how to assemble and add safety features to keep your sand heater safe and running efficiently.

I used to design and build furnaces and their burners.....
I could easily turn sand into liquid glass and 3" down, it's at room temperature.
This is just dumb.
Why? The only thing that heats the green house is the candle.
The heat can either go directly into the room, OR it can go into a heat sink / diffuser, which then directly into the room.
It achieves nothing - it's just a pointless intermediate step, in the transfer of energy between the heat source and the icy cold universe .
If you want a more diffuse heat disribution - just get your candle, and pop up a kettle full of water, or bucket of water, or a 12" square 1/4" plate and stick up up 6 - 8" over the candle....
Or use a basic small fan to circulate the air around the hot house, to break up the stratification, and the ground will become the heat sink...
The best way to improve the candle situation is to use that fuels heat energy to preheat the air going to the flame and to create a neutral flame, so as to get the most heat from the chemical energy in the oil, and maybe dump the hippy wick / biodynamic candle shit.... and then double skin the hot house... to keep more heat in / slow the transfer of heat out...
Dull yellow oil flames are a cold low combustion efficiency chemical reaction..
These hippy cunts don't do maths... never study thermodynamics / insulation / combustion process's - nothing - it's just stupid "wishful thinking"....

To show you how mean I really am.....
Calculate the fuel consumption over 4 hours to figure out the amount of oil being used per minute.
Just weigh the jar.
Calculate the molecular formulation of the oil.... the carbon the hydrogen ratio.
Calculate under perfect combustion what the ratio of oxygen is for the hydrogen and carbon chains..
Work out the heat being emitted.
Work out the energy value of acetylene, and the gas flow rate through a 1mm hole to achieve the same energy value as the oil.
Use a proper acetylene welding torch - and POW! you can punch a hole through 1mm steel plate, using he same amount of energy that is available in the candle oil - just by gassifying it and mixing it with pure oxygen, instead of only 21% atmospheric oxygen.
So preheating the oil with the flames on energy, and mixing it in a turbulent flow, means that while your heating up the 79% nitrogen which does nothing useful, your mixture settings means that all of the carbon and hydrogen in the oil, will be reacted with the oxygen available in the atmosphere......
Off the top of my head - I think the cold yellow oil flame is around 800*C, a clean burning properly mixed up oil flame is around 1800*C and a pure oxygen and oil flame is around 3200*C....
If you go into all the science and maths of petrol and diesel engines, while the fuels have a similar energy conent - the diesel motor gets about 2 x as much power from it's fuel as a petrol engine - high compression - preheat, high turbulence in the combustion chamber (mixing and oxygenation), and a whole heap of other things....
This is good to know for a power outage or SHTF.
i thought this was cool.
