Identify This! No.68

Tonight is a hot one... what is this?
More about "Identify This"... http://365project.org/netkonnexion/number03/2011-05-11

Yestderday you saw...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, yesterdays 'Identify This' photo seemed more difficult than I thought. It was in fact the works inside a barometer. You will notice the bigish round item behind all the other parts. That is an air box called an aneroid cell. It is sealed so that changes in external air pressure cause it to expand or collapse. The lever mechanisms scale this movement up to the barometer indicator hand on the face of the instrument. There is a very simular one to mine here... http://bit.ly/r9u3dF

Well done the following..
Shirley Chetwynd > top marks for working out my clue...
Nadine Swart > Excellent, well done for knowing and not guessing. Nice one.

Honorable mentions to...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MaryBeth Dailey - No clue. Is that accurate enough? Net says:-->> Now thats honest!!!

Doug O. - A Clockwork Orange. "Viddy well, little brother. Viddy well." Net says:-->> Nice one - LOL. Thanks for film reminder. You get tonights "Film buff award! YYYYYeeeeeha!

Paula Brumbe - Time keeps on ticking, ticking, ticking into the future. Net says:-->> No, it doesn't - its a barometer. LOL> Nice idea tho'.

Paula Cook-Farkas - Too much time on my hands...too much time on my hands...aaaannndd alarm! Net says:-->> Entertaining! LOL. But wrong in this case.

Tashy - Time machine. Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Vicki K - It's part of the inner workings of a Temporal Vortex. Net says:-->> So very nearly got it with vortex - that is what a cyclone is really, in shape at least. OK... a Doohicky Award! Yaaaaahy!

judith deacon - Completely off the wall, is it part of the braking system of a bike? Net says:-->> I did not see that one coming, even after you said it. But it is so far out I will give it a Doohicky award!!! Yahoooooeeeeak!!!

Camille Bisson - looks similar to where the film picks up and loads into the reel on reel-to-reel, but not quite - maybe part of a dentist's secret torture kit. Net says:-->> Excellent LOL. A dastardly and fiendish Doohicky award for you!!! Mega-yayyyyyaaaaa!

Howard N - I just disassembled a Rolex watch to see if the innards matched up to your image. It didn't, and in reassembling I have 13 parts left over. I do think it is the guts of some kind of time measuring device however or maybe some kind of detonator!!! LOL. Net says:-->> LOL Nice one. OK, since you did not get your Rolex back together I will award you an incredibly valuable "Doohicky Award!" Yeeeha!!! I think you will agree that is more than ample compensation for a damaged Rolex! LOL.

I laughed a lot tonight. Thanks everyone. I hope you had fun too.

See you tomorrow.
Enjoy!

The fan from a cool pad--you put it under your laptop to keep it from getting too hot! That is my wild guess for today... :-)

@jenrobcarr Oh I like that one too!! Funny, I went and looked at my washer and dryer before posting, and the pic looks closer to my washer than dryer, but I can see how it could be a dryer.

Nancy Holte

I'm gonna go with my first instinct and say the inside of a clothes dryer (a better clothes dryer than I own, BTW.)

July 18th, 2011

Terry

hair dryer, or speaker

Howard N

Some said this image may be that of a clothes dryer drum. So, I looked in ours and what I saw was two pulleys, a long length of rope and a bag of clothes pins! Maybe I missed the upgrade notice???

Amanda Thepanda

My first thought was also lint filter on the clothes dryer...

Could it be one of those discs you put over the plughole in the kitchen sink to stop bits of food and gunk from going into your pipes and blocking them?
