Simultaneously with Davy, George Stephenson, afterwards the famous locomotive engineer but then an obscure man, began to experiment, and devised a lamp in which a candle or oil lamp was enclosed in a lantern, and air admitted below through holes in a metal plate which could be partly closed by moveable discs. Stephenson says his first lamp was tried on 21 October 1815, when it was carried with safety (apparently it went out) a modified lamp was tried on 4 November and burnt better, a third on 24 November. He does not explain the principle, but the Report (iSiy) says he concluded in August, first, that the gas, produced by combustion in a Lamp, would prevent the communication of any explosion through the chimney of the Lamp upwards and secondly, that if the Lamp was supplied with air from a tube below, that tube would prevent the communication of any explosion downwards. He calls firedamp hydrogen gas .

Also in 1815, but before Davy presented his first lamp to the public, George Stephenson (one of the pioneers in the development of the steam locomotive) quite independently was also working on a safe miner s lamp. He discovered during his experiments that flame produced by a particular gas at a given concentration will not pass through a tube smaller than a certain diameter. While most people have heard of Davy s lamp (it seems that Sir Humphrey received all the credit), it was actually Stephenson s discov-... 

The Voltaie battery eoneeived and built toward the end of 1799 in Como, was the first deviee to produee a steady flow of eleetrieity, or eleetrie eurrent. The instrument enabled other natural philosophers, notably Humphry Davy, to develop eleetroehemistry as a new braneh of seienee, and still others, notably Hans Christian Oersted and Georg Simon Ohm, to explore eleetromagnetism. Beeause of these later developments—showing that ehemieal, eleetrieal...

Meyers, A. I. Knaus, G. Kamata, K. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1974, 96, 268. While Albert I. Meyers was an assistant professor at Wayne State University, neighboring pharmaceutical firm Parke-Davis (Drs. George Moersch and Harry Crooks) donated several kilograms of (IS, 2S)-(+)-2-amino-l-phenyl-1,3-propanediol (Meyers referred to it as the Parke-Davis diol), from which his chemistry with chiral oxazolines began. Meyers is currently Professor Emeritus at Colorado State University.
