100-year-old electric motor charger on American Restoration

Got in on the tail-end of a recent episode of American Restoration and the guys had restored a 100-year-old electric car motor charger for a museum housing motorcar-related items. In spite of my best Internet searches, I couldn't find the item.

The charger was an interesting-looking contraption that had some sort of giant light-bulb attachment with a hand-cranked oscillator. In the "bulb" was a chemical that when agitated created an electrical charge.

If anyone can figure out what I'm talking about based on my inept description, all I can say is God bless you.

as always
