Kipp Gas Generator
notes: label: Description
content: Petrus Jacobus Kipp (1808–1864) was a Dutch pharmacist who, in 1844, published designs for two simple gas generators that were blown for him by the master German glassblower Heinrich Geissler (1814–1879). The second of the two became the Kipp gas generator. His company, Kipp & Zonen, is still in business today, selling solar and scientific instruments.
