Abstract: A novel structure of an alcohol lamp comprises generally a container for containing alcohol therein, a heating pipe and a U-shaped tubular wick adapting capillary attraction to siphon the alcohol up from the container. The heating pipe provide heating source to warm the wick in order to acclerate the vaporization process of the alcohol in the upper portion of the wick and pressurize the vaporized alcohol so as to intensity the flame of the lamp. An adjustment device is provided to control the intensity of the fire. This invention ensures a reliable and economical use of an alcohol lamp.
