Cant you just use a candle? Like the ones taht you put in holloween pumkens?

[sciencetoymaker]

@TheChickeneer I'm not crazy about "tea candles" because they don't put out as much heat, but some people use them.

can i use glue for wood

[sciencetoymaker]

@viktor1804 I don't understand the question. What does wood have to do with this step?

@sciencetoymaker

He is asking if he can use wood glue, for wood.

my engine vibrates and jets out water so it works but it doesn't make a put put noise, is that O.K.?

[sciencetoymaker]

@galenator123 You might find that after a few runs it starts making the sound, too. I don't know why, but the engines seem to get better after a few runs sometimes (assuming no leaks, etc.)

[kiepskipolak]

try glueing the candle on the holder but make the holder sort of a bowl form

[sciencetoymaker]

@kiepskipolak Yes, and melting it on with a lighter--the same idea.

hw do you use tea candles for this?

[sciencetoymaker]

@mo0lie I'm not a big fan of tea candles because many have a tiny flame. But if you use them, just light and push them under the engine.

will you show how to make the vegetable oil burner to?

[sciencetoymaker]

Its really easy to make an oil lamp. Just get a little piece of aluminum foil and make it a little concave. Fill it with a few drops of vegetable oil. Put a short piece of cotton string—it cant be synthetic--half in the oil and half out. The oil will wick up the string. Light it.

thanks!

[sciencetoymaker]

Just in: slackerinside's excellent video response above shows you exactly how to make an oil lamp. Great work!

Slater

[bigobrother123]

[sergentpersonsballs2]

can u use tealight candles for this??

[sciencetoymaker]

Tea candles are not as hot, so the engine takes longer to start and is not as loud or fast, but some people like them.
