Eudiometer
A eudiometer is used in chemical experiments. Apparently, it's a graduated glass tube which somehow causes an electric spark in its metallic terminals. Something to do with combining gases. I know that's hopeless, but so is my understanding of chemistry. The blogging chemists out there are welcome to provide a clearer description of the word than that. However, I think I'll stick with the invented meanings which were, in the main, much easier to understand. Stephen's invented meaning was a big favourite on the poll. Congrats, Stephen.
