  SHiPS Resource Center || Bunsen
He is famed chiefly for the burner named after him, though others had already invented rather similar apparatus for using coal-gas as a laboratory heating agent.
His first sustained research programme concerned the substance cacodyl (now named tetra-methyldiarsine), which seemed to persist in a number of its compounds (oxide, chloride, cyanide) and thus offered the beleaguered followers of Berzelius new "evidence" for the existence of the radicals he had proposed as part of his dualistic system.
After this, Bunsen had little to do with organic chemistry, partly because he had little patience with detailed theoretical schemes which were inevitably a part of this growing new subject.

 Bunsen burner Summary
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.
However, the bunsen burner still heats things much more quickly than a hot plate and is still useful in sterilization (especially in sterilizing the wire probes used to culture petri dishes) and in flame tests.

After 1998, when the U.N. inspectors were kicked out of the country, we essentially went dark and we relied on, as we’ve now learned, defectors to give us a lot of the information that we have post-’98, and a lot of that information was wrong.

And whatever you think of the leaders, think of the kids recruited out of college and the middle-level people who serve— oh-oh, somebody is going to be in big trouble— [laughter]--who serve in unbelievably awful places and are in danger all the time and leave their families behind.

There is a misconception that the inventor is Robert Wilhelm Bunsen but it is only named after him, whose laboratory assistant, Peter Desdega, in 1855 perfected an earlier design by Michael Faraday.
It is most common for the burner today to run on natural gas, or alternatively Liquified petroleum gas such as propane or butane or a mixture of both.
If the holes are closed, the gas will mix with oxygen in the atmosphere at the point of combustion (that is, only after it has exited the tube at the top), and so it will burn less efficiently, producing a cooler flame (appearing yellow).
