He found no proof that ash, smoke, or flame were there before the wood was burned. .
(Salzberg p. 162) .
Boyle also did a lot of work with elements and figuring what things were elements and what things were not elements. He concluded that water was not an element. He also rejected fire as an element. (Salzberg p.164) He really did not know what an element was, but he did know what it was not. Robert once said, "I must not look upon anybody as a true principle or element which is not perfectly homogeneous but is further resolvable into any number of distinct substances." Boyle was not even sure if gold was an element, but he was sure that mercury was a compound and not an element. He was also sure that sulfur was just a compound and not an element. Robert never considered a chemical to be an element. (Salzberg pp.169-170) .
He worked a long time on trying to change one metal to another metal. Another experiment he did was to solve the problem of why metal would gain weight when placed in fire. He worked on this for a while. The answer he came up with was that the metal was absorbing the fire atoms causing their weight to increase. (Salzberg p.165) .
One problem with Boyle's experiments was that he never considered air to be involved as a gas, but he knew that air was corpuscular in nature. In the calcination experiment, he boiled water in a pot until it was gone then added more water. He did this several times. Afterwards, there was a substance at the bottom of the pot. Even though he did not consider air a gas, he published a book, The Springiness of Air and its Effects.(Salzberg p.165) .
Boyle also believed a lot of other scientific things, many of them contradicting well known scientists beliefs. He believed that prime matter was in the form of various corpuscles with own shape and size. Prima natural is another name for this theory. (Salzberg p.168).
Boyle's favorite science was the science of all the different materials in the world which was chemistry.
