Scientific Principles behind 2017 World Universiade of Safety Lantern and Torch

摘要

The torch relay for the 2017 Taipei Summer Universiade started June. The innovative torch design was altered and tested, follow-up production successfully. For preventing weather effect, the head of the torch embedded with a unique airflow structure that allowed the sacred flame to pass the wind and rain tests. The safety lantern displays a 3D spiral flash. Safety lantern uses biofuel so that the mother flame can transport by air. The scientific principles are Stack effect, Coanda effect, Bernoulli’s principle, and Capillary phenomenon. Product design refers to principles and a series of work from the specifications to determine the product structure. Cross-discipline collaboration is needed to increase the integrity.
