Abstract: An artificial flame apparatus produces a simulated flame using a plume of mist that is illuminated around, about, and/or through an artificial wick. A mist may be produced by a transducer, such as an ultrasonic transducer, that is in contact with liquid from a liquid reservoir. The rate of mist exiting the housing may be modulated to produce a more realistic looking artificial flame. An airflow device may control, shape, vary, and/or move the mist in the creation of the vapor plume. Airflow channels, inlet and outlet ports, openings (angled and/or straight) to effectively transport air to control movement and/or shape plume characteristics (e.g. height, width, density, shape) to simulate the look and effect of a realistic dancing flame. A light source is configured to illuminate the mist and/or the artificial wick.

The artificial wick may be in the shape of a wick or flame and may include a light source. One or more light sources may be configured as the artificial wick. The light intensity, color and rate of change of light may be modulated to produce a more realistic looking artificial flame. A standing wave tube may vary the rate of mist exiting one or more enclosure openings in the tube enclosure.

Abstract: An apparatus having a transducer configured to be modulated and transduce a liquid and form a simulated flame. The transducer may be piezoelectric transducer driven by a modulated drive signal that has varying power levels such that a liquid transduces to a mist, and also such that the transducer controls and shapes the mist to create a vapor plume. The plume is illuminated by a colored light source generating the simulated flame. A wick or a nozzle may present the liquid to the transducer. The wick may have different shapes i.e. helical, tiered, and include intertwined or braided fiber optic cables of varying colors, or LED lights/tubes. The transducer may have multiple openings, perforations, notches, and/or impressions to shape the plume and creating the effect of a dancing flame.
