much debate between whom?
9/5/2009 4:29:15 PM
It would if it was on a treadmill

The people around when I made it....some think it will and some think it won'tI kinda think it won't because it won't get much oxygen once it's gotten down so far in the bottle.

i doubt it, the flame wont be able to get enough air to keep burning once it burns down to a certain point[Edited on September 5, 2009 at 4:31 PM. Reason : 6 seconds late. oh well]

i kindly doubt it will burn very much. where would all the wax go? seems to me like it'll just drown itself.

There is a crazy looking smoke collecting right on top of the wax though...it kinda looks like the vapor that comes off dry ice.....
I think even if it does, the inside of the bottle will probably be black when it gets pretty low.
9/5/2009 4:33:26 PM
Well I'm going to let it burn as long as it will....regardless I think it's a pretty cool candle, even if it doesn't work.
9/5/2009 4:35:09 PM
If it's still burning when it gets down pretty low, I wouldn't touch the bottle.Thing's going to be hot as shit.

you would have to somehow drain the wax as it burned, otherwise the wick would burn down and be suffocated by the melt

do YOU PEOPLE not realize that THE WAX IS THE FUEL? jesus. YOU PEOPLE make me sad to share the same degree-granting institution

^Yeah he's right, if that was a case then no candles would work in any jar...

The wax does mostly burn up, I think its air flow that's going to kill this candle. Plus it'll be a bitch to relight if you aren't burning it all at once.
9/5/2009 5:16:37 PM
Well the verdit is out....it will not burn all the way down.
