Sir Humphrey Davy
Davy was now considered one of Britain’s leading scientists and was knighted in 1812. In 1813, Davy set off on a two year trip to Europe. He visited Paris – even though Britain and France were at war – where he collected a medal awarded to him by Napoleon, and identified the element iodine for the first time.
In 1815, he received a letter from some Newcastle miners which told of the dangers they faced from methane gas. The gas often filled the mines, and could be sparked off by the candles they had in their helmets to light their work. The resulting fires and explosions caused many deaths. Davy separated the flame from the gas, and his ‘Davy’ lamp later became widely used. The same year George Stephenson, the railway engineer, also invented a safety lamp.
Davy was made a baronet in 1818 and from 1820 – 1827 was president of the Royal Society. He died on 29 May 1829 in Switzerland. His assistant, Michael Faraday, went on to establish an even more prestigious reputation than Davy.
