  • Publication number: 20240175573
    Abstract: A gas heater having a heater body, a support, and a gas inlet pipe; a bottom of the heater body has a mounting cavity whose side wall has a through hole and in which the support is arranged; a mounting hole is formed on the support; an input end of the gas inlet pipe is detachably mounted to the through hole or to the mounting hole. By arranging the through hole on one side of the heater body and the mounting hole on the support, the input end of the gas inlet pipe can be selectively connected to the side surface or to the bottom surface of the heater body where it may further connect to a hose according to actual application requirements, thereby enabling relatively flexible use and more diversified application scenarios.

  • Publication number: 20240102650
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a fire device forming at least one stream of flames within a center housing, and directing the at least one stream of flames through one or more apertures formed into an upper surface of the center housing and vertically above the center housing. In some examples, one or more gaseous fuel streams are injected towards the at least one stream of flames and above the center housing via fuel injection ports positioned outside of the center housing.

  • Publication number: 20240035657
    Abstract: Methods and systems for a fire device, comprising a common fuel line coupled to a fuel source via a first pressure regulator, wherein the first pressure regulator is configured to provide gaseous fuel from the fuel source to the common fuel line at a first pressure. A first fire display device is coupled to the common fuel line via a second pressure regulator, wherein the second pressure regulator is positioned downstream of the first pressure regulator and provides the gaseous fuel to the first fire display device at a second pressure that is lower than the first pressure.

  • Publication number: 20240035661
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a fire device, comprising injecting multiple gaseous fuel streams upwards to a focal point via corresponding fuel injection ports, wherein the multiple gaseous fuel streams intersect at the focal point; and igniting the multiple gaseous fuel streams at the focal point via the pilot light flame. Deflections panels are coupled to the fire device, in one or more examples.

  • Publication number: 20230418457
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an entertainment system. In one example, a method for operating an entertainment system includes receiving user input at a central control hub communicatively coupled to one or more display devices and converting the instructions into one or more signal transmission modes at the central control hub. The one or more signal transmission modes may correspond to communication modes of the one or more display devices, allowing the instructions to be delivered to the one or more display devices from the central control hub to present the instructions as a visual and/or audio display to an audience.

  • Publication number: 20220275938
    Abstract: Methods and systems for a flame display may comprise flowing fuel from a fuel source to a burner via an electric valve fuel passage that includes an electric valve and via a mechanical valve fuel passage that includes a mechanical valve, receiving a flame boost mode request, and adjusting the electric valve to a wide open position. The flame display may further be operated in a music mode in which the electric valve is adjusted based on an audio input or in a standard mode.

  • Publication number: 20220264207
    Abstract: Methods and systems for a fire device, comprising actuating a respective valve included in each of a plurality of torches based on the audio mode selection and the audio input via a control signal sent through a common line, wherein each of the plurality of torches comprises a wire connection clamp coupling a respective torch of the plurality of torches to the common line to receive the control signal. The valve is part of an ignition configuration, wherein the ignition configuration includes a fan lighter positioned vertically above the gaseous fuel injector, in at least one example.

  • Patent number: 11231173
    Abstract: A “flame show” is responsive to an audio input signal such as music. A base unit including an analog base unit controller circuit is arranged to receive an audio input signal and generate an analog control signal that is responsive to the audio input signal. The analog control signal is distributed, by wire or wireless, to one or more flame display units such as a “tiki torch.” Each flame display unit has a fuel source, and a proportional valve for controlling an amount of fuel supplied to a burner. Preferably, the control signal controls a gate terminal of a MOSFET semiconductor device, which in turn is coupled to control current in the proportional valve each each unit. By deploying multiple flame display units, all coupled to the same base unit, all of the flame display units contribute synchronously to the overall flame show.
