Candle Powered Heater DIY Space Heater. Clay/Terracotta pots absorb the thermal energy of the candles and convert it into radiant space heat. Reaches temperatures of 160F to 180F. Heater stays hot for hours. use caution, the inner chamber can reach 500F. heats a small area very effectively. uses 1 to 3 candles or more. could also use small alcohol lamps instead of the candles. of note: heater works by trapping and concentrating the heat that would normally just rise to the ceiling and quickly dissipate in the surrounding air. once pots have warmed up they stay hot for hours. I built both 2 and 3 pot heaters. the 2 pot heater seems much more effective (if you are using large thick pots). if the pots are smaller then 3 pots may be better.

И многоль корова дает молока?

if the pots were made of glass you could have some light too!!

What size pots did you use?
-
i thought you were supposed to leave the top hole open cuz the air will quickly vacuumes through the pots because of science or jesus or something.

Interesting idea. You will need to try this

If you don't go out and buy new pots, but use old pots from the garden, make sure you don't do this on your white carpet as the pots will be wet, and all the wetness will drip off. It was quite pretty watching the condensation form drips around the bottom of the pot but it went on for hours, I mopped and I wiped....surprising how much water a pot with a hole in can hold!

Why two pots? Some even use three, is there a reason why you can't use just one?
-
I've seen this before but with four flower pots constructed in the same way

Make several holes in the bottom (now top) of outer pot and get air convection.
-

and holes in external cup would make airflow better.
