Abstract

A gas burner for cooking areas includes a lower part and an upper part. The upper part has gas repulsion ducts with gas outlet openings for gas flames. The upper part is rotatably mounted on the lower part by a compressed-air bearing configured to apply a compressed-air cushion to pneumatically lift the upper part off the lower part for allowing contactless turning of the upper part in relation to the lower part about an axis of rotation. The gas repulsion ducts are formed to drive the upper part in relation to the lower part about the axis of rotation by gas flowing through the gas repulsion ducts at positive pressure. Such a configuration makes it possible to evenly distribute the heat of the flames in the periphery of the burner and to minimize minimum gas burner output by using less flames.
