Construction
The jar, about 20″×12.5″ is made up of a metal. Its parts are as follows:
- The body made up of metal (airtight)
- The lid, also metal can be placed in an airtight fashion
- A screw going through a curved metal strip to secure and hold the lid in place
- A thermometer to measuring the internal temperature
- A pressure gauge to measuring the internal pressure (or a side tube is attached to a manometer)
- Another side tube for evacuation and introduction of gases (to a gas cylinder or a vacuum pump)
- A wire cage hanging from the lid to hold a catalyst that makes hydrogen react to oxygen without the need of any ignition source
