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

Famous quotes containing the word construction:
“No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“There’s no art
To find the mind’s construction in the face.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“There’s no art
To find the mind’s construction in the face:
He was a gentleman on whom I built
An absolute trust.”
