Gas van A gas van or gas wagon ( ("dushegubka"); ) was a vehicle reequipped as a mobile gas chamber. The vehicle had an air-tight compartment for the murdered victims, into which exhaust fumes were transmitted while the engine was running. The murdered victims were gassed with carbon monoxide, resulting in death by carbon monoxide poisoning and suffocation. The gas van was used by the Soviet secret police in 1930s.
Exhaust manifold Exhaust manifold In automotive engineering, an exhaust manifold collects the exhaust gases from multiple cylinders into one pipe. The word "manifold" comes from the Old English word "manigfeald" (from the Anglo-Saxon "manig" [many] and "feald" [fold]) and refers to the folding together of multiple inputs and outputs (in contrast, an inlet or intake manifold "supplies" air "to" the cylinders). Exhaust manifolds are generally simple cast iron or stainless steel units which collect engine exhaust gas from multiple cylinders and deliver it to the exhaust pipe. For many engines, there are aftermarket tubular exhaust manifolds known as headers in American English,
