Abū ʿAbdallāh al-Khwārazmī in ''Mafātīḥ al''-''ʿUlūm'' (“Keys to the Sciences”) ca. 976&nbsp;AD mentions the ''bāb al-midfa'' and the ''bāb al-mustaq'' which he said were parts of naphtha-throwers and projectors (''al-naffātāt wa al-zarāqāt''). Book of Ingenious Mechanical Device (''Kitāb fī ma 'rifat al-ḥiyal al-handasiyya'') of 1206 by [[Ibn al-Razzaz al-Jazari]] mentioned about ejectors of naphtha (''zarāqāt al-naft'').<ref>{{Cite book|last=Needham|first=Joseph|title=Science and Civilisation in China, Volume 5: Chemistry and Chemical Technology, Part 7, Military Technology: The Gunpowder Epic|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=1986|location=Cambridge}}</ref>{{Rp|582}}
