=Generating.= Producing; manufacturing; bringing out of.
=Globules.= The small particles of liquids; or the molecules comprising fluids.
=Gravitation.= The force of the earth which causes all things to move toward it; the attraction of ma.s.s for ma.s.s.
=Heart Wheel.= A wheel having the outline of a heart.
=Helical.= A spirally-wound form.
=High Tension.= A term applied to a current of electricity, which has a very high voltage, but low amperage.

=Hydro-carbon.= A gas made from the vaporization of crude petroleum or of its distillates.
=Hydrogen.= One of the original elements. The lightest of all gases.
=Ignite.= To set on fire.
=Ignition.= The term applied to the firing of a charge of gas in a gas or gasoline engine.
=Impact.= A blow; a striking force.
=Impregnated.= To instill; to add to.
