Benefits of technology

[0010]A standalone system may advantageously permit the economical deployment of flame effect systems with much more numerous, and potentially smaller, flame effects than traditional flame effects systems. Such a system would have its own advantages over conventional systems, by allowing far more complex visual effects to be produced in fire. A standalone flame system may also be easier, cheaper, and safer to install.

Problems solved by technology

The cost and technical challenges inherent in designing and installing these distribution networks account for a large portion of the overall cost of flame effect systems.
These costs are a major factor that limits the breadth with which flame effects are used.
Further, the costs and complexity of these distribution networks increase as the number of flame effects they are intended to supply increases.

Abstract

The invention provides systems and methods for standalone flame effects. Various aspects of the invention described herein may be applied to any of the particular applications set forth below or for any other types of fire displays. A flame effect may include a local fuel source, a burner configured to receive a flammable fuel from the fuel source, a local power source, and a wireless communication module in electrical communication with the local power source. The location of one or more flame effects may be automatically determined, and may be used in creating a desired fire display.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Flame effects used for entertainment purposes before audiences, on stages and otherwise are typically connected to fuel supplies, power supplies and control signal networks with hoses and cables that form bulky and complex networks. The cost and technical challenges inherent in designing and installing these distribution networks account for a large portion of the overall cost of flame effect systems. These costs are a major factor that limits the breadth with which flame effects are used.[0002]Further, the costs and complexity of these distribution networks increase as the number of flame effects they are intended to supply increases. Consequently, flame effects are generally few in number at any given event (less than 100) and are commonly designed to produce large quantities of fire per flame effect to leverage a small number of effects.[0003]Accordingly, it would be desirable to eliminate the need for fuel, power and control signal networks havin...
