That would be the Disney Nautilus. The original one from Jules Verne was "rivets and electricity". :rolleyes:

You made me go look up for my copy of 20000 leagues. :D

Captain Nemo was producing electricity with electrochemical batteries.

A capacitor!
No use of chemestry and it still stores and releases electricity.

To get back to the Peterson Luger, I am impressed by the proportion of barrel to barrel extension...It just looks right... :thumbup:

However, I can't quite figure out how the trigger connects to the hammer...There doesn't seem to be any Luger sear bar... :confused:

Doesn't use a Luger sear bar. The trigger/hammer linkage is all custom lockwork internal to the frame.

A capacitor stores electricity, it does Not make electricity!

A battery converts chemical "energy" into electricity- they are in no way similar.

Here's a video discussing this pistol and its history:

Edit: The video is also in the auction listing; I didn't notice it originally. In any case, here it is for future reference.
