The torch is of a curved surface form, with etching and  anodizing being used during its production. A torch can usually keep  burning for approximately 15 minutes in co<em><\/em>nditions wher the flame is 25  to 30 centimetres high in a windless environment. The torch has been  produced to withstand winds of up to 65 kilometres per hour and to stay  alight in rain up to 50mm an hour. The flame can be identified and  photographed in sunshine and areas of extreme brightness. The fuel is  propane which is in accordance with enviro<em><\/em>nmental guidelines. The  material of its form is recyclable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Artistic and Technical Features of the Torch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The torch of the Beijing Olympic Games has a very strong Chinese  flavour.

The fuel of the torch is propane, which is a common fuel  which also comes with a low price. It is composed of carbon and  hydrogen. No material, except carbon dioxide and water remain after the  burning, eliminating any risk of pollution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Burning System<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The burning system of the torch is designed by China Aerospace  Science &amp; Industry Corporation. Its stable burning technique and  adaptability to the enviro<em><\/em>nment have reached a new technical level. It  can stay alight in severe weather co<em><\/em>nditions such as strong wind, rain,  snow, hail, etc. The flame can also be identified in sunshine and areas  of extreme brightness so as to satisfy the requirements of capturing  photographic images and video footage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-3158357229\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Key Facts about the TorchThe torch is 72 centimetres high, weighs 985 grams and is made of  aluminium.
