DESCRIPTION
Light the wick and let it burn for a
minute, then give the flywheel a spin and it will continue for several
minutes, until
the fuel is gone.

Before running, make sure that about
1/4" of the wick is exposed. Half-fill the reservoir with
methanol. Cap methanol and remove it from the vicinity before
lighting wick.
