Gazogene

From the creation of the "gazogene cystoscope" in 1806, which provided light by the combustion of gasoline and turpentine that was reflected into the bladder by a mirror, to the first cystoscope utilizing an incandescent bulb for illumination in 1886, (1) technological advancements have led to adoption of endoscopic techniques in almost all the surgical subspecialties.

Wood gas, also called gasogene or gazogene, was used to power motor vehicles in Europe.
