Hurricane lamp
This consists of a small kerosene tank at the bottom to which a burner is fixed. At one end of a wick, the burner is put inside the kerosone in the tank. A glass chimney is provided to prevent wind from putting off the flame and also to distribute the light evenly in all directions.
When the wick is lit, kerosene flows up through the fine hole in the wick due to capillary action. The holes provided to the burner help cool air to come in ad the holes provided at the top help hot air to leave the lamp.
