The Revd Dr Robert Gray of <a href="/wiki/Bishopwearmouth" title="Bishopwearmouth">Bishopwearmouth</a> in Sunderland, founder of the Society for Preventing Accidents in Coalmines, had written to Davy suggesting that he might use his 'extensive stores of chemical knowledge' to address the issue of mining explosions caused by <a href="/wiki/Firedamp" title="Firedamp">firedamp</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Methane" title="Methane">methane</a> mixed with oxygen, which was often ignited by the open flames of the lamps then used by miners. Incidents such as the <a href="/wiki/Felling_mine_disaster" class="mw-redirect" title="Felling mine disaster">Felling mine disaster</a> of 1812 near <a href="/wiki/Newcastle_upon_Tyne" title="Newcastle upon Tyne">Newcastle</a>, in which 92 men were killed, not only caused great loss of life among miners but also meant that their widows and children had to be supported by the public purse. The Revd Gray and a fellow clergyman also working in a north-east mining area, the Revd John Hodgson of <a href="/wiki/Jarrow" title="Jarrow">Jarrow</a>, were keen that action should be taken to improve underground lighting and especially the lamps used by miners.<sup id="cite_ref-49" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-49"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Davy conceived of using an iron gauze to enclose a lamp's flame, and so prevent the methane burning inside the lamp from passing out to the general atmosphere. Although the idea of the <a href="/wiki/Safety_lamp" title="Safety lamp">safety lamp</a> had already been demonstrated by <a href="/wiki/William_Reid_Clanny" title="William Reid Clanny">William Reid Clanny</a> and by the then unknown (but later very famous) engineer <a href="/wiki/George_Stephenson" title="George Stephenson">George Stephenson</a>, Davy's use of <a href="/wiki/Wire_gauze" title="Wire gauze">wire gauze</a> to prevent the spread of flame was used by many other inventors in their later designs. George Stephenson's lamp was very popular in the north-east coalfields, and used the same principle of preventing the flame reaching the general atmosphere, but by different means.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHolmes2008364–73_50-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHolmes2008364–73-50"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>50<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Unfortunately, although the new design of gauze lamp initially did seem to offer protection, it gave much less light, and quickly deteriorated in the wet conditions of most pits. Rusting of the gauze quickly made the lamp unsafe, and the number of deaths from firedamp explosions rose yet further. </p><p>There was some discussion as to whether Davy had discovered the principles behind his lamp without the help of the work of <a href="/wiki/Smithson_Tennant" title="Smithson Tennant">Smithson Tennant</a>, but it was generally agreed that the work of the two men had been independent.

Fellows who thought royal patronage was important proposed Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg (later <a href="/wiki/Leopold_I_of_Belgium" title="Leopold I of Belgium">Leopold I of Belgium</a>), who also withdrew, as did the Whig <a href="/wiki/Edward_St_Maur,_11th_Duke_of_Somerset" title="Edward St Maur, 11th Duke of Somerset">Edward St Maur, 11th Duke of Somerset</a>. Davy was the outstanding scientist but some fellows did not approve of his popularising work at the Royal Institution. </p><p>Elections took place on St Andrew's Day and Davy was elected on 30 November 1820. Although he was unopposed, other candidates had received initial backing. These candidates embodied the factional difficulties that beset Davy's presidency and which eventually defeated him. The strongest alternative had been <a href="/wiki/William_Hyde_Wollaston" title="William Hyde Wollaston">William Hyde Wollaston</a>, who was supported by the "Cambridge Network" of outstanding mathematicians such as <a href="/wiki/Charles_Babbage" title="Charles Babbage">Charles Babbage</a> and <a href="/wiki/John_Herschel" title="John Herschel">John Herschel</a>, who tried to block Davy. They were aware that Davy supported some modernisation, but thought that he would not sufficiently encourage aspiring young mathematicians, astronomers and geologists, who were beginning to form specialist societies. Davy was only 41, and reformers were fearful of another long presidency. </p><p>In his early years Davy was optimistic about reconciling the reformers and the Banksians. In his first speech as president he declared, "I trust that, with these new societies, we shall always preserve the most amicable relations ... I am sure there is no desire in [the Royal Society] to exert anything like patriarchal authority in relation to these institutions".<sup id="cite_ref-61" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-61"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>61<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Protection_of_ships'_bottoms"><span id="Protection_of_ships.27_bottoms"></span>Protection of ships' bottoms</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Humphry_Davy&action=edit&section=38" title="Edit section: Protection of ships' bottoms"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:New_copper_sheathing_on_USS_Constitution_(1).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7c/New_copper_sheathing_on_USS_Constitution_%281%29.jpg/220px-New_copper_sheathing_on_USS_Constitution_%281%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="162" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7c/New_copper_sheathing_on_USS_Constitution_%281%29.jpg/330px-New_copper_sheathing_on_USS_Constitution_%281%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7c/New_copper_sheathing_on_USS_Constitution_%281%29.jpg/440px-New_copper_sheathing_on_USS_Constitution_%281%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="754" /></a><figcaption>New piece of <a href="/wiki/Copper_sheathing" title="Copper sheathing">copper sheathing</a> surrounded by old, corroded copper on <a href="/wiki/USS_Constitution" title="USS Constitution">USS <i>Constitution</i></a></figcaption></figure> <p>From 1761 onwards, copper plating had been fitted to the undersides of <a href="/wiki/Royal_Navy" title="Royal Navy">Royal Navy</a> ships to protect the wood from attack by <a href="/wiki/Shipworms" class="mw-redirect" title="Shipworms">shipworms</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Physis_62-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Physis-62"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>62<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, the copper bottoms were gradually corroded by exposure to the salt water.

This was compounded by a number of political errors. In 1825 his promotion of the new Zoological Society, of which he was a founding fellow, courted the landed gentry and alienated expert zoologists. He offended the mathematicians and reformers by failing to ensure that Babbage received one of the new Royal Medals (a project of his) or the vacant secretaryship of the Society in 1826. In 1826 Davy suffered a stroke from which he never fully recovered.

In spite of his ungainly exterior and peculiar manner, his happy gifts of exposition and illustration won him extraordinary popularity as a lecturer, his experiments were ingenious and rapidly performed, and Coleridge went to hear him "to increase his stock of metaphors." The dominating ambition of his life was to achieve fame; occasional petty jealousy did not diminish his concern for the "cause of humanity", to use a phrase often employed by him in connection with his invention of the miners' lamp.
