HUMPHREY DAVY AND HIS LAMP

Humphrey Davy may not be the most famous scientist
and inventor in history but his work was very important.
As a chemist, he discovered several elements including
potassium, sodium and calcium.

However, important as these discoveries were, he is
remembered more for his Davy Lamp. Before 1815,
miners took candles underground with them when they
were working.

1

There were no batteries or light bulbs

at that time but Davy found a way to improve safety. It
was a simple idea.

2

This was similar to what people

now put on windows in the summer to allow air in but
keep flies out. With Davy’s lamp, air could get in to keep
the flame lit but the flame couldn’t escape and cause an
explosion.

That was impressive enough but the lamp did more. If there
were dangerous gases in the air, the flame burned higher.

3

In addition, miners could test the air for  poisonous

gases. Air normally contains about 22% oxygen. When
oxygen levels dropped below 17%, the lamps went out.
Miners could still breathe at that level of oxygen and
might not realise that anything was wrong. The lamp gave
them an early warning of danger and allowed them to
escape before they were overcome by carbon dioxide.

Unfortunately, greed prevented the lamps from saving
as many lives as they could.

4

It was now possible

to spend less on fans as there were fewer explosions.
This meant that the air the miners were breathing was
actually less healthy than it had been before. The lamps
were also easily damaged which meant that, with the poor
ventilation, explosions were almost as frequent as they
had been. Another problem was that the lamps weren’t as
bright as bare candles.

5

Despite its faults, the Davy Lamp, along with other similar
lamps which appeared at the same time, did help to
reduce mining accidents although they stayed at very
high levels until electric lamps started to appear in the
late nineteenth century.

A

This made working more difficult.

B

Tests showed that the lamps were safe.

C

These often caused explosions because of dangerous
gases in the mines.

D

It also had a blue colour.

E

They allowed mine owners to cut costs.

F

He put the candle into a lamp and fitted a net around it.

G

Some people argued against their introduction because
of this.
