Needle: this heater on the candles will enhance the room temperature in just half an hour Bashny.Net

With the advent of cold weather, the problem of air conditioning of the home gives way to the problem of heating. Devices for this purpose invented a great variety. However, the emerging trends, which, although not able to compete with traditional radiators, boilers and fireplaces, but find the consumer due to the combination of practicality and decoration.



Clay needle on a candlestick "fuel"Compact terracotta invented a talented student at Rome's Academy of fine arts Marco Zagaria (Marco Zagaria). As raw materials, the Italian used the local clay, are widely used in home interiors, and as fuel tea lights, and there was Egloo.



Team dome design in appearance really reminds the dwelling of Eskimos, consists of four parts:

• Round base with grooves (a diameter of about 18 cm).
• Metal grille/holder.
• Internal, integral dome.
• Exterior of the dome, with a hole.

 



On the basis of a set of four tea candles, placed the grate on top is mounted a small dome, and the whole design is covered by a large dome. Due to the lattice remains a clearance for entry of oxygen and maintain slow combustion. In the upper cupola is the opening through which the heated air out.

Because the air gap between the domes, the bottom heats up more (to about 140-180⁰С), and the upper weaker (up to 30-50⁰С), heat accumulates and comes out through the hole. It would seem that only four candles and a kilo of clay, height of ten centimeters, but the baby was able to raise the temperature in a small room (about 20 мᶟ volume) by a few degrees in just half an hour, and for all time (candlelight is enough for five hours), thoroughly warm up.

Egloo is not positioned as an alternative to traditional sources of heat, but to warm chilly hands or to create comfort at the table in the gazebo chilly in the evening he is quite a force. In addition, even after the candles burn, the dome continues to give off heat accumulated during combustion.

Use this environmentally friendly source of heat in any part of the house, the main condition – a smooth horizontal surface, with the fire still not to be trifled with, even though it is from a candle. But when you consider the visual appeal of the dome and a variety of colors and textures offered by the manufacturer, the heater is not only practical, but also easily decorate the interior.













About a year ago, Marco has launched a fundraiser for issue Egloo on the famous crowdfunding site (Indiegogo) and got even more than expected – the idea resonated with many potential customers. The necessary amount was collected in the shortest possible time, and by the end of the collection many times exceed the requested minimum. Therefore, the heaters remained one of the lovely designer of amusements, and was put into production. Today, such a natural tepee heated can be purchased at a price of 50 $. Even with the current rate is not the biggest price for a designer item that is not only warm, but also decorate the house. published
