Edmond Carré
Edmond Carré (born January 22, 1833 in Moislains ; † May 7, 1894 ) was the manufacturer of the electric arc coals invented by his brother Ferdinand Carré .
He added a wick made of various calcium salts to the arc lamp coals when they were made; this should lengthen the arch, make the light stronger and pleasantly colored. The salts are mixed in powder form with rubber solution. Wilhelm Theodor Casselmann (1820–1872) tried this method for better utilization of light as early as 1844 and was not successful until Hugo Bremer in 1899.
He later built a refrigerator factory in Paris and invented an Air-Pump Sulphuric Acid Machine, which attracted attention at the Paris Exhibition in 1867 and was used to make caraffes frappees . He also dealt with the construction of regulators, electrostatic machines and won high awards at the exhibitions in 1878 and 1881.
