Harnessing fire for effect

The Tempest Gas Torch lights up an outdoor setting with dramatic effect.

It is designed to display and reflect a unique, spiral-like flame within an open-aired, rectangular tempered glass housing.

It has been created as an outdoor accessory for a wide variety of exterior settings and applications: poolside entertaining areas, outdoor living spaces, front walkway, pillars, mounted onto moveable stainless-steel columns, atop stone pillars or deck posts or attached to any building’s exterior.

The innovation comes from its patent-pending torch technology that requires no mechanical or electrical means. Its no-power draft system simply utilises the Venturi Effect for its unique flame appearance. (The Venturi Effect, named after Italian physicist Giovanni Battista Venturi, states an increase in air velocity occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure.) The tempered glass housing design constricts inward oxygen needed for combustion thus reducing the pressure – at the same time increasing the flame velocity for a dramatic, spiral-like presentation of fire.

Run off natural gas lines or LPG, the variable flame reaches a height of 43cm. And the four-sided, 46cm tall open-air tempered glass housing is designed to prevent the flame going out during high winds or rainfall, but includes an automatic gas safety shutoff switch should the flame ever dissipate.
