The continuous flame in older gas stoves is called a pilot light. It is a small gas flame that stays lit constantly, serving as an ignition source for the main burner when needed. This design has largely been replaced by electronic ignitions in newer gas stoves for efficiency and safety reasons.

What The Pilot ignites?

The pilot light is a small flame which stays on all the time (as in older water heaters for example). When the water temperature drops below the thermostat setting, the main heating gas is turned on and the pilot light ignites it. There are many other uses for pilot lights. To conserve gas, modern water heaters generate a spark to light the gas.

How does a balloon pilot use density to control the altitude of a balloon?

the pilot heats the air stored in the balloon with a large flame the hotter it gets the higher it goes because the heat changes the density to make it go up or down if the pilot decreases the size of the flame the hot air lowers because the smaller flame has less heat giving it a higher volume, but the air stays the same thus making it lower


How does a gas furnace pilot flame stay burning?

A gas furnace pilot flame stays burning by receiving a constant flow of gas from the pilot light assembly. The pilot light assembly contains a thermocouple that detects the presence of the pilot flame. If the flame goes out, the thermocouple signals the gas valve to shut off, preventing any gas leaks.
