Note: Gas is often used adjectively or in combination; as,                gas fitter or gasfitter; gas meter or gas-meter, etc.          {Air gas} (Chem.), a kind of gas made by forcing air through             some volatile hydrocarbon, as the lighter petroleums. The             air is so saturated with combustible vapor as to be a             convenient illuminating and heating agent.          {Gas battery} (Elec.), a form of voltaic battery, in which             gases, especially hydrogen and oxygen, are the active             agents.          {Gas carbon}, {Gas coke}, etc. See under {Carbon}, {Coke},             etc.          {Gas coal}, a bituminous or hydrogenous coal yielding a high             percentage of volatile matters, and therefore available             for the manufacture of illuminating gas. --R. W. Raymond.          {Gas engine}, an engine in which the motion of the piston is             produced by the combustion or sudden production or             expansion of gas; -- especially, an engine in which an             explosive mixture of gas and air is forced into the             working cylinder and ignited there by a gas flame or an             electric spark.
