I love it, and the title of course is "Water level", right?.
The next step would be putting the little bubbles
in the tubes :-)

I'm not sure exactly what they are, but they look a bit like Spirit 
Levels, maybe that's the term you're looking for.

Bye for now,

I think this particular (carpenters?) level is using those green cylinders
instead of bubbles, Sax said before it was an "air" level so it probably has
those resting in vacuum or air.  They should be moved according to position so
it looks like they are working properly.  Never seen a type like this if it is
that and I don't see how it could operate friction-free enough unless there is
supposed to be fluid in the tubes; in which it's also called a spirit level,
like those with the bubbles.

I've usually heard them called bubble levels. Except these seem to be 
missing the bubbles...

Yep, I didn't manage (nor tried) to put bubbles in the levels...yet

The title is in fact :'Invasion'. The idea behind it is that bubble levels
are used to make thinks levelled, perfectly horzontal or vertical. In this
little world, the aliens are bubble levels and their job is to lower
everything at sea level... . Er, ok, i'll follow the white guys with the red
cross...

From what I know a spirit level is what you're all talking about
(the one with the little bubble in), a water level is quite 
different and consists of two small transparent tubes with a mark
at the middle of each, each transparent tube/cylinder is then 
connected to a very long flexible but crumple proof tube a bit like
a hose pipe, you fill the pipe up untill the water reaches the mark
in each transparent cylinder.  You put the lids on the transparent
cylinders, and you can check items at long distances to see if they're
level or not, one person holds one transparent tube up to the wall 
or roof at his end and a second person takes the other transparent tube
(on the other end of the pipe), to the second location and holds the 
tube up to the appropriate place, if the water in each transparent tube
is touching the line, then the two locations are leve. And that is a 
water level.

And that was also interesting to learn.
