Magic felt pens are a type of coloring utensil that can bring a touch of enchantment and wonder to any artistic creation. These pens are not your ordinary markers, as they have a unique feature that sets them apart from the rest - they can change colors! The magic of these pens lies in their special ink formulation. When you start coloring with a magic felt pen, the ink appears to be one color. However, as the ink dries, it undergoes a transformation and gradually changes into another hue. This effect creates a mesmerizing transition that adds a touch of magic to your artwork. One of the great things about magic felt pens is the element of surprise they bring to the coloring experience.
You don't necessarily need a chemical reaction to have visible flames. Most of the light released by fire is due to black body radiation, the heat given off by anything hot. The color of black body radiation depends on exactly how hot the material is. Red is cool, blue is hot. This is true regardless of what the material is. Iron glows the same color as sodium and as helium if all 3 are at 1000 degrees. The common shape and motion of flames is just due to convection currents. Again, all you need is heat, regardless whether it comes from a chemical reaction, a laser, or magic.

The heat from the combustion chamber heats the wood slowly, causing it to release its gas, turning the great pile of wood into nearly pure carbon called charcoal.
One of the great things about magic felt pens is the element of surprise they bring to the coloring experience. You never know what the final colors will be until the ink has completely dried. This unpredictability makes each artwork unique and exciting to create.
Understanding How A Wood Boiler Works
Have you ever wondered what goes on inside that wood boiler in your basement? Also known as a wood-fueled heating system, it is an effective and green way to warm your nest. Grasping the details of wood boiler operation can empower you to take care of your system better and fine-tune its performance. Strap in and get ready to dive deep into wood boilers.
Decoding the Basics of Wood Boiler Operation
Let us crack open the nutshell of wood boiler operations: it uses wood as its energy source to heat water. This heated water then travels through a network of pipes to reach radiators or underfloor heating systems, spreading warmth through your home. The magic begins with combustion, where the potential energy stored in the wood springs to life as heat.
Key Parts of a Wood Boiler
The Firebox
Think of this like a hopper. The firebox is loaded full of wood two or three times a day. In modern wood gasification boilers, there is not too much excitement here. Our wood gasification boilers burn the wood from the bottom. You will only see a small flame if you open the loading door. What is below the firebox is where the magic happens. The floor of the firebox is the top of the combustion chamber. The heat from the combustion chamber heats the wood slowly, causing it to release its gas, turning the great pile of wood into nearly pure carbon called charcoal. The wood boiler will continue to burn the charcoal until it runs out or you add more wood.
The firebox in a gasification boiler will be the dirtiest part of the unit. The wood gas emitted from the wood clings to the cool water-backed walls in the firebox, creating creosote. Creosote moisture and heat make a powerful acid that will eat mild steel in a few short years. The surest fix is to build the firebox entirely from type-304 stainless steel. Which is exactly what we did.
The Combustion Chamber
The combustion chamber uses the wood from the firebox. As the wood heats up, the gas, flame, and oxygen are pulled down into a specially engineered chamber by the combustion fan. These three ingredients mix and create a very intense flame. This intense flame is moved in a way that the gas (smoke, creosote) is thoroughly burned and used. The combustion chamber is made of custom-shaped firebrick. This combustion chamber is an efficiency expert, striving to burn wood completely while minimizing smoke and ashes. The temperatures here reach up to 2,000 degrees.
The Heat Exchanger
The spent super-heated exhaust travels from the combustion chamber into the heat exchanger. Its mission is to enable maximum heat transfer from the exhaust to the water, which ensures top-notch heating. Our heat exchanger is circular and made from high-quality ¼” stainless steel. The combustion fan swirls the air around the heat exchanger. Centrifugal force keeps the hot exhaust in close contact with the steel walls for optimal heat absorption. Which is why we call it the swirl chamber. The heat exchangers’ action resembles that of the gun rifling, bringing us to calling our wood boilers Wood Gun. The air swirling carries ash along with it; this ash moves quickly through the area, scrubbing the walls and reducing maintenance intervals.
The Chimney
Once combustion is complete and the exhaust has been cooled by the water, the leftover gases need to exit the boiler safely – enter the chimney. The flue must be well-insulated to keep the outgoing gases warm, warding off condensation and potential harm to your boiler.
The Circulation Pump
Say hello to the courier service of your wood boiler system. The circulation pump carries hot water from the boiler to your heating system, spreading heat evenly throughout your home. You can fine-tune the speed of the pump based on your heating needs, making it a critical player in your boiler’s efficiency score. The reliability of this pump is crucial, as a hiccup here can halt heat distribution, leaving you out in the cold.
The Art of Boiler Operation
With wood loaded into the firebox, the combustion begins. The air control system holds the reins on the amount of oxygen entering the chamber, dictating how fast or slow the wood burns. As the wood gives way to flames, the heat is passed on to the water through the heat exchanger. The dutiful circulation pump then escorts this heated water to your heating system while cool water returns to the boiler for another round of heating. This cycle continues until every bit of the wood fuel is used up.
Understanding wood boilers equips you with the knowledge to make intelligent decisions about home heating and troubleshoot issues if they pop up. Remember, a well-maintained wood boiler is the secret to efficient and safe heating. From the birth of a flame in the combustion chamber to the journey of heat through water, each step in the wood boiler operation is tailored for efficiency and warmth in your home. So, here is to toasty winter evenings, courtesy of your wood boiler!

2. John - 1 star - I bought the Magic felt pens for my son and he was really excited to use them. However, after just a few uses, the tips started fraying and the colors became blotchy and inconsistent. The pens also bled through the pages of his coloring book, which was really disappointing. I ended up having to buy a different set of markers to replace these. I wouldn't recommend these pens for anyone looking for quality and durability.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - The Magic felt pens were a letdown for me. The colors were not as vibrant as I had hoped and the ink seemed to run out quite quickly.

Overall, these markers didn't meet my expectations and I would recommend looking for alternative options.
