    Такие "каганцы" делала моя бабушка, царство ей небесное, на растительном масле еще в начале далекого и беспокойного 20 века. И зажигала их под иконами на церковные праздники.
    Недобрые предчувствия мне подсказывают что, не стоит об этих источниках света забывать.

    What I do; instead of punching a hole in the cap, is use a thin piece of tin foil to hold the wick. That way I can use the cap on top of the foil to contain the oil. It makes it so I can throw it my backpack without spilling all of the oil out. Bottles with plastic caps work best for this method as the plastic won't stretch the way that tin caps will. Also I use olive oil. It's cheaper, safer, and easier to find.
    Different methods for different applications. Thanks for the upload.

    In our childhood( about 45 years ago) when there was no electricity in villages, people used to make and use them at night. They were kerosene lamps, in small glass bottles. There were 2-3 proper iron lamps with glass cover in the household, but for a short-time use, say, to go to the cow-shed to tend cows or to take a bath in the pond in the summer evenings, these were used. They were the equivalent of battery torches. They were called ' kupi' . I still can remember those oily amber coloured bottles( mostly old medicine bottles )with black burnt wicks. Even made one myself when I was a child. Our village was about 60 km away from Kolkata in Eastern India. Everything changed when electricity came to our village and the use of those 'kupis' stopped slowly. The heavy long battery torch which was considered a prized possession by the head of a family lost its prestige too with the passage of time.

    I found this video to be useful and enjoyable. Perfect in fact. Hes so easy to listen too and the instruction really sinks jn. Some people are born teachers and we should cherish them! Its a sad world we live in to see the hateful rude comments or someone that thinks they can do it better or wants to change something. Why dont you start your own channel? At some point in time, people are going to find the life we once knew and took for granted , is forever gone. A little kindness goes a long way and might be the difference between going to bed hungry or being able to share a meal or a resource. We are teetering on the brink of collapse and i hope i dont live to see just how bad it gets before the final battle. This is a lovely video and im grateful for the time he took to put it out there for someone else's benefit.

    I actually did something similar after a hurricane took out the power for 10 days. I used baby food jars, the laces from an old pair of sneakers (back in the day they were 100% cotton), and regular Wesson cooking oil. They threw a decent amount of light and lasted quite a long time. The wick had to be pulled up a bit every night, but I had plenty left when the power finally came back on.

    Put in some water into your jar and keep the water level just below the wick. Then pour in your oil. Oil will rise to the top, as oil and water don't mix. You will then require less oil and save some money on the cost of lamp oil. Don't let the water touch the wick or the oil won't wick up the yarn properly. This trick is often used in making bottle torches and using tiki oil.

    Thanks for sharing. The same concept, but we used our empty ink bottles for making such lamps. Such candles were our saviors when the power would go off and we had to study during night times for exams. Being from an underdeveloped country like India, we had to improvise such things since the wax candles were expensive back then. And, we always had kerosene (Govt subsidized) at home that was used as fuel in such glass bottles.

    I thought these bottles were glass. I remember the old mini liquor bottles all being glass before, I believe some still are. I think baby food jars are still glass with metal lids on them, plus they are shorter and wider which makes them less likely to tip over.

    excellent work, very useful for those countries which will be bombed by Nato forces and in case they will stay without electricity they can use this technique. Also, I had a similar experience during 1999 when Nato attacked my country and bombed it with depleted uranium, anyway what we can do military production must continue.I would like to share with you my patent.I used a jar with water and just on top I pour some canola oil and i didn't have a wick i used cotton laces and i got it through a sliced piece of wine cork which I pierced actually made a hole and wrap it with aluminum foil and get lace through the hole.and put in in jar.Oil is easier than water so the amount of oil will get on top and water will stay down. And for 78 days of bombing, I spent less than one-liter oil and I stayed alive. I am thankful to God.
    Nato forces bombed the power plant so we stayed several times without electricity 5 to 6 days.

    3,000 years ago people used vegetable oil. Their lamps were called "oil lamps". They had a different design.
    These little lamps here would be more stable, and less likely to tip over, if they were made of glass. For instance some brands of olive oil have a very small bottle ("travel size"). Or some quality spices are sold in wide-mouth glass jars with a metal lid.

      @@MrNiceCobra I use a punch instead of a drill and punch from the BOTTOM of the cap which leaves a little ragged edge on the lid. This allows great grip on the wick from slipping back down in the bottle. I’ve used different size wicks and use a punch just a little under sized for the wick. Just be sure to feed the wick in from the bottom of the lid. When not in use you can use a lid without a hole to seal the bottle and keep the oil inside.

      @@MrNiceCobra I think what he means, is that he keeps extra lids with no holes, with the seal, to use for transport, but then uses the lids with the holes and no seals, for burn time. You see ?

    My God, you have rekindled my childhood days, when i was based in Kenya, we used to have to light our mud hut with oil lamps, and my bicycle had a oil filled head lamp too, that kept most predators at bay, once we had a close shave with a lion trying to enter my hut, brought the flame closer to his face and he ran off, we also kept a long branch with oil soaked rag ready to burn in case the lione does come in and we must then deter him from coming any closer to us, pure jungle living , much different to living now with tablets and LED torches with such a powerful beams that you could shine the lunar surface on a very dark night.

    For those who prefer glass bottles of a similar size, they could stop by any lounge or bar and get some shot-sized Jack Daniels bottles, as those are about the same size as the bottles used here.
    For those who don't care to check with bars, those tiny Olive Oil bottles from the grocery store would do just as well.
