The only condition: raise the heat during the nighttime. Aarhus University researchers created this environmentally-friendly, financially-winning system by using simulations and calculation models. Increasing the use of 10 percent more energy will save the same percentage on the heating bill. This […]

It sounds like science fiction, but it really is a simple and green energy device, that could save you a lot of money by only lighting a candle, in the long run. The CO2 output of a candle is too small to mention, and the materials that this device is made of are all here since the Earth exists.
