Experiments on Coal and Oil Gas by Dr Fyfe in Edinburgh
Dr Fyfe conducted experiments comparing coal and oil gas illuminating powers. He reported coal gas burns with a dull reddish flame while oil gas yields a bright white flame. Purity affects output. coal gas from Canongate showed 6.8 percent impurity, while oil gas varied by apparatus with higher purity yielding stronger light. He noted specific gravities and noted that oil gas can surpass coal gas in brightness under certain preparations.
