this is a simple alcohol burner you can make out of a can. The best thing of this project is that only requires a can, an x acto knife or cutter, scissors and a tin opener.It´s a very simpleinstructable so I guarantee it´ll work (as long as you pour a flammable liquid,obviously).

Get the Materials

to cut the can just make a little cut in the middle with the x acto knife and continue it with the scissors.Then press the border down with a knife to remove the little bendings.

Remove the Top

take the tin opener and remove the top just as if you were opening a normal tin.if you want you can sandpaper it to prevent hurting yourself.

Join the Two Parts

this is the most difficult part. you have to press one of the halves down into a bottle top to make the end bigger, and, once you´ve done it, you have to make one fit inside the other (you may have to make a bending in the one that goes inside or press with a knife)

Make It Work!

pour a high degree alcohol, wait for some seconds, light a match and hold it over the alcohol. If it doesn´t work you can drop the match in the alcohol.
