     The MOSCAB experiment (Materia OSCura A Bolle) uses the "geyser 
technique", a variant of the superheated liquid technique of extreme 
simplicity. Operating principles of the new dark matter detector and 
technical solutions of the device are reported in detail. First results 
obtained in a series of test runs taken in laboratory demonstrate that 
we have successfully built and tested a geyser-concept bubble chamber 
that can be used in particle physics, especially in dark matter 
searches, and that we are ready to move underground for extensive data 
taking.
