Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein include an apparatus for providing a simulated flame that includes a base housing, a flow generator contained within the base housing that is configured to generate a flow of atomized fluid, a lid positioned on top of the base housing, the lid defining a main opening through which the flow of atomized fluid is configured to be emitted, a chimney that is attached to a top surface of the lid and that, at least partially, surrounds the opening, the chimney extending upward from the top surface of the lid and being configured to focus, at least in part, the flow of atomized fluid into a channel of atomized fluid, and one or more light sources that are positioned near the opening to the lid that are configured to illuminate the channel of atomized fluid to provide the simulated flame.
