Frédéric Albert Winsor is a German inventor, one of the pioneers of gas lighting in the United Kingdom and France.

The first achievements, the passage of the Panoramas, the lighting of the Luxembourg and the surroundings of the Odéon arouse in the Parisian population as much approval as disapproval, enthusiasm as fear, particularly regarding the risk of the gas holders exploding . The publication of this work (which is partially the translation into French of Accum's work) supports the commercial development of gas lighting.

In 1821, he was commissioned by the French administration to define a practical method for accurately measuring the alcohol concentration of drinks. Gay-Lussac is developing a hydrometer graduated on the volumetric alcohol concentration. This gives the Gay-Lussac degree which corresponds to the percentage of alcohol in the wine for example. The law of 1824 on the taxation of alcoholic beverages uses his work. With Collardeau, a former student of the École Polytechnique, he became a manufacturer of scientific instruments and marketed his alcoholometer in 1830.
