Among the many contenders for the title of "Father of Modern Chemistry" is Robert Boyle (January 25, 1627 - December 30, 1691). Boyle was the first prominent scientist to perform controlled experiments and to publish his work with elaborate details concerning procedure, apparatus and observations. He assembled what we would today call a "research group", developed a key piece of apparatus - the vacuum pump, was instrumental in founding the Royal Society, and deserves at least partial credit for the famous gas law which bears his name.
Boyle's law (sometimes referred to as the Boyle-Mariotte law) is one of several gas laws and a special case of the ideal gas law. Boyle's law describes the inversely proportional relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas, if the temperature is kept constant within a closed system. The law was named after chemist and physicist Robert Boyle, who published the original law in 1662.
Boyle made a number of contributions but he's most commonly most remembered for his contribution to the kinetic model of gases with "his" law (which states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume).
Etienne Lenior invented the gas engine in the year of 1860. It's funny a 12 year old was the only one to answer this question.

== == From Wikipedia (see link below):Robert Boyle (25 January 1627 - 30 December 1691) was an Anglo-Irish natural philosopher, chemist, physicist, inventor, and early gentleman scientist, noted for his work in physics and chemistry. He is best known for the formulation of Boyle's law. Although his research and personal philosophy clearly has its roots in the alchemical tradition, he is largely regarded today as the first modern chemist. He is very famous in the science world for being the first scientist that kept accurate experiment logs. Among his works, The Sceptical Chymist (yes, there are some spelling mistakes) is seen as a cornerstone book in the field of chemistry.
Boyle, Robert (1627-92) Irish scientist. Born the fourteenth son of the first earl of Cork, Boyle was able to pursue an independent life devoted to scientific and academic matters. He was the most important British chemist of his time, whose work on gases is remembered in Boyle's law. He was an important figure in the 17th-century rejection of Aristotelian emphases on final causes, believing that all the properties of materials can be explained by the size, shape, and motion of particles, and the textures to which their associations give rise. His major work was The Sceptical Chemist (1661), but he wrote widely not only on chemical but on philosophical and theological matters. His General History of the Air was published in 1692. His conception of the qualities of things, and the division between primary and secondary qualities, was a major influence on http://www.answers.com/topic/john-locke. i think that's what you're looking for? boyle itself is not a word x
he invented a gas burner.
Robert Boyle studied elasticity gases and volume of the gas. He was a scientist.

Robert Boyle is credited for the discovery of the gas law, now called the Boyle-Mariotte law:pressure x volume = constant, in a closed system at constant temperature.

Boyle's law, which states that the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature, can be found in any high school physics text book, in a dictionary or encyclopedia, or any number of sites found using a search engine. If you are asking where the concept is, that's a rather tricker question. What we know as Boyle's law is an abstract idea that only exists within the human mind. Unless you are a philosophy student, however, I'm sure you're most interested in the first sentence of this answer.

Boyle was one of the scientists who founded the Royal Society. In science, he was the first to separate gas as a pure substance from its compound forms.
