Bunsen Burner Day 2026
March 31, 2026 in the World
Bunsen Burner Day takes place on March 31, 2026. The holiday commemorates the birthday of the inventor of the Bunsen burner: chemist Robert Wilhelm Eberhard von Bunsen was born on March 31, 1811. A Bunsen burner is a common piece of laboratory equipment that produces a single open gas flame, which is used for heating, sterilization, and combustion. The gas can be natural gas (which is mainly methane) or a liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane, butane, or a mixture of both.
Bunsen Burner Day is celebrated in different ways. Some even compose songs with lyrics such as: "Just one spark is all that's needed / To start this show of sweet combustion. / That's its penultimate function. / Just one light to wake my blue angel of fire. Bunsen burner / It's the flame that never dies. / My bunsen Burner / You light up the sky in my lab" (by Blegen/Hallock/Roper). (With material from: Wikipedia)
