The Fascinating History of Carbide Lamps
5 hours ago
9
The carbide lamp, also known as an acetylene gas lamp, was invented in the late 19th century. It operates by the reaction of calcium carbide with water to produce acetylene gas, which is then ignited to produce a bright, consistent flame. This invention revolutionized lighting for miners, cavers, and outdoor enthusiasts due to its portability, durability, and ability to provide a steady light source. Carbide lamps were widely used before the advent of electric lighting, and their impact was significant in various fields requiring reliable illumination.
