Basics
- A Device that Dramatically Improves the Brightness of Flame Based Lanterns / Lamps
- Mainly:
- Gas Lamps (Traditionally Town Gas , but now mainly Methane , or Propane , or White Gas )
- These should also run off of DME , experimentation needed with Syngas , Hydrogen , and Raw Biogas (Sulfur Deposits / SOx Emissions ?)
- Pressurized Liquid Fuel Lanterns ( Kerosene Lanterns / White Gas Lanterns )
- Experimentation needed with running these off of various Alcohols
- Gas Lamps (Traditionally Town Gas , but now mainly Methane , or Propane , or White Gas )
- They work via using the flame to heat Incandescent Materials and/or Candoluminescent Materials that are formed in a mesh "mantle"
- Thus rather than optimizing a flame for brightness, the flame can be adapted for Clean Combustion / Efficiency (Needs Clarification Between the Two)
- Reduces Indoor Air Pollution Where Fueled Lanterns are Still used for Indoor Lighting ( <- Make page on areas where electric lighting is not accessible etc)
