Egloo - Candle powered heater
Egloo is an easy-use cheap candle-powered heater for domestic use,
realized in terracotta and produced in Italy. Remember: Winter is
coming!
What is Egloo?
Egloo is conceived for contrasting continuous waste of elettricity
used for warming domestic rooms, offering, as a option, a
candle-powered way that provides a cheaper and more ecological
energy, taking advantage of features of terracotta that stores the
heat and slowly and gradually releases it by radiation, even after
it blows out.
How is it made?
Egloo is composed by four elements: the base, the grill and the two
domes.
The base offers a space for the positioning of the candles that,
once you light them up, will warm the domes up.
There is a metal grill placed on the base, serving as a support for
the domes. It makes a space to let the air in, necessary for the
combustion of the candles.
For the well-functioning of the Egloo only three candles are
needed. With an average duration of five hours they are enough to
warm up a *0mq room.
The thinner dome, placed centrally on the base, stores a high rate
of heat, that is conveyed to the external dome; the dome's air
intake facilitate the outgoing of the warm air stored between the
covers, allowing thermal exchange with the environment.
Design
In the design process, the very first step was the idea of a shape
through sketches, so the best model, in terms of aesthetical
attractiveness, could be conceived.
With the second stage, the modeling, the study of the shapes was
refined, evaluating volumes and testing the gestalt of the whole,
to reach the most precise model, ready for prototyping.
In the third stage several physical hand-made prototypes were made
for testing and improving the features.
After evaluating the proper changes and further refining the model
we made the matrix through 3D printing.
From the matrix we generated the mold for the definitive
realization of Egloo.
How to use it
Using Egloo is simple. It takes only the positioning of the three
candles on the base and the insertion of the grill on which the
domes must be placed.
After only five minutes Egloo is ready.
Technical Features
Measures:Egloo has a simple and compact shape. It
can adapt to every kind of place, with a overall weight of 2
kg.
Candles: Egloo needs 3 candles for a complete
refill, enough for warming up a *0mq room. Each refill has a life
of 5 hours with less than *0 cent.
Heat: Once you light it up, Egloo needs 5 minutes
to get to the right temperature. Once the candles are lighted up,
they will warm up before the thinner chamber storing a high rate of
heat (between **0° and **0° degrees), because of it has no air
intake. The warmth is then conveyed to the external covering
(between *0° and *0° degrees).
The air intake of the external dome facilitate the outgoing of the
warm air stored between the covers, allowing thermal exchange with
the room environment.
After only *0 minutes the temperature of the environment
surrounding the Egloo will be increased between 2° and 3°
degrees.
Material:Terracotta is a non-metallic, very
ductile inorganic compound used for heat-resistant covering dued to
its chemicophysical features and its high melting point.
Terracotta is a material particularly suitable for Egloo because
the heat, rapidly stored, is slowly and gradually conveyed to the
environment by thermal radiation.
Energetic Saving
Egloo is a useful utensil to warm average rooms up with a very
restrained cost.
A complete refill of Egloo warms your room up for 5 hours with less
than *0 cent, for a monthly cost of 3$, compared to that of an
elettric stove, consuming around *0$.
Colours
Egloo is available in various versions: Natural, Coloured and
Glazed.
