Bunsen burner
Chemistry class heater
A Bunsen burner is a small laboratory gas burner that produces a single adjustable flame.
The air intake can be regulated to control the flame's temperature and color—a blue flame burns hotter than a yellow one.
It's standard equipment in chemistry labs for heating substances: We lit the Bunsen burners and began the experiment.
