After Philippe Lebon created the so-called "thermolampe" in 1801, he quickly exhibited it in Paris. Georgiana had even seen it at an industrial exhibition, where Fresnel had made a more efficient lens than before, using a lamp supplied by Philippe Lebon.
However, his invention received little attention, because everyone at the time was keen on designing lamps with a more "Egyptian style." It was the German Windsor who discovered him instead.
Not every brewer was good at sales. Watt and Felton were such partners, but as Birmingham gradually became the "holy land" of the Industrial Revolution and attracted countless talents, the Soho Company drew in too much brilliance like a Deluminator.
And as one could imagine, once the lighting system was laid across the country, it would be like Watt's steam engine—everyone using a Watt steam engine would have to pay him a licensing fee.
Through Windsor's lobbying, Parliament approved his patent. Yet people soon discovered the connection between Windsor and Philippe Lebon, because he had attended the industrial exposition held in Paris.
After examining the pictures closely, Georgiana felt that Philippe Lebon's invention could not really be considered the same thing as the gas lamps used by the British.
Philippe Lebon chopped wood into chips and threw them into a red box shaped like half a beehive, then heated it with charcoal fire for what he called "distillation."
