How much heat does a candle generate?

[hablablaha]

its cold as hell in my room right now even though my radiator is at max. would it help noticeably if i light a couple of candles?

 

[theabortionator]

Not a lot at first but plenty when the room is on fire

 

[Milksteak]

Find out yourself...obviously. Unless you're for some reason on a candle ration.

 

[max...]

that made me lol hard for some reason

 

[*simba*]

Woah
Rationing candles is nothing to joke around with. In some places they are very scarce and some people may not be able to afford them.
I mean you of all people should know that mayng

 

[hablablaha]

yea, but it would obviously take a lot of time.. just wondering if anybody knew if it was worth the try

Not much haha. I just lost power and we lit a shit ton of candles and it was pretty cold.

 

[hablablaha]

ah well. thx for reply tho!

 

[syrup.]

I think eventually the room would be slightly warmer. But not much.

 

[Milksteak]

So did we!

Wood stove FTW...It was really warm and we made grilled cheese and soup. ballllller

With Aerogel :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerogel
it could keep a decent sized room heated at 30.

Jea! I haz wood pellet stove that runs off power.. So i guess that kinda sucks.

a 12 inch candle will generate as much heat energy as running a space heater for 20 minutes. That the answer you're looking for?

I heard that a lighting a candle in a snow cave can raise the temperature by 20 degrees

 

[saucybiscuits]

i could see this being true over several hours

 

[zagfan5]

this is very very true. ive slept in snow caves numerious times and even on the coldest nights all we ever need to warm the cave is a single candle.
