<h2>Gustaf Dalén and Chalmers </h2>
Gustaf Dalén came to Chalmers on 1 September 1892, aged 23. He went to what was called Chalmers Lower and was a diligent student. He was often seen at the then Chalmerist's inn Kafé Blå Bandet where he played chess. A year later, he graduated and was one of the few admitted to higher education at Chalmers. He showed great interest in physics and constantly subjected his professor Wijkander to difficult questions. On June 10, 1896, Gustaf graduated from Chalmers. Borrowing money for further studies, he traveled to the Polytechnicum in Zurich, the leading technical institution of the time, and studied there for three semesters. Gustaf moved to Stockholm in 1901. However, he maintained contact with Chalmers. Among other things, he donated a large part of the Nobel Prize to further scholarships for talented students. 
<h2>Gustaf Dalén received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1912 </h2>
Gustaf received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1912 for the Agafyren, which was not powered by electricity but by acetylene gas. A small flame burned around the clock and during the day with minimal consumption by throttling the supply with a solvent. The technology was also used for railway signals. Other significant inventions are the gas stove, cinema lights, nitrous oxide equipment and equipment for anesthesia.
