Message:

If I purchased some camphor, climbed up say 10 storeys, and lit it, will the
camphor burn brighter than at ground level?  I ask this because, I gain
potential energy when I climb up and there is no residue from camphor to "
hold'' the potential energy.  So how is the gain in potential energy 
compensated?
