This week we are doing another fun guess what this isn’t contest. The prize is a cool transformer knife to take camping and a hard drive enclosure. Simply reply in the comments what the device pictured above isn’t. Come up with something that is remotely plausible but not what it really is and sell us on it. Make your entry funny, crazy, weird… Just use your imagination. You can enter more than once if you come up with more than one thought. With a short vote the best comment will win the prize. Have a look at my first comment for an example entry. This contest will run for one week (December 26, 2010 – December 31, 2010) . Ending time is based on central standard time. ———————————–———- Added January 29, 2011 Not that is matter but the thing above was an Audi electrical block, holding relays and fuses. Wow there were so many great entries, I still have wattery eyes from laughing so much! Thanks for all the great entries, I wish there could be more than one winner. The winner is redleader36. (Comment 27 entries) “This was a device created by Thomas Edison in the late 1870s. This was the very first incarnation of the Arduino, fully programmable by a combination of shorting out the appropriate pins and reciting Gregorian chants. Edison used this device to test the endurance and longevity of his filaments by programming this Arduino to flash at custom intervals. Because of this ground-breaking research and rigorous testing, we can turn our present-day house lights on and off repeatedly without worry.” ————————————–———- Below is a pictures of the prizes.

This is a test unit from Intel. Before Intel makes a CPU in the nanometer scale they design it in the centimeter scale. This allows the design engineers to see any problems before they shrink down the design. You are looking at one of the many 32 bit registers. During this stage an airplane hanger is rented and all the modules are snapped together.

mechanical laptop…You know the mechanical calculator he designed…well this one’s for those who don’t have a forklift to carry it around
December 26th, 2010
Insides of a mechanical calculator made almost entirely out of cheese. The elastic properties of the cheese made the use of bulky spiral springs unneccesary. Unfortunately the consistency of the cheese varied too much with temperature and humidity making the units extremely unreliable. The project was finally scrapped when one of the prototypes got eaten by rodents. The lead researcher was found dead a couple of days later. Colleagues last saw him leaving the workplace accompanied by a large panda. “Just you know why…”

I just came across one of those in an old claw game I was trying to restore.
You put the quarter in, and it bridged the copper terminals and powered the motors for the claw. The joystick bumped the terminals and shifted the quarter, changing which terminals were bridged.
All too often, the quarter would bounce away from the terminals and jam itself into those brass traces which were intended for very high voltages. Not only would this break the machine, but the short would melt the quarters which caused even more damage.
Sadly that’s what happened to the one I had. I ended up selling the 80lbs of copper/brass out of it and making some cash. The rest of the machine went to some guy who had the electrical parts, but his cabinet was burned down by another one of these machines that shorted out and torched the arcade it was in.
I was just going to replace the hardware with something more modern, but the guy was so enthusiastic about restoring one to it’s original condition that I let him have it for what I payed. I could have gouged him for more than that, but he was a nice guy, and he seemed kind of depressed about something his wife was doing.
I thought I saw him on the news, but the bar was noisy, and I didn’t hear what for. Haven’t heard from him since so I didn’t get to ask.

I came across this item in an old copy of Popular Mechanics. It seems this was the prototype for the worlds first mechanical GPS.Due to the complexities,it was put by the wayside as the inventor had to be rescued after he had used the internals as a rescue mirror. After hearing of this, a foreign company purchased the rights, and after some modification (reversed the arm in the top right corner), it has now been put under wraps as the next generation of the “Swiss Army Knife”. source:wikileaks

What you see here is the next in top of the line Electromechanical Synthesizers from SHOCK. The unique combination of high quality gold, brass, and copper pickups allows for the highest in modern audio quality you would only expect from the professional engineers here at SHOCK. To you the device, just simply connect your standard 947V SHOCK leads to any combination of pickups on the device, making sure to ground it through your professional SHOCK brand clothing for optimal quality. The unique angles and spacing seen will allow the electromagnetic interference between any number of contacts to cause electrical arcs that then allow vibrations, causing the familiar electronic sound of SHOCK speakers to be combined with the unique twang of our solid state harpsichords. For optimal sound quality, channel the noise through SHOCK brand PA Tesla coils, or for and individual experience like no other, use our in ear coils.

This is a computer from a parallel universe where everything is run by tiny leprechauns inside machines. The traces are actually roads for them to walk so that they can run from one terminal to other and do I/O operations. When operating the box is closed and never opened as leprechauns might escape but by using the two knob-like service openings, one can feed the leprechauns by giving them beer and some snacks like nuts or tiny pretzels (what did you think they ate?). The computational performance depends on the drunkenness level of leprechauns so operating this piece of equipment can be tricky as you have to find the type of ale that gives you the best performance.

This is the OTHER machine the Charles Babbage designed, which is a funny story:
Charles was stuck without his nascent computer one day and decided that something must be done to make his Engine portable. He tried putting the device on a cart pulled by a horse. He couldn’t even get it to move at all until he gave it a shove with his boot. He tried putting the cart before the horse, but that caused his Engine to become Big Endian. Realizing that booting his computing device around town would become tedious, he added more draft animals. The smallest reliable self-booting device he could make was a four-horse power rear-Engine design.
Now firing on all cylinders, Babbage was able to go almost anywhere. Unfortunately, one day he failed to notice a large rock had lodged in front of a wheel as he was starting out. The cart rose into the air. The boot-block failed catastrophically, sending his cart to ground and spooking the horses so they rushed forward and hit a local binding post, resulting in a spectacular system crash.
With his Engine and cart fragmented, Babbage resolved to make a smaller version. He made the design similar to the first, carefully placing the miniature pieces on his desk. Once this desk-top prototype was completed, he immediately began working on one even smaller. The parts were so small he had to use microscopic tools to create them, sometimes even losing parts that fell on his lap.
The device you see pictured above is the last remaining fragment of the Babbage Similar Engine, a lap-top micro-created computer. It was of course heavily damaged when the overflowing stacks of them crashed to the ground, ramming the memory levers into the accumulated heap of parts.
(Note: I see Alex made the connection before I did! However, I’m still entering, because I thought this up before I read the rest of the comments. Oh well…)

This the original set design for Inception! Note how the one half can fold up over the other one? That was a proof of concept for the scene where Cobb first shows Ariadne how lucid dreaming works.
Each of the layers represents part of the dream. You can clearly see the skyscraper models, and in the center, that little nub is Cobb’s house.
The fun part is at the bottom left and right. Those pipes lead to the worlds of Limbo.
This is a nice find! I would love to have this part while watching the movie again, to trace out all the streets during that cool van chase scene. Wow, I’m jealous.

It’s an maze for electrons.
Much like using a maze to train mice/rats, the ‘Electron Maze’ was developed in a partnership between quantum physicists and behavioral scientists to determine the intelligence of electricity. Their results were mixed to say the least. Some of the scientists were convinced electrons are simply dumb particles forced to follow the whims of the surrounding universe while others became determined that electrons are intelligent and are cheeky bastards indeed, using quantum teleportation to be at all points of the maze at once.

It is the first version of the tilting ball maze. You put the ball in one the plug on the left, and then careful roll it along until it comes out the right side. Except for the spring loaded traps that will catapult onto the other side. You the have to manipulate the mechanism (and get the ball in the right spot) for it to be tossed back into the lower maze.

This is an early operator-less phone relay. Unfortunately, real-world deployment testing showed that insects would often get inside and clog up the moving parts — which of course meant an operator would still be necessary to de-bug the black box. That was a great step forward since just one operator could maintain several stations. The best way to get rid of the infestation, as it turned out, was to spray some alcohol into the box and light it to burn off the insect remains. The operators would unknowingly inhale the burned off powdered remains, and often develop problems with their respiratory tract — which is how they came to be called hackers.. but that’s another story. Since there was no OSHA at the time, there was no problem with this. But the real problem was with the fire itself, because it meant that each box would need to be firewalled. Owners considered it an extra (and unnecessary) expense and ended up paying the price for not installing one.

Why… it is simply the toy of the future. It’s the newest Hasbro’s (almost) best thing ever! It is the portable pinball machine in a case. The guy who drew the design for it unfortunately had Parkinson’s disease so construction of it was almost impossible to put together. But they pulled through and the game somehow reached the market even though no matter where you hit the ball well… lets just say you are pretty much screwed.

This is a modern Windows Vista Kernel!
Ever wondered about the box above in your computer where the cables are coming out?
The reason for the kernels innovative stability is that it s completely mechanical! Unfortunately this innovation came with a dramatical loss of speed and noise generation. The wear of the mechanical parts required a re-installation in a monthly interval.
So in windows 7 a hydraulic system has been introduced. This compensated the speed reduction and noise generation but led to a system with (security) leaks everywhere.

Well, this should be quite obvious what this is. It is a analog cellular phone. It was built by the steam punk made reality firm “Fullar Hout Aire”. They specialize in taking everyday items and translate them into working pieces of geek art and culture. In the demo that I watched they showed how they tap out the number that you are calling using binary depression inputs. The sound of the person called is by the pieces in the 1/3 right section as they vibrate at different frequencies. All and all it was very impressive.

The device uses the relative expansion and contraction of different metals to calculate the average daily temperature over the last 12 hours. This is prime example of non-geared mechanical integrators. Electrical connections and disconnections occur as the temperature change overtime, the results are outputted to an early electrical display in Fahrenheit units. A current working version of this device is on display at the Smithsonian.

This is the rear portion of an electric breaker panel intended to be used on Chinese built military airplanes. Sadly, all the designers perished during the test flight. It was later determined that the cause of explosion was a leaking valve on a nearby fuel cell. It appears, once put in to use, that the low grade copper utilized in this circuit melted in a matter of minutes. The shorted conductors then caused a spark which ignited the fume laden air.

This device represents one of the earliest ‘brain’ part of a mechanised book, when combined with its display unit (Not shown), the user could utilise a series of mechanical push-buttons to select a story from its ‘library’, return to the main ‘library’ or advance the story a page.
The device was withdrawn from production shortly after the first batch was produced, primarily due to its extremely expensive construction, but a secondary reason was its uncanny ability to break down precisely 1 chapter from the ending of all the stored books, causing many users to return it in a fit of anger, with many stating: “Why would I want a book with the ending torn out?!”

Well, I would suppose it could be even DES encryption / decryption machine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Encryption_Standard). It offers almost all the required parts. Here we could see the elements responsible for permutations and S-boxes. Of course you might notice that using only conductors (that are obviously visible) we couldn’t make for example a XOR gate… you are completely right: the relays for that are located on the rear side of the module. As the complexity of the device suggests that this is only for one “round” of the algorithm, to get fully working encoder/decoder you need at last 16 such machines.

I know I’m late but that wonderful piece of not-so-new techinlogy is an automotive relay and/or fuse box. Lots on small pieces of stamped matal with reminal for uses and/or relays. I won’t even try to guess what car its from but I have a suspicion it is either German or Japanese.
