Bunsen
Chemist's gas flame
A Bunsen burner is a gas burner used in laboratories, producing a hot, clean flame adjustable by controlling air intake.
Named for German chemist Robert Bunsen, though he improved rather than invented it.
The flame's color indicates combustion efficiency—blue when air mixture is optimal, yellow when starved of oxygen.
Every chemistry student learns to light a Bunsen burner.
