What fuel is the Olympic kindling lamp?

The fuel of the Olympic flame lamp is propane. The previous Olympic flame usually used propane as fuel. However, since 1928 Amsterdam Olympic Games first lit the modern Olympic torch, fuels such as magnesium, gunpowder, resin and olive oil have also been used. Unlike propane, hydrogen does not produce carbon dioxide when burned. The main torch in Tokyo uses hydrogen produced by a renewable energy factory in Fukushima Prefecture. Propane and hydrogen were used in the torch relay.

The moral of Olympic kindling lamp

The idea of the kindling lantern originated from Changxin Palace Lantern in the Western Han Dynasty, hoping to express people's pursuit and yearning for light and hope through the implication of Changxin Palace. The flying red ribbon surrounds the top of the kindling lamp, which is unified with the visual image of the torch "flying" and symbolizes the Olympic passion of hard work. The Fiona Fang nested in the model of the kindling lamp symbolizes a round place, and the silver metallic luster and crystal clear glass set each other off, expressing the perfect fit between the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation and the Olympic spirit.
