The "What Is This?" game

Liquid cooled laser key cutter?   

[gsatterw]

haha, nope. Key is a red herring.

Those hoses carry nitrogen

mass spectrometer?

[gsatterw]

Nope, but certainly useful in the chemistry/electronics engineering field.

Gifmaker??



I always wondered how they make those short looping clips,......hmmmm

[Calpantera]

haha, nope. Key is a red herring.

Hmm.. Looks like a key to me, but you are the fish expert... 

[oldmech]

does it convert nitrogen gas into liquid nitrogen??

[gsatterw]

not a giff maker, and it just uses the nitrogen as a coolant.

Plasma cutter

Dildo maker!

[adidasguy]

A nitrogen cooled thingy machine!

Or maybe an infrared thingy for examining thingies?

[adidasguy]

Dildo maker!

I don't think it makes pickle bread.

[gsatterw]

Not a cutter or fake floppy phallus machine of any sort. Definitely examines thingies. Hint?: Outlet could be hooked up to a mass spectrometer if you wanted to analyze the gas composition...not much of a hint, but I'll feed more as the thread wears on.

Ok, in a pathology lab you get a real think glass tube that uses capillary action to draw up blood, then insert said tube into small opening. A blood gas machine. But I don't see the insertion point. So.... a machine to photograph slides.

[adidasguy]

Laser to vaporize samples and read the resulting stuff for analysis.
Nitrogen cools the laser.

ESPRESSO MACHINE! 

[PatheticPuma]

some kind of small electron microscope?

[gsatterw]

Adidas is close, no laser and the machine is not so concerned with what comes off specifically. Heat is involved however.

Graham

[slipperymongoose]

Oil analysis machine?

[Paulcet]

Is it a calorimeter?
