Robert Hare, 1781-1858. Professor of chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. At the age of twenty years he invented the oxy-hydrogen, or compound, blowpipe, with which he fused and volatilized platinum and other refractory substances. He was most ingenious in devising chemical apparatus. 

Nineteenth Century Robert Hare fuses platinum. Two years later he volatilizes it. Del Rio recognizes the presence of a new metal erythronium (vanadium) in a lead ore from Zimapan, Mexico. He afterward confuses it with chromium.

In 1822, Dr. Robert Hare developed the first hot-wire ignitor for black powder, shown in Figure 24.6. The ignition mix in this device is believed to be potassium chlorate/metallic arsenic/sulfur. The bridgewire was a single strand of fine wire separated out from a multistrand cable.

Appropriate manipulations of the tricycle (152a) resulting from transannulation of humulene-4,5-epoxide permitted Roberts and Shirahama and their respective collaborators to access africanol (154) and 8-oxysenoxyn-4-en-3-one (157). Shirahama etalP have also described the in vitro conversion of africanol (154) to dactylol (158), found in the sea hare Aplsysia dactyloma, via the novel and unusual cyclopropane-sliding reaction, summarized in Scheme 19. 

The idea of blasting by a torpedo in the bottom of an oil-well, to open crevices and increase the flow of oil, seems to have been entertained by a number of persons, including Professor Hare, but was reduced to practice by Colonel Roberts. See Torpedo.
