The Flying Olympic Flame: a sustainable innovation for Paris 2024 💡 As the world gears up for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, one of the most exciting and innovative features is the introduction of the "flying Olympic flame." This unique design not only captures the spirit of the Games but also embodies a commitment to sustainability and artistic expression. With a visionary design, the 30-meter-tall flying Olympic flame, anchored in the Jardin des Tuileries by day, ascends at night to create a stunning visual spectacle visible across Paris. 🇫🇷 What is even more spectacular is that it utilizes an electric flame instead of traditional fossil fuels. This innovative approach employs a combination of LED lights and a mist of water vapor generated by high-pressure nozzles. The result is a captivating visual effect that mimics flickering flames without the need for combustion. 🔥 The energy required to operate the flying flame comes entirely from renewable sources, provided by EDF, the official energy partner of the Games.

For the first time in the history of the Games, the Olympic Flame shines without fuel. So, how does it burn you might ask? 🔥 The cauldron is a key showcase of the organizers’ ambition for a low-carbon Olympics cutting its emissions in half and the emissions of one of its main symbols. The design of the Paris 2024 Olympic flame is very different from previous games in that it is fueled by electricity rather than fossil fuels. The ring at the base of the balloon houses 40 LED lights. These lights illuminate a cloud of water vapor produced by 200 high-pressure misting sprinklers to give the flickering and smoke effect of real flames. A meticulous combination of a cloud of mist and beams of light, the Olympic Flame will flicker with electricity as its sole source of energy. It demonstrates the use of a newer technology to not produce too many emissions.  Paris organizing chief said: “We were ambitious and we wanted to bring together something spectacular and environmental responsibility at the same time.” And spectacular it was! Especially since it then proceeded to gently soar into the night sky. 🎈 #sustainability #innovation #Paris2024

🐉 Soaring into a Sustainable Future in the Year of the Dragon! 🌬️✨ With the recent end of the Lunar New Year's celebrations, we step into the Year of the Dragon. Since the German word for dragon is 'Drachen', which also means 'Kite', we at SkySails believe this as a sign that this year will be the year of Airborne Wind Energy! 🚀🌟 Just like the mighty dragon, our kite harnesses the power of the elements and elegantly glides through the air. See it in action in our video below. The Chinese Dragon is a symbol for good fortune, kindness and intelligence. 🌬️💡In this Year of the Dragon, we're tapping into the Dragon's strength and fortune as we continue our journey towards a sustainable future. Together, let's rise above challenges, break barriers, and make a lasting impact on the world. 🌏💫 #YearOfTheDragon #SkySails #AirborneWindEnergy #Höhenwindenergie #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability

The Olympic Games in France are a celebration of a global sporting event that brings us together. 🏅🏟️ Behind every performance and every light, there is a crucial question: how do we power these huge stadiums? During major events, a modern Olympic stadium can consume several megawatts (MW). This energy is used for lighting, audio-visual systems, heating, ventilation and air conditioning. At Moteurs Baudouin, we design power generation engines that are not only the main source of energy, but also an essential back-up solution to avoid any interruption during the competitions. #Olympics #OlympicsGames #Baudouin #Power #Energy #PowerGeneration

Since last Friday, the Olympic Games are in full motion 🏅 How about examining it through a #thermallens? The image on the left highlights 8 locations for different sports. The image on the right, a thermal snapshot from June 7th, 2024, illustrates heat distribution and its connection to urban planning, taken at 11 am. 🏢 Heat Spots & Urban Planning Notably, significant areas such as the Olympic Village and several arenas, which will host thousands of visitors, are situated in #hotspots. France's strategy to utilize 95% of existing or temporary infrastructure minimizes the need for new construction. 🌡️ Thermal Insights The thermal image shows temperatures ranging from 22 to 40°C, with an average air temperature of around 19°C at 11 am. This indicates potential discomfort for the public and athletes due to high thermal sensations. How is Paris facing this challenge? The approach involves the green building concept used to construct the Olympic Village. Utilizing water from the Seine River, this system cools all buildings associated with the event, offering an alternative to traditional air-conditioning and preventing energy overload during heat waves. #Olympics #thermalintelligence #urbanheatisland #Paris2024 *This LST30 heat map is derived from Landsat data
