Sir Humphry Davy, by Thomas Lawrence. Sir Humphry Davy, 1st Baronet, PRS, MRIA, FGS (17 December 1778 – 29 May 1829) was a British chemist and inventor from Cornwall[1] who invented the Davy lamp and a very early form of arc lamp. He is also remembered for isolating, by using electricity, several elements for the first time: potassium and sodium in 1807 and calcium, strontium, barium, magnesium and boron the following year, as well as for discovering the elemental nature of chlorine and iodine. Davy also studied the forces involved in these separations, inventing the new field of electrochemis

Davy is also credited to have been the first to discover clathrate hydrates in his lab. from the article ' BEGINNINGS AND FUTURE OF THE ARC-LAMP ' by S. M.
