The Asian Games torch cannot be extinguished by wind or rain! Why is it so magical?

From September 8th to 20th

The 19th Asian Games torch relay will officially begin in Hangzhou

The Asian Games torch is one of the important symbols of the Asian Games.

It not only carries the function of passing the holy flame

It also conveys the characteristics of the city

The national ritual vessel of the Asian Games spirit

Its design is full of meaning

It also contains respect and admiration for water

The water-related design on the torch

The Asian Games torch is named "Xinhuo"

Contains the meaning of "inheritance"

The overall design concept of the torch comes from

Liangzhu Culture: Evidence of China's 5,000-year Civilization History

The torch is divided from top to bottom

Multiple parts including the flame outlet, torch crown, torch body, torch base, etc.

The blast port, torch crown and torch body all contain

Liangzhu cultural elements

The Liangzhu culture is an ancient culture in the Taihu Lake Basin in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in my country.

An archaeological culture of the late Neolithic

It has left many relics, including the world's earliest water conservancy system.

Water conservancy system outside Liangzhu ancient city

It is the earliest large-scale water conservancy system discovered in China so far.

It is also the earliest flood control dam project discovered in the world so far.

besides

The base of the torch is engraved with patterns on four sides and eight grooves

Eight water veins as the veins of civilization

Representing the eight major water systems in Zhejiang

They are

Qiantang River (including Cao'e River), Oujiang River, Jiaojiang River, Yongjiang River,

Tiaoxi River, Grand Canal, Feiyun River, Aojiang River

They are not only the mother rivers of the people in Zhejiang Province.

It is also the birthplace of Liangzhu culture.

As well as the main natural elements of Hangzhou Jiangnan Water City

The "black technology" that keeps the torch burning

Wind and rain protection

It is an important indicator in torch design

The Asian Games torch "burning fire"

Can continue to burn in level 8 storm and heavy rain

Behind the fearlessness of wind and rain is a lot of "black technology"

In the past, the torch was

Open a hole near the combustion port to create an air inlet

The Asian Games torch

Concealed air inlet built into the burner port

When the burning torch meets the strong wind

The flame will retract into the torch body

Avoid strong winds that may affect the flames

at the same time

The torch is also designed with "double insurance"

Contains two sets of internal and external fire outlets

Even if the external flame vent is extinguished

The flame spraying state can also be guaranteed inside

It is with the support of these "black technologies"

Only flames can be in the storm

Continuous burning and the fire is clearly visible

The magic of the torch goes far beyond this

They can not only achieve "the wind can not be extinguished, the rain can not be extinguished"

Sometimes underwater transmission is possible

During the Beijing Winter Olympics Torch Relay

This is the first time in Olympic history

First underwater robot torch docking

Do you know the Beijing Winter Olympics torch?

How is underwater transmission achieved?
