This generator furnishes current to an electrolyzer which turns water into hydrogen and oxygen under pressure. The excess hydrogen and all the oxygen are stored in steel tanks...

...chloroform or benzol poisoning, a certain toxic factor is developed in the blood which upsets the heart's regular timing. From two first stages of disorganization the heart can ordinarily recover. But if something mental or physical excites the accelerator nerve or stimulates the adrenals to pour an excess of adrenalin into the blood, the ventricles begin to fibrillate. And shortly the heart tires and stops...
