   A propane torch is a tool normally used for the application of flame or heat which uses propane, a hydrocarbon gas, for its fuel and ambient air as its combustion medium. Propane is one of a group of by-products of the natural gas and petroleum industries known as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

5. Butane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butane

   Butane (/ ˈ b juː t eɪ n /) is an alkane with the formula C 4 H 10. Butane exists as two isomers, n-butane with connectivity CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3 and iso-butane with the formula (CH 3) 3 CH. Both isomers are highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gases that quickly vaporize at room temperature and pressure.

6. Lighter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighter

   The gas jet in butane lighters mixes air and gas by using Bernoulli's principle, requiring air holes in that are much smaller and further from the flame. [citation needed] Specialized "windproof" butane lighters are manufactured for demanding conditions such as shipboard, high altitude, and wet climates.
