Among his inventions were the oxyhydrogen blowpipe, an electric furnace, and a deflagrator, and his research included work on salts. |
Dr. Hare invented instruments of such great power as well to deserve the names of calorimeter and deflagrator. |
The flashbulb, developed in the 1920s, is a transparent envelope filled with oxygen and a tangle of fine aluminum, magnesium, or zirconium wire ignitable by an electrically heated filament or, rarely, a chemical deflagrator. |
Robert Hare invented the deflagrator for the production of high levels of electric current. |
