1801, is an instrument in which oxygen and hydrogen,
taken from separate reservoirs, in the proportions of
two volumes of hydrogen to one of oxygen, are burned in
a jet, under pressure. It gives a heat that will
consume the diamond, fuse platinum, and dissipate in
vapor, or in gaseous forms, most known substances.
