Description: | Round metal base with metal gas tap at right angles to the base. The tap has a handle for controlling how much gas is let in. Brass rod stands on the base, with a very small hole in the top for the flame. Inscription on the rod reads UNIV ABDN NAT PHIL. Used to demonstrate 'sensitive flames' that alter their height in response to high frequency acoustic noise. Worked well on old fashioned 'town gas' but doesn't work on North Sea gas. | License: | http://www.abdn.ac.uk/historic/Copyright_terms_conditions.shtml | Publisher: | ABDNP University of Aberdeen, Natural Philosophy Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments | Rights holder: | 47718 | Temporal: | 1880-1910 | Source: | University of Aberdeen | Identifier: | http://calms.abdn.ac.uk/Geology/dserve.e... | Go to resource |
