A Hanukia that works on the principle of 'connected vessels'

Hanukkah artifact

Scenario and Directions for use:

The Hanukiah works on the principle of "connected vessels", when oil is been pouring only into the main input (hole) – The 'Shamash' feeder, from which the oil extends into the various containers (branches), respectively. On the first day We carefully fill it up, until the oil reaches to the top of the left branch, and the wick is floating up and pops right out. On the second day, we stop filling once the oil reaches the end of the second branch. This action is repeated, on every single day that passes, by filling respectively, the number of branches, according to the number of that day. And so, on the eighth day, we fill up the Hanukia with oil until all the branches are filled with oil, and all the wicks ready for use.

Using only one oil feeder and the "connected vessels" principle, creates a successful collaboration between two top players, the Shamesh and the Oil. And the hidden way, through which the oil flows to the various containers, reminds of the Hanukkah Miracle in an Implicitly way.
