If you simply set a piece of candle on fire, it will burn out within an hour.
Did you know that this candle burns 68 times longer?
Let's conduct an experiment with our own hands, the purpose of which is not to prove - but to show how to increase the burning time of any candle.

For the experiment, let's take two identical pieces of candle.
By the way, if you fill a cup with plain water and use a tea life hack, the candle’s burning time will increase by 2 times.
I have video footage of this experience. If interested, write in the comments.
This jar contains sunflower oil from donuts. This is an excellent fuel for candles.
Pour in 200 milliliters of oil. Let's take a few screenshots before the experiment starts and light the candles. We will start counting the time from the moment the homemade candle touches the oil. Four factors influence how long candles burn. Composition, candle diameter, thread thickness and external temperature.
An ordinary candle burned for 35 minutes.
The oil from the donuts does not smoke when the candle burns, does not smell of anything, and the candle burns 68 times longer than a regular one.
As for the oil after the fries, I don’t know for sure. But I think it doesn’t smell either. Let me know in the comments if I’m wrong and vice versa. You can certainly use other products as alternative candles. For example, pork fat, margarine and butter. There are also more unconventional ideas on the topic of alternative candles.
The experiment lasted three hours. During this time, 15 cubic millimeters of oil burned.
Therefore, 5 milliliters are burned in an hour. Divide 200 grams of oil in a cup by 5, it turns out that the candle burns continuously for 40 hours. Agree. The numbers are impressive.
The difference in the duration of candle burning is also easy to calculate.
40 hours is 2400 minutes. Divide by 35 minutes - the time it takes for the candle to burn without oil. And it turns out that an oil candle burns 68 times longer. This is some fun math.
A few words about safety. When burning, the oil heated up above the environment by only 5 degrees. If you accidentally knock over a cup of burning candle, the oil will not ignite. But as they say, God protects those who are careful. So be careful.
Surely some of you will repeat the experiment.
Let us know in the comments how long your oil candle burned.
That's all, dear friends. Now you know how to make a homemade candle and why this candle burns 68 times longer. The video was prepared for you by the author of the channel 1000 DIY's and Advice - 1000 DIY CRAFTS AND TIPS.
