"They were propelled by air and inside is placed a mercury engine with
an iron heating apparatus beneath. By means of the power latent in the
mercury sets the driving whirlwind in motion. When it has been heated by the
controlled fire from the iron containers a thunder power is developed through
the mercury. If the iron engine with the properly wielded joints be filled
with mercury and fire conducted into the upper part, it develops the power
with the roar of the lion."
Perhaps literally heated by flame or perhaps by electricity
