	Jan Baptist van Helmont - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jan Baptist van Helmont (1577 - December 30, 1644) was a Flemish chemist, physiologist and physician.
		Born into a noble family in Brussels, he was educated at Leuven, and after ranging restlessly from one science to another and finding satisfaction in none, turned to medicine, in which he took his doctor's degree in 1599.
		In addition to the archeas, which he described as "aura vitalis seminum, vitae directrix," Van Helmont had other governing agencies resembling the archeus and not always clearly distinguished from it.

	Helmont, Jan Baptist van
		Helmont was the first to realize that there are gases other than air, and established the present scientific sense of the word ‘gas’ (from Greek cháos).
		Helmont identified four gases: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, and methane.
		He was the first to take the melting point of ice and the boiling point of water as standards for temperature and the first to use the term ‘saturation’ to signify the combination of an acid and a base.

	The Alchemical Fire
		The word electricity entered the English tongue in a 1650 translation of a treatise on the healing properties of magnets by Jan Baptist van Helmont, a Flemish physician and Rosicrucian who worked on the borderline between natural magic and modern chemistry.
		Though Helmont abandoned the hoary doctrines of the four elements, he remained spiritually committed to the alchemy of "pyrotechnia," the Paracelsan labor of the forge.
		As an incorporeal force coaxed out of matter, the quicksilver spunk of electricity signified for many of Helmont's ilk the spiritual energies pregnant in the physical universe, the elixir of the World Soul, the spark of Creation.

		In the 17th century, the Flemish chemist Jan Baptist van Helmont observed that when he burned charcoal in a closed vessel, the mass of the resulting ash was much less than that of the original charcoal.
		His interpretation was that the rest of the charcoal had been transmuted into an invisible substance he termed a "gas" or "wild spirit" (spiritus sylvestre).
