35 x 25.6 cm (13 3/4 x 10 1/16 in.)
Description:
This apparatus (which could also be called a reaction vessel) consists of a cylindrical glass jar. Its bottom is not flat but rather molded in the shape of an inverted paraboloid. A second part is secured in place (somewhat loosely) owing to a screw and thread plumbing pipe connector. On that latter part, two rubber tubes are fixed: one to let liquids in and one to let gas out.
