What Is It? - #33

[SifuPhil]

Yowza, yowza, yowza! WII #33 is from the world of science, is made mainly of metal, the arms move and it handles some interesting things ...



WHAT IS IT?

 

[Michael.]

Microscope Lens (camera) Assembly Unit?

 

[Diwundrin]

Remote controlled soil sampler from a moon or mars lander?

 

[JustBonee]

Remote controlled soil sampler from a moon or mars lander?

.. yeah, that was in the picture I posted elsewhere of Mars ....lol

Have no idea what it is, but it looks very busy and impressive. .. does some serious work...

 

[That Guy]

Condom holder. Yea!

 

[Diwundrin]

... @ TG


Don't remember the pic but it looks too clumsy and 'robust' for a lab so 'science... handles interesting things...' mmmm ??

 

[TICA]

How tall is it?

 

[SifuPhil]

Microscope Lens (camera) Assembly Unit?

Not quite ...

Remote controlled soil sampler from a moon or mars lander?

No, but good guess.

.. yeah, that was in the picture I posted elsewhere of Mars ....lol

Have no idea what it is, but it looks very busy and impressive. .. does some serious work...

VERY serious. If you mess up, you die. Slowly and painfully.

Condom holder. Yea!

Talk about a one-track mind ... layful:

How tall is it?

Can't find the specs on it, but I'm going to say it's around 4'-5' tall.

 

[Phantom]

Tickler Condom ?

 

[Anne]

I hope that's not something you'd find in an operating room.......:lol:


Sort of looks like a tiny catapult - what for, I don't know....

 

[That Guy]

Handles radioactive isotopes?

 

[Happyflowerlady]

It looks like a spool holder in the center, and a thread cutter on the side, and maybe a place for more threads/yarns on all those movable arms, so I am guessing something related to sewing, or an industrial knitting machine, and found in a factory.

 

[Pappy]

A complicated tire changer. Almost looks adjustable to spread something.

 

[JustBonee]

It dissects bugs, or prepares specimens for mounting somehow.

 

[GDAD]

The inside workings of R2D2

 

[Diwundrin]

Yeah well, size does matter then doesn't it? 4-5 ins so not all that 'robust' but precise. Are those tiny tensioning handles? very precise use then.

I'm not up to speed with things medical but is for positioning and inserting a radiation pellet into a tumour or something? (If that's even done.)

 

[GDAD]

A lens holder, when grinding lenses.

 

[Happyflowerlady]

So, am I missing something here ?
I thought this strange, dangerous gadget is supposed to be 4-5 feet tall, NOT 4-5 inches tall.
At this point, it still looks to me like it holds some kind of a spool, although the idea of balancing a tire with it, seems very possible also.
It appears to bolt down, although the bolts don't look very strong, so it must not take a lot of tension to do whatever it does.

Basically, I am lost even for better ideas on this one.....great choice, Sifu !

 

[Diwundrin]

Doh! I read that as inches! More chocolate called for, or new glasses! :crushed:

Back to the drawing board.

 

[Jillaroo]

 

[Diwundrin]

Is it for loading/extracting the radioactive business bit of a nuke??

2nd guess, remote attachment for a bomb disarmament robot gizmo?... oh, nup, you said slow.

 

[Phantom]

ham radio broadcast aerial

 

[Michael.]

Does the finished product have an optical use?

 

[Phantom]

Surveyor's Surveying Instrument ?

 

[Rainee]

Gee thats so hard I have no idea.. I`ll wait for the answer I have tried even asked my
hubby and he is good with mechanical things but this has him stumped as well.. :dunno:
