Concept Variant 1 – Obelisk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The first concept is a mechanically simpler design. It is a variation on an obelisk, or tekhenu, an Egyptian sculpture\/monument that features four sides and a tapered capstone or pyramidon. They are traditionally associated with the Sun god Ra and are seen as frozen rays of light. My variation takes the standard tapered obelisk and turns the capstone into an actual ray of light in the form of a flame. The flame is encased in a cylindrical glass tube that helps the flame pull air up from the vents around the base and sides of the obelisk. This helps the flame grow taller, which increases the air it can pull, recursively growing the flame. The surface of the obelisk will either be sanded and painted white and gold to mimic the obelisks of old, or it will be sanded and coated in a metallic coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concept Variant 2 – Rotating Storyboard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The second variant is significantly more mechanically complex. It is similar in concept to the nativity set seen above. Using a similar venturi effect as variant 1 to take a relatively small flame and increase its size by containing it and funneling more air through the glass tube. However, this variant uses that larger and hotter flame to rotate a small turbine blade located at the top of the glass tube which in turn spins a large diameter paper tube which depicts a story or pattern that rises up the paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What advice do you have for me? Have you worked with fire before?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there something that would make either of these concepts better? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
