A food container?

 

I see what you mean - but they are sent out from a company that sells refurbished and recycled scientific equipment - so it has to be something sciencey. I thought it looked like a clampped on stopper to a gas jar or a jar or acid or something. (?)

part of a bomb calorimeter perhaps?

OK - Last week was part of a 'Tubular Molecular Vacuum pump' and the week before was an 'ice crusher' apparently.

 

They've changed the rules a bit. They post it on Thursday and want answers by Friday - First correct answer out of a hat sometime on Friday will win.

 

 

Here is this weeks! I think it looks like an attachment for a dispersion mixer. But it could be just about anything!!! Any ideas??

I think that there is a double rubber ring at the top of the cylindrical shape. That could mean it's some kind of piston.

Or a HPLC/GPC injector port?

errr:confused:....looks like something from wallace and gromits spaceship to me.....

It was a fan viscometer apparently - they got NO correct answers (wine goes towards their staff christmas party).

OK - the company that was running this has stopped it for now at least. Shame - I was quite enjoying it. Thanks for your help people - even though we didn't get a single one right!

 

I've deleted the pics to make room in my alloted SFN piccy space. Will post again if they ever start it up once more.

Well, err... , ehem, err.. yea of course! Of course... I would have sent on the bottles of wine if we had won them.. of course! .. but they've stopped it now so I'll let you know if they start again. Bye for now!........ hic!..
