A device used in the 19th century to carbonate water or other liquids, creating fizzy drinks at home.
From French 'gazogène,' combining 'gaz' (gas) and Greek '-gène' (producer or generator), literally meaning 'gas producer.' It was a Victorian-era gadget for making soda water.
Before electricity and factories, Victorians used gazogenes to make their own fizzy drinks—they were the original home soda makers, and some are now collectible antiques!
