The sparks created by striking steel against a piece of flint provide the activation energy to initiate combustion in this Bunsen burner.The blue flame sustains itself after the sparks stop because the continued combustion of the flame is now energetically favorable.
The fishtail burner was similar to the flat burner, but it produced a brighter flame and conducted less heat. The last burner that was experimented with was the Welsbach burner. Around this time the Bunsen burner was in use along with some forms of electricity. The Welsbach was based on the idea of the Bunsen burner, still using gas.
For this work, Bunsen and his laboratory assistant, Peter Desaga, had perfected a special gas burner by 1855, which was influenced by earlier models. The newer design of Bunsen and Desaga, which provided a very hot and clean flame, is now called simply the "Bunsen burner", a common laboratory equipment. [16] [17]
The Teclu burner vs. the Amal burner: The Amal burner is a burner created by the modification of the Bunsen and Teclu burner. The Amal burner was marketed by Messrs. Amal Ltd., of Birmingham. In this burner, a needle valve is inserted in the orifice of the jet to sensitively control the gas flow into the burner by an external screw.
