a motherboard standoff?

I'll post another pic tomorrow with something for size reference.

Plug/cover for a headphone or RCA jack? I'm thinking something to seal/waterproof it.

Given the new picture, that would be a gigantic motherboard!! 


Plug/sheath for coaxial cable to run through exterior walls?

something involving iv fluids, or used in medical field?

You're drifting... Electrical.

hmmmmm, that reminds me. @ mmi we used a larger version of this. wound with 20k turns of copper wire, and a +24v battery setup. would launch socket extensions across the room. ( extra credit excersise. ) i would use one of 15 gs500s we had as a platform for my artillery piece.

Nothing quite like building a poor man's railgun.

fun part was finding the wire in one continuous piece.   

It is ceramic

Ceramic means it is an insulator.

I still reckon it's a pen.

Similar to thermocouple insulators and igniter insulators


Looks similar top these which are used in kilns.

Wine bottle cork popper outer thing

Cat says you win!

Yes - a wine thingy for thingying the thingies of a wine thingy.

Compress gas wine opener. Needle goes through cork. C02 (press down on the cart.) forces out the cork.

That would make one wicked weapon. Injecting someone with compressed gas? Up the butt - one heck of a fart!
