You guys cold? Is anybody else cold in here? Oh my God, gross. Now I feel muggy. Am I starting
to sweat? It is thick in here in the air. Okay, now it's cold again. I didn't bring
a coat because it's hot outside but it's cold in here and now I don't know what to do. Turns
out these are issues we can DIY ourselves out of. I'm Carly and today I'm going to show you
how to make a radiator and a dehumidifier out of stuff you can find around the house. Let's do it!
Believe it or not, you can make a radiator with just this stuff. I've got a baking sheet,
a muffin tin, aluminum foil, and a flower pot. I'm also going to need a candle,
but we're gonna make a candle. I know, you can make a candle. I'm gonna show you how. Okay,
let's make a candle. Why have I not been making my own candles for years? So you need a glass jar,
any size will do. You could use a mason jar, also. Something for your wick. This is just an
old shoelace, this is, you know, a fancier yarn. Aluminum foil, olive oil, matches, and scissors.
Let's get started. First, we're going to pour the olive oil in. Now, you could use vegetable oil or
sunflower oil, but the olive oil is a particularly safe choice, because if the flame hits it, it'll
go out right away. It also burns a little longer than those other oils. I'm going to leave a little
bit of space at the top, because you don't want to overflow. You're going to take your aluminum foil,
fold it in half so it's nice and sturdy, and poke a little hole for your wick to go through. Okay.
And I'm going to use the shoelace. First, you're just going to dip it quick in the oil like that
and then you're going to thread it through
the aluminum foil. It's sitting right there like
that. Okay, let's light this candle. And remember when you're working with an open flame,
just be mindful of your surroundings and keep an eye on the situation.
There we go, we've got a candle!
Alright, let's make our radiator.
Okay, so we have our candle, and we are ready to assemble our radiator. Here's how it's gonna
work. You're gonna take your muffin tin and place it on top of the baking sheet.
And then take your candle and drop it into the muffin tin. You're gonna light the candle,
which I'm not gonna do right now, but this would be the step where you light the candle, and then
you take the pot and you cover the candle. If your pot has a hole at the top, which this one doesn't,
you could cover the hole with some tin foil just to trap the heat in. You're going to want to make
sure that the edges of the pot are hanging over the empty muffin tin spaces. That's so
that oxygen can still reach that flame and keep it burning. But there you have it! A homemade
emergency radiator in just a couple steps. This will do you right, this will do you warm.
We took care of the cold, now let's tackle mugginess. So here's what you need:
a small container full of baking soda. Step one...and
that's it, there's only one step. This is the dehumidifier! Over time, it's going to start
to clump up because it's taking the humidity out of the air. This is going to work best in a small
space because it's so small, so you might want to get a couple and kind of spread them around. Also,
added bonus, the baking soda will reduce odors in the air, so if that mugginess is
coming with a side order of a funky smell, the baking soda will take care of it.
That's it! One step dehumidifier, baby. Well, people of the universe, there you have it. Now
you know how to make an emergency radiator and a dehumidifier out of stuff that you have around
the house... just like in a closet somewhere in a pantry, just waiting to be used. Just hoping that
they'll get the chance to save the day. Give them that chance. I'm done, I'm sorry. Clumpy baking soda.
