The nozzle was developed by Swedish inventor Gustaf de Laval in the 19th century.
A de Laval nozzle, then, functions by narrowing down to a "throat" at which point the gas flow is moving at the speed of sound, and then widening again to further accelerate the speed of the gas.

De Laval was demonstrating the work of this machine to some of his friends one day, when one of those present remarked that as an experiment it, was very interesting.
Within a, few weeks after making his first separator, De Laval had so improved his machine that it, would separate 35 gallons of milk.at a, time, but it was not until he made a machine thru which the milk flow was continuous that the invention was really a success.
Though De Laval was a great inventor in other fields as well as dairying and a tireless worker in his chosen field of engineering, it is said that he was a poor business man and throughout his whole life was never in good financial circumstances.

 History - Gustaf Dalén
Gustaf Dalén was AGA's most influential president and the inventor of epoch-making lighthouse technology products including the flashing apparatus, the sun valve, the AGA compound and the Dalén mixer.
He was not regarded as a talented scholar and although he was constantly inventing new gadgets, his teacher said "Gustaf is no use for anything." As a boy who found it difficult to get up in the mornings, Gustaf Dalén invented a "bed roller" which both made the coffee and switched on the light.
