Davy was also famous for discovering calcium, magnesium, strontium, barium, and Boron in 1808 and identifying Scheele's "muriatic acid air" as the new element Chlorine in 1810. Davy created a new form of "Davy" lamp utilising a wire gauze that prevents methane from entering the lamp and combusting. Davy was knighted for his services to the empire in 1812.
