A student investigates how the temperature of solid paraffin wax changes as it melts. The experimental setup is shown below:

A boiling tube containing solid paraffin wax is held upright by a clamp and stand. A thermometer and a low-voltage electrical immersion heater are placed inside the boiling tube, surrounded by the solid wax.

Suggest one way of heating the solid paraffin wax without using electricity.
