Pranam Main ingredient is P4 S3 Phosphorus Sesquisulfide. Known since 1669. Barite stones 1604 was the origin BaSo4. 1 "Brand" was a Hamburg alchemist who discovered phosphorus <https://www.thoughtco.com/phosphorus-facts-606574> during his attempts to turn base metals <https://www.thoughtco.com/base-metal-definition-and-examples-608464> into gold <https://www.thoughtco.com/gold-facts-606539>. He allowed a vat of urine <https://www.thoughtco.com/the-chemical-composition-of-urine-603883> to stand until it was putrefied. He boiled the resulting liquid down to a paste, which he heated to a high temperature, so that the vapors could be drawn into water and condensed into... gold. Brand didn't get gold, but he did obtain a waxy white substance that glowed in the dark. This was phosphorus, one of the first elements to be isolated <https://www.thoughtco.com/element-discovery-timeline-606607> other than those which exist free in nature. Evaporating urine produced ammonium sodium hydrogen phosphate (microcosmic salt), which yielded sodium phosphite upon heating. When heated with carbon (charcoal <https://www.thoughtco.com/how-does-activated-charcoal-work-604294>) this decomposed into white phosphorus and sodium pyrophosphate: (NH4)NaHPO4 —› NaPO3 + NH3 + H2O; 8NaPO3 + 10C —› 2Na4P2O7 + 10CO + P4 Although Brand tried to keep his process a secret, he sold his discovery to a German chemist, Krafft, who exhibited phosphorus throughout Europe. Word leaked out that the substance was made from urine, which was all Kunckel and Boyle needed to work out their own means of purifying phosphorus. 2 Butane lighters have largely replaced matches in many part of the world, however matches are still made and used. The Diamond Match Company, for example, makes more than 12 billion matches a year. Approximately 500 billion matches are used annually in the United States.
An alternative to chemical matches is fire steel. Fire steel uses a striker and magnesium metal to produce sparks which may be used to start a fire. 3 Then is it correct to say that fire can be obtained only from chikki mukki stone on scratching?. No the opening of the multiverses were from the frictions -first science introduced- where chemicals caused the fire. So stones were used as frictional forces. The burst of earth burning suddenly were termed as Ghosts and Koli-voy-pissu. However Arundahati was spotted as glowing with the naked eyes by our ancient Rishis. 4 Water is a friend of Phosphor but not the dryness of heat agni. Still Virudhunagar and Sivakasi, a dry earth was marked as manufacturers of match sticks. And the best businessmen next to Guj are them. 99% of the industry was started with borrowed capital as they were frightened that in those days that the factory was lost in fire their capital would vanish. Fathers used to advise sons to start from other money and become rich rather than own capital. Ofcourse modern days are different. 5 The principle of the Matches is that headweight would burn fast. Tails of slender thoughts would sustain.
