A can of tuna and a piece of paper towel form a makeshift oil-lamp that burns for 2-3 hours.
Bonus: You can still eat the Tuna afterward.

Project History & More Info:
In early 2013, I had been playing around with making oil lamps with vegetable oil, and that led to making the original “Butter Candle” video which you can see here: http://bit.ly/ButterCandle
Since then, I’ve played with loads of ideas using vegetable oil, including the clementine candle, sun dried tomatoes in oil, and tuna in oil.
I wanted to test the tuna method because it’s something many people could try around the house, and I wanted to see how long it would last.
My experience was 2-3 hours between testing 3 different cans.
I like this idea because you can utilize the light and heat energy from the oil, and still eat the tuna afterward, so it’s another good thing to know in times of emergencies.
