A common misconception is that the Bunsen burner was invented by German chemist Robert Wilhelm Bunsen. Although it is named after him, it is actually an improvement made in 1855 by his laboratory assistant, Peter Desaga, on an earlier design by Michael Faraday. The improvement is called a Tirrel Burner. The main diffrences between these burners is the gas control valve on a Tirrel Burner and the improved structure of the Tirrel Burner. Most Bunsen burners are in fact Tirrel Burners.
