>AIM.
 Using earthen pots(teracotta) as a room heater.

>INTRODUCTION.
 As the name suggests terracotta heater is the earhthen
pots are used as room heater by providing source of heat
as heat provided by candle.

>MATERIALS REQUIRED.
 Metal stand.

 Three Earthen pots of different sizes such that one is smaller

than other as shown in figure…
  Tea light candles

 One long iron nail and twenty washer and some nut bolts

>THEORY
 The idea is a simple one – terracotta heats up slowly and
retains the heat quite well so if you take three or two
terracotta, pots and put them one inside the other with
space for air to move in between then the terracotta
absorbs the heat from one single candle. The air between
the walls of the pots heats up, radiating outwards through
the pots to help heat the room. The nuts and bolts that hold
 the clay pots together are integral to the heating process as
it is the steel that is heating up and radiating the heat to the
terracotta as well.

>LAYOUT OF TERACOTTA HEATER

>PROCEDURE
 Put the bolt/threaded bar through the bottom of the
largest pot from the outside so the long piece is
sticking up the middle of the pot. If it’s threaded bar
put a washer and nut on the outside and fasten. Then
place a washer on the inside shaft and a nut, then
another nut – fasten into place – but not too tight
otherwise we may crack the pot – just enough to be
firm.

 Add a washer then slide the second pot over the bolt
inside the first pot. Add another washer then 2 nuts
and fasten.
  Add a washer then slide the third pot over the bolt,
add another washer and then 3 to 4 nuts depending
on how much space is left on the bolt.

 We now have wer 3 pots bolted together with air

space in between them forming the heater. The point
of adding all the nuts after the third pot is that the
steel is a good conductor of the heat from the candle
that will be placed below the contraption.

 Place wer clay pot heater on two bricks so it balances

evenly. Place a candle in a metal container underneat

 Wait a while until it is nice and warm and starts

radiating heat – some people even place a coffee mug
on top to keep the contents warm.
<We can adjust the height of the candle to the pots – too
far away it will takea long time to heat – if it doesn’t seem
to be working well then raise the height of the candle –
but not too close or we risk the pots exploding.>

>PRECAUTION
 Earthen pots should be porous .
 Arrangement should be done properly .
 0nly wax candle should be as a source of heat .
  Nuts and washers should be tighten and aligned
