Is It Possible to Extend Flame Duration Beyond 100% Duty Cycle?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around modifying a program for a flame machine operating at a 50Hz AC mains frequency, currently outputting a 20ms continuous flame, which suggests it is at a 100% duty cycle. The user seeks to extend the flame duration to at least one second but is unsure if this is feasible due to the existing duty cycle limitations. Participants express confusion about the specifics of the flame machine and the nature of the program, indicating a need for clearer details. Concerns are raised about safety and the implications of altering flame detection systems, particularly in industrial settings. Overall, the conversation highlights the challenges of extending flame duration while ensuring safety and functionality.

Hello,
I am making some modifications in my programm that had written by someone. it is about a flame machine and AC mains frequency is 50Hz. Now, the program is working for outputting a 20ms continuous flame that means it is quiet clear that it was working at 100% duty cyle(not sure!). I want to make modifications in program to get atleast a continuous flame for 1second or more. I think it is not possible because of it is already working at full duty cycle(not sure!) or am i missing soemthing? The signal that i am working with is PWM. Can i get any help here?

a picture would be worth a thousand words.

Program that puts out a flame? as in extinguish a flame or write to a USB blowtorch?

Not trying to be a wise guy here, just your question is not at all descriptive.

Can you slow down and help us understand what you have?

Me too, Jim. Just what is this about?
 
Firewire ?

Seriously, i didnt mean to chase him away...

Our fossil plant had some flame detectors that measured fluctuatuions in UV region if i recall... i'd be wary of tinkering with those as they were protective equipment on a boiler.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
