A non-electronic diversion.
Added 2017-04-21 04:13:25 +0000 UTCI like to throw something random into the mix from time to time, so here's a fun "vintage" device that is still readily available from places like eBay.

2017-04-21 20:13:28 +0000 UTCThe keyword aromaglow should work on eBay.

2017-04-21 20:12:32 +0000 UTCThese look fab! I love the light and fragrance from scented tealights but they don't last very long (low heat stirling engines work great with them). I'm guessing you can add a few drops of fragrance oil to the canola and get an excellent ambiance. Looking forward to your Fitzroy results.

2017-04-21 20:05:07 +0000 UTCWith multiple glasses (e..g. 10 of these), it would probably make a good low cost alternative to using a paraffin heater, such as in a green house or during a power cut. Cooking oil is a lot cheaper than Class C1 paraffin oil.

2017-04-21 14:02:05 +0000 UTCCan you give an indication of things to search ebay for to find them? I could save a fortune on candles when im off grid and the glassware I have collected as a result of the wifes nutella addiction could come in really handy.
2017-04-21 13:35:50 +0000 UTCInteresting. So what kind of electrostatically controlled water dye could be used to turn it into RGB lamp?
2017-04-21 12:39:54 +0000 UTCThe cork-floating-wick things are labelled in Hebrew, yep. Oil lamps are used for a number of purposes in Judaism.

2017-04-21 07:22:54 +0000 UTCI'm so going to try to hack together one of the cork ones this weekend. A bit of cork, some tin foil and a paper towel wick.

2017-04-21 07:19:15 +0000 UTCI do remember finding something along these lines in our family's dish cabinet and finding these to be a fantastically interesting. I don't recall if it was exactly like this one, but it worked the same and likely was the original manufacturer. 😜 you jogged my memory. Love these tangential video 😺

2017-04-21 06:10:21 +0000 UTCAn oil soluble fragrance might be nice, or an insect repellant, especially for those of us in the temperate zone.
2017-04-21 05:48:16 +0000 UTCNifty gadget! Nice and simple!
