Two insulated wires are let into thebulb, by means of which, on attaching them to an induction coil, wecan explode the gases by the electric spark. The instant the explosiontakes place, a corresponding vaporisation of liquid air follows, andfrom its amount as shown in the receiver we can determine theheat of combination of oxygen and hydrogen. In a similar mannerthe heat of the electric spark itself can be determined. Two finewires, each passing through a fine glass tube, are passed down intothe calorimeter until their ends are below the liquid surface, or theymay be connected to a small sparking tube immersed in the liquidair. On attaching them to the induction coil and making contact,a spark passes in the liquid, or in the gl
