| Patent Number: |
7686471 |
| Title: |
Standalone Flame Simulator |
| Abstract: |
An apparatus for simulating flames using fabric flame sheets or elements.
The apparatus includes a fan or blower for producing a volume of air flow
and two or more flame elements positioned in the fan air flow. First and
second light sources, such as high powered light emitting diodes (LEDs),
are provided to produce light beams having two differing colors such as
an amber beam and an orange/red beam. The light beams are directed so as
to mix or cross on or near the flame elements when the flame elements
extend outward from their mounting location into the fan air flow. Each
of the LEDs has a brightness level that can be tuned or adjusted by a
controller, which may be manual or may be automated to modify the
brightness level of at least one of the LEDs and typically both LEDs
during the operation of the flame simulator.
