It was 1820, and David, an English chemist, did an experiment in which platinum was wetted with alcohol and then ignited. He found that the alcohol was burning so hard that it made the platinum hot and gave off a very bright light. So David made a platinum wire alcohol lamp and used it to light it. This lamp has been in vogue in Europe for many years.
Platinum is hot because it catalyses the oxidation of alcohol, making it burn more intensely on its own surface. A toy lighter was also made from the properties of platinum: a thin platinum wire was placed in the lid of an alcohol container. As long as the cap is opened and the platinum wire is placed at the top of the bottle, the alcohol reacts with oxygen on the surface of the platinum wire. After a while, the heat of the reaction ignites the alcohol vapor, making it a "spontaneous fire" that does not ignite spontaneously.
So someone designed a metal stove that was flat and sleek and could be carried to the chest. This stove neither outfit red coal or charcoal burner, only alcohol and platinum loading, alcohol on the human body temperature slowly volatilize, alcohol vapor in oxidation when it passed with platinum powder of asbestos and fever, enable people to achieve the purpose of heating. People call it a platinum furnace.
Many technologically advanced countries have now converted it into a "flameless burner". They put propane (liquefied petroleum gas) to 0.01-1 atmosphere of pressure ventilation with a fluorescent lamps sample device, the device of the platinum wire, propane in contact with air oxidation heat (fire) didn't happen. It provides quiet heating without producing gas, making it an ideal source of heat for a chicken house.
