   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_light

   In natural gas furnaces, water heaters, and room heating systems, a safety cut-off switch is normally included so that the gas supply to the pilot and heating system is shut off by an electrically operated valve if the pilot light goes out. This cut-off switch usually detects the pilot light in one of several ways: A flame rectification device. [2]

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air_gas

   Depending on the age of the system, forced-air gas furnaces use either a pilot light or a solid-state ignition system (spark or hot surface ignition) to light the natural gas burner. [3] The natural gas is fed to buildings from a main gas line.

5. Thermostat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

   As illustrated in the use of the thermostat above, all of the power for the control system is provided by a thermopile which is a combination of many stacked thermocouples, heated by the pilot light. The thermopile produces sufficient electrical power to drive a low-power gas valve, which under control of one or more thermostat switches, in ...

6. Thermocouple - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocouple

   Some combined main burner and pilot gas valves (mainly by Honeywell) reduce the power demand to within the range of a single universal thermocouple heated by a pilot (25 mV open circuit falling by half with the coil connected to a 10–12 mV, 0.2–0.25 A source, typically) by sizing the coil to be able to hold the valve open against a light ...
