Many of us were astounded at the Opening of the Paris Olympics when the runners’ torches lit the cauldron and what seemed to be an intense fire raised a helium balloon into the evening sky.
Of course, helium and fire don’t play well together. What was seen was a fuel-free, “fake” flame created using 40 LED lights and water mist to give the illusion of a raging ring of fire. As there was no fire actually burning, it was even safe for visitors to come close and admire.
The same type of “safe” fire is also available for our homes, to add the impression of a glowing fireplace.
