So I walked into my bathroom to find a candle heater and broken glass.

I thought about the problem and how it could be solved with fire and science. What I came up with is essentially a gasifier turbine with an afterburner.

The broken glass remains on the floor and I'm reminded why Mathematicians are meme machines. No one asked for that solution and I walked barefoot into the bathroom.

If one introduces thermal energy there's a pressure differential that can turn a turbine which would feed cooler oxygen rich air into the system and keep indicating this air. The flame would only be for the main operation while the more volatile hydrocarbons (pretty smells) would be ducted through an hour glass shaped duct from the wax and ignite after the flame.

The broken glass still remains and I think modern candles are fundamentally flawed in their design.

But am I wrong?
