Can anyone tell me how long the Olympic auspicious clouds torch will burn

The Beijing Olympic torch has reached a new technological height in terms of combustion stability and adaptability to the external environment, and can keep burning in the case of strong winds of 65 kilometers per hour and heavy rain of 50 millimeters per hour. In terms of technology, it is designed with thin and high-quality aluminum alloy and hollow plastic parts, which is very lightweight. The lower half is sprayed with high-touch plastic paint, which is comfortable to the touch and not easy to slip off.

The fuel used for the Beijing Olympic torch is propane, which is a cheap and commonly used fuel. Its main components are carbon and hydrogen, and after combustion, there is only carbon dioxide and water, and there are no other substances, which will not cause pollution to the environment.

In terms of craftsmanship, the torch needs to be as light as possible in order to fit the bearers of all sizes and ages, so the housing is designed with thin, high-quality aluminium alloy and hollow plastic parts. The lower half is sprayed with high-touch plastic paint, which is comfortable to the touch and not easy to slip off. The Beijing Olympic Games (Beijing Olympic Games News, Beijing Olympic Games Say) torch is the product of China's independent design and development, and has complete intellectual property rights.

The Beijing Olympic torch can keep burning in bad weather such as gusts, strong winds, strong winds (65 kilometers per hour), rain (maximum rainfall of 50 mm per hour), snow and hail, etc., and can be clearly identified in all lighting conditions, fully meeting the requirements of all kinds of shooting and TV videography.

The lightweight Olympic torch, with a surging core, and the torch burning technology also guaranteed that the torch would be carried to the sky and earth, and the Sydney Olympic Games carried out the first-ever underwater torch relay – the flame was brought underwater by divers, explaining that the torch was equipped with a specially designed flame chamber that chemically made the torch produce flames in both air and underwater.

As a symbol of the Olympic spirit, the flame will never be extinguished, and the torch can be burned in any weather conditions, regardless of strong winds, heavy rains, heavy snow and hail. According to the IOC, once the torch is extinguished, it is lit with a safety lamp, which holds the flame from Greece, but if the light goes out, it is re-lit by Greece.

At the beginning of the design of the Beijing Olympic torch, the Beijing Olympic torch put forward harsh technical indicators for the torch, whether it is gusts, strong winds, or even strong winds of 85 kilometers to 100 kilometers per hour, heavy rain of 50 millimeters per hour, or temperature conditions ranging from minus 6 degrees to 45 degrees Celsius, the torch must be ensured to burn normally. The new technology independently developed by the Chinese will ensure that the Olympic torch burns to a new height in terms of combustion stability and adaptability to the external environment, and this technology is regarded as the core secret of the Olympic Torch Relay Center and has never been leaked. The torch internal combustion system designed and developed by the Aerospace Science and Industry Group is the technical scheme of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games torch, and the Aerospace Science and Industry Group is responsible for completing the production of torch samples combining the shape of the torch with the combustion system.

The "Xiangyun" torch has an oxygen supply device in each torch, and can resist eight-level winds, and can still burn in freezing conditions, and can also be in water.

As long as the fuel is purchased, it can be burned indefinitely.

It's waterproof, but it's not that exaggerated, it can burn for about 15 minutes.

Yes, special materials can also burn under water.

The torch is 72 centimeters long, weighs 985 grams, and has a conical curved shape, which is inspired by the "auspicious clouds" pattern of "symbiosis and harmony", and behind it is the profound accumulation of 5,000 years of China. At the same time, the Beijing 2008 Olympic torch embodies the concept of "Green Olympics, Science and Technology Olympics, and Humanistic Olympics", and is the product of China's independent design and development, with complete intellectual property rights.

In order to ensure the stability of the Xiangyun combustion system, every detail has been fully considered, and the gas tank is connected with threads to avoid failure to ignite due to negligent installation. At the same time, it also realizes that the torch will continue to burn even if it is accidentally dropped. It can keep burning in strong winds of 65 km/h and heavy rain of 50 mm/h.

The Beijing Olympic torch design research and planning work began in August 2005. Combined with the concept of the Beijing Olympic Games, through the analysis of the torch design experience of the previous Olympic Games, the torch design concept, design requirements and creation methods were determined. According to the characteristics of the torch industrial design, in order to achieve the perfect combination of art and technology, with the approval of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee Office, the torch design scheme is dominated by artistic modeling, and the combustion technology and industrial design are combined with simultaneous solicitation, open solicitation and directional commissioned creation.

On December 6, 2005, the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee held a press conference to invite an open call for torch designs. As of February 28, 2006, the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee had received a total of 847 entries from design institutions and designers at home and abroad, of which 388 were valid.

After the preliminary evaluation and re-evaluation of the entries by the Beijing Olympic Torch Design Solicitation Committee, three works were selected and submitted to the Executive Committee of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee for consideration in accordance with the provisions of the evaluation procedure. From June to August 2006, according to the principle of selecting the best artistic design and technical design scheme, the Executive Committee of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee deliberated and determined that the torch shape Xiangyun designed by Lenovo (Beijing) **** Innovation Design Center was the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games torch art design scheme, and the torch internal combustion system designed and developed by the Aerospace Science and Industry Group was the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games torch technical scheme, and determined that the torch shape Xiangyun designed by Lenovo (Beijing) **** by the Aerospace Science and Industry Group was determined to be the torch design scheme of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Assisted in the production of torch samples combining the shape of the torch with the combustion system, and formed the complete design of the Beijing 2008 Olympic torch, which was approved by the International Olympic Committee in January 2007.

Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch Creativity. Xiangyun is a representative symbol of Chinese culture, and its cultural concept has a time span of thousands of years in China. Xiangyun is an auspicious cloud pattern of the ancient Han nationality.

Clouds are a common sight in nature and are endowed with auspicious cultural meanings, hence the name. The design of the torch shape is inspired by traditional Chinese paper scrolls. Paper is one of the four great inventions of China, which came to the West through the Silk Road.

Human civilization spread with the advent of paper. The use of lacquer red on the torch from the Han Dynasty makes it clearly different from the torch design of the previous Olympic Games, and the contrast of red and silver colors produces eye-catching visual effects, which is conducive to various forms of ** communication. The upper and lower proportions of the torch are evenly divided, and the auspicious cloud pattern and three-dimensional relief craft design make the whole torch elegant and gorgeous, and the connotation is heavy.

The Xiangyun of the Beijing Olympic Games is 72 centimeters long and weighs 985 grams.

The Beijing Olympic torch "Xiangyun" was officially released in January 2007. It is 72 cm long, weighs 985 grams, burns 15 minutes, and has a flame height of 25 to 30 cm at zero wind speed, which can be recognized and photographed in both bright light and daylight conditions. In terms of process, the cone surface profile one-time forming technology and aluminum corrosion and coloring technology are used.

The fuel is propane, which meets environmental requirements. The shape of the torch is made of environmentally friendly materials.

According to Lenovo design.

Yao Yingjia, the designer of the innovation center, revealed that Lenovo participated in the design of a 34-person design team. The torch "auspicious clouds" embodies a lot of Chinese elements. "In the 'auspicious cloud' design, every corner of the moire design life, it gathers together, flows, changes, and gives birth to new things.

It is also symbolic that the Olympics bring together people from all over the world who compete. ”

In addition, the "auspicious clouds" have a red design. Red is the color of China and one of Lenovo's most important design elements. In addition, the place where the torchbearer holds his hand is painted with rubber, and the user-friendly design makes the torchbearer feel warmer, which is also in line with the message of the Olympic spirit.

According to Han Xiaoqin, chief designer of Lenovo Innovation Center, in terms of overall shape, "Xiangyun" adopts a free, curved and tense shape. The idea** is that the paper is soft and tense when rolled.

Han Xiaoqin revealed that the design process of "Xiangyun" was eleven "accidental" brainstorming. During the design phase, I thought of a lot of Chinese elements, such as the Great Wall, windmills, Kong Ming lanterns, etc., but in the end I chose a rolled-up paper. His explanation is that the torch relay has two meanings:

One is the transmission of information; Second, China uses the torch to convey Chinese's hopes and blessings to the world and Chinese culture to the world. Among the four great inventions of China, paper is able to carry heavy meanings. The invention of paper allowed history to be recorded, knowledge to be disseminated, and the shape of paper was very simple.

Beautiful auspicious clouds, fiery red, quaint paper scrolls ......The Beijing Olympic torch has a perfect appearance. Beneath the beautiful appearance, "auspicious clouds" beat this powerful heart. The design of the Beijing Olympic torch auspicious cloud with the classical color of history and culture fully demonstrates the level of China's art design and science and technology, and embodies the concept of "green Olympics, science and technology Olympics, and humanistic Olympics" of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

The design of the torch shape is inspired by traditional Chinese paper scrolls. The auspicious cloud pattern is drawn with the lacquer red from the Han Dynasty, which is elegant and gorgeous, and has a heavy connotation.

The route of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch Relay will pass through the historic "Silk Road", a symbol of ancient China's connection with the world, through five continents and visit places where the Olympic flame has never been, as its theme "Journey of Harmony" interprets, bringing friendship and respect to people of different nationalities, races and faiths. The excellent design of the Beijing Olympic torch also added a unique Chinese color to the torch relay, and the "auspicious clouds" spread the auspicious and peaceful message of the Beijing Olympic Games to the world. I am convinced that the Beijing Olympic Torch Relay will leave many extraordinary memories in the memories of people all over the world and create new dreams.

The torch relay will be carried out on five continents and in China. It will be the longest, widest and most participatory relay event in the history of the modern Olympic Games. We hope that the Beijing Olympic Torch Relay will once again spread the Olympic spirit around the world and fully reflect the enthusiasm of the Chinese people for promoting the Olympic movement. It can fully display the beautiful scenery, cultural traditions and spiritual outlook of the people of all countries, places and cities passing through, and enhance the mutual understanding and friendship of the people of all countries in the world; It can further disseminate the rich connotation of the theme slogan of "One World, One Dream" of the Beijing Olympic Games, issue invitations to people from all countries to participate in the Beijing Olympic Games, and share the joy and glory of the Beijing Olympic Games.
