It was first used in 1952
Before electric irons, people used to have an iron with a handle at the top. The iron was hollow and a hole at the back allowed the user to pour hot water in, so that the iron was heated up. Alternatively the iron was placed on top of a stove to heat up before being used - I remember my grandmother using both these methods in Ireland.
The machine was invented by Philip Drinker and Louis Agassiz ShawPhilip Drinker was an industrial hygiene who invented the first widely used iron lung in 1928 with Louis Agassiz Shaw.
i assume you mean first used. in 1927 at Bellevue hospital in NYC used by polio survivors..
Iron was used for thousands of years before aluminum. While aluminum is more abundant, it is not as easy to work with as iron.
Iron can be magnetized by exposing it to a magnetic field. This can be done by rubbing a magnet against the iron or by passing an electric current through the iron. Another method is to heat the iron to a high temperature and then cool it in the presence of a magnetic field. These methods align the magnetic domains within the iron, making it magnetic.
The Iron lung was essentially a pressure chamber in which the the pressure could be increased quite a lot over atmospheric pressure as a means of forcing the absorbed coal gas back out. Its other common use was in treating polio, and also divers with the 'bends'. +++ Coal-gas is poisonous by being chiefly Carbon Monoxide, which is fast acting as it binds much more readily than the intended oxygen to the blood's haemoglobin. --- Also, the "iron lung" formerly used to treat polio, is a very different device from the hyperbaric or recompression chamber used to treat the "bends". The iron-lung is a an artificial respirator, the recompression chamber is not. Instead, it is a vessel large enough to accommodate the casualty, and filled with air at the pressure of the dive, then released very slowly.
Run a magnet over the mixture. The iron particles will be attracted to the magnet and the magnet will leave behind the sand.

iron use has been dated from before christ. the Sumerians and Egyptians used Iron for small objects like spear point and jewelery.
