Abstract: A combustion system includes, burner, a camera, and a control circuit. The burner initiates a combustion reaction. The camera takes a plurality of images of the combustion reaction. The control circuit produces from the images an averaged image and adjusts the combustion reaction based on the adjusted image.

Abstract: An electrically enhanced combustor includes bilayer insulation. A thermal insulator protects an electrical insulator from high temperatures that could cause the electrical insulator to become at least somewhat electrically conductive.

Abstract: A combustion system includes a fuel and oxidant source, a perforated flame holder, and a support structure that supports the perforated flame holder at a selected distance from the fuel and oxidant source. The fuel and oxidant source outputs fuel and oxidant onto the perforated flame holder. The perforated flame holder receives the fuel and oxidant and sustains a combustion reaction of the fuel and oxidant within the perforated flame holder.

Abstract: A solid fuel combustion system includes a solid fuel burner configured to sustain a combustion reaction of a solid fuel and an oxidant. The solid fuel combustion system includes a first and a second electrode positioned to adjust a shape of a combustion reaction of solid fuel and an oxidant by generating an electric field.
