ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the automatic combustion of gas produced from oil and natural gas wells at remote locations is described as including an inner conduit having a first and second end that is disposed within a larger dimension outer conduit, each of which share a parallel longitudinal axis. The inner conduit first end is attached to a source of escaping gas and the second end is disposed within the outer conduit. At least one fin is included in the inner conduit for deflecting a portion of the escaping gas through at least one hole that is provided in the inner conduit. The gas thus deflected passes into the area disposed between the outside of the inner conduit and the inside of the outer conduit where it produces a partial vacuum as it continues to travel in the same general direction out of the outer conduit. The partial vacuum draws ambient air into the outer conduit where at least one slow roll fin is present to agitate the ambient air being drawn therein. The agitated ambient air then encounters and mixes with the gas thus deflected and the remainder of the gas proceeding out of the inner conduit and into the outer conduit to produce a volatile mixture that exits from the outer conduit where it is ignited by an electrode which produces an electrical spark (or arc) intermediate the electrode and the outer conduit. The electrical arc is preferably generated by a solar powered source.
