Journalist, YouTuber, and boat owner Dylan Winter created his DIY heater using tea lights and placed inside abread tin and covered with two ceramic flowerpots.
This creative system uses the scientific principles of convection heat transfer and, according to Winter, can heat his home for around 8 hours a day.
His YouTube Channel KeepTurningLeft shows how the method works: The tea lights are first put into a bread loaf tin and covered with a small upside-down flower pot.
