Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lichteffektvorrichtung zum Befeuchten der Luft und zum Erzeugen von, der Flamme eines Feuers ähnlichen, Lichtreflexionen mit einem Nebelerzeuger (3), mindestens einem Linienlaser (1) und einem Ventilator (15), dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass
- der Nebelerzeuger (3) nur zum Erzeugen eines relativ begrenzten Volumens an Nebel (17) eingerichtet ist und sich in einer Wanne (5) oder in einem Behälter (21) befindet, über der oder in dem sich der Nebel (17) sammelt,
- der Ventilator (15) in seiner Luftströmung mitreißt und mit Luft vermischt , so das einzelne treibende Nebelschwaden (27) entstehen,
- die Laserstrahlen (7) in die Flugbahn der treibenden Nebelschwaden (27) gerichtet sind, von Ihnen reflektiert werden und so den Eindruck einer Flamme erzeugen und
- die Nebelschwaden (27) durchdringende Laserstrahlen (7) auf eine oder mehrere Profilleisten (8) auftreffen, von der oder von denen sie im wesentlichen geschluckt werden, welches dem Schutz des Betrachters vor zu intensiver Laserstrahlung dient.

The invention relates to a light effect device for humidifying the air and for generating, similar to the flame of a fire, light reflections with a mist generator (3), at least one line laser (1) and a fan (15), characterized in that
the mist generator (3) is set up only to produce a relatively limited volume of mist (17) and is located in a trough (5) or in a container (21) above or in which the mist (17) collects,
- The fan (15) entrains in its air flow and mixed with air, so the individual driving nebulosity (27) arise,
- The laser beams (7) are directed in the trajectory of the driving nebulosity (27), are reflected by you and thus create the impression of a flame and
- The mist (27) penetrating laser beams (7) impinge on one or more moldings (8), of which or from which they are swallowed substantially, which serves to protect the viewer from excessive laser radiation.
