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

Pete Ebbink dug up an old picture of Axel Peterson and his Ballard rifle...Notice the cue-ball palmrest...

Just another innovation by The Master...

What do you think made the electricity?

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

Captain Nemo was producing electricity with electrochemical batteries.

Thanks,
but as an aside- is there another kind of battery?

Forgotten Weapons has a video posted about the Peterson modified .22 Luger...

http://www.forgottenweapons.com/axel...james-d-julia/

I can't view it but maybe somebody who can will post their impressions...

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

sheepherder · 03-21-2017, 09:44 AM

Just to gratify future generations, here is the pistol...

I've lightened the pics a bit to better see details...

cirelaw · 03-21-2017, 09:53 AM

The oldest battery~ http://gizmodo.com/the-first-ever-battery-1521247211

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

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

Ron Wood · 03-21-2017, 01:01 PM

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.

You got me there, as an electrician I'm a great plumber.

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.
