Vintage chemistry engraving - An easy way to obtain hydrogen at room temperature. Byts of zinc were put on the bottom of a bottle; an 1:8 sulphuric acid solution was poured through the primary neck thus binding the water oxygen as zinc oxide, and the resulting hydrogen was collected through the secondary neck and trapped in a water-filled cylinder closed on top and immersed in water.
