Rockin’ Patent: US Patent No. 164,458
Filed: 24 December 1874
In the name of: Georges Eugène Frédéric Kastner (inventor)
Title: Improvement In Pyrophones
What’s claimed: ”A musical instrument, composed of a tube, A, and of two or more burners, arranged therein, one or more of said burners being movable, substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and described.”
Why this patent rocks: This appears to be one of the patents that relate to Georges Frédéric Eugène Kastner’s ‘pyrophone’ musical instrument that combines fire and sound; musical sounds are produced by the vibration of flames of hydrogen gas with glass or other tubes. Other names for the instrument include ‘fire organ’ or ‘explosion organ’. For a detailed take on the pyrophone, see here.
