Thanks for posting this. Great old footage.

I would like to find out more about the polymerization of the acetylene gas, and if it had any use.

[@Obladgolated]

When this film was made, 1894 was only 37 years ago. I wonder how they made that nice molybdenum grid.

[@Deadpool-rw1pk]

Good explanation sir.

[@kusi-kusina5148]

Explained by none other than the man himself

[@PacificN.W.]

How did they determine in advance that acetylene would not act as the flammable and sometimes explosive gas that it is under their experimental conditions?

[@PacificN.W.]

Answer to the question as to how do you proceed with an explosive acetylene gas/cathode ray bombardment experiment? Ans. From another room. 😂
