A wax candle (10) positioned below a wax reservoir (30), which is held in position above candle (10) by a wax reservoir support (20). While burning, the heat emitted from the flame of candle (10) causes the wax contained in reservoir (30) to slowly and continuous melt. This melted wax drips down from reservoir (30) into candle (10) and replenishes the wax used for combustion on the wick of candle (10). The rate of this replenishment and the flame size of candle (10) are self regulating, and in direct relationship with each other during cycle outlined below: An increase in flame size causes a subsequent increase in replenishment. An increase in replenishment causes a subsequent decrease in flame size. A decrease in flame size causes a subsequent decrease in replenishment. A decrease in replenishment causes a subsequent increase in flame size. And the cycle begins again. This regulation of dispensed wax allows the surface level of candle (10) to remain relatively constant and does not “burn down” as a traditional candle's would. Therefore, by replacing the wax in reservoir (30) as needed, this candle can be used indefinitely.
A wax candle which continuously replaces the wax it burns, comprising:
