Vintage chemistry engraving - Producing oxyhydrogen, the detonating gas. The external cylinder was filled with acidulated water (H2SO4). In the internal cylinder the current flowing through the platinum electrodes dissociated the surrounding water in hydrogen and oxygen, that were collected together by the tiny pipe and run through three ampoules. The stoichiometric ratio was guaranteed as both gas came from the same amount of water and by exploding would regenerate it exactly.
