Thanks for anyone who can tell me the name of this thing

Paste the link below in a new browser to see the hand-drawn image of it... It's so freakin hard to find out what something is called if you only have a mental picture of it:

EDIT: Btw, it's made of clear glass... you put liquid in it and then you can measure like the gas it puts off with the measurement tools in the left cyclinder thing....
 
It looks a bit like a glass barometer, but it probably isn't. Unless it is a very bad drawing, that is!
 
Heck, I work as a chemist and I couldn't tell you what I think that thing looks like.

Maybe some sort of round-bottom flask with a condensor tube on the side, but I do not understand why it would be graduated. Assuming those are marks denoting volume.
If it was for distillation it is missing like the other 75% of the apparatus needed.

Click to expand...

Well what we did was put yeast and different sugars in this device, mixed it up, and made it so the solution filled the left tube thing... Then, as fermentation took place it produced CO2, and we could measure the CO2 produced with the graduations on the left tube thing...
