A wing top is an accessory that can be used with a Bunsen burner to provide a broad flat fan flame, similar to that of a fishtail burner. It is often used to bend glass as it spread out the heat over a larger area, making it more uniform.

Why is there a flame on top of oil rigs?

The flame on top of oil rigs, known as a flare, is used to burn off excess natural gas that cannot be processed or stored. This is a safety measure to prevent the buildup of gas that could lead to dangerous pressure increases or explosions. The flare also helps minimize environmental impact by converting gas into less harmful emissions. Additionally, it serves as a visual indicator of the rig’s operational status.


How does an aircraft atcually get off the ground?

Simply more air pressure under the wing than over it.If you look at an aeroplane wing it has a flat underside and then a curved top. Imagine two bits of air, both are going at the same speed when they get to the wing one has to go over the top to get to the other side (the long way) the other goes underneath (the direct way). This means that more bits of air can go under the wing in any given time than over the top. The fact that more air can then go under increases the pressure under the wing so that the whole plane is experiencing a higher pressure underneath and takes off. This is known as the aerofoil effect.


Can you install a water heater on its side?

No. Gas fired the flame wouldn't touch the tank and on an electric, the thermostat would not work correctly. Cold water is meant to be at the bottom of the tank until it is heated and then taken out of the top.

Why a wing top is necessary in heating a glass tubing for preparing bends?

The purpose of the wing top in a glass bending is for heating large areas and smoothly bending glass because it produces a wide fan-shape flame. The wing design produces more heat and it requires a little scanning motion.

How is thrust used to create lift?

When the aircraft move forward the air moving over the top of the wing curves slightly across the top of the wing this cause a vacuum between the wing surface and the air passing over it. The effect is to pull the wing (and therefore the aircraft) upward thus lifting it off the ground
