Currently I have this sitting on a table inside the house.
But what is it? Can you tell?

It looks like a clarinet or woodwind of some sort....or piccalo.
While it is true that there is a (very rusty) musician in the house and it is true that the objects do in fact involve air, they do not belong to a musical instrument (in spite of their name). ;)
looks like a side-line camera view at a spitoon contest haha
is it some sort of wind-chime?
Nope - but it does involve air and does contribute to sound..Quote:

Very warm Larry ;)

Hmm... tricky one ...
Parts of a steam or air engine ... such as piston / cylinder sleeves or valves of some sort?
Pitch pipes for tuning a musical instrument?
A brass steam train whistle?

A trumpet?
... or ... brass air horns from an engine (ie car / motorcycle / train etc)?
Brass pipe flange ...?
Regards

Steve I have no idea what it is. Possibly some part of one of Derek's cars?
I played around with Cinema 4D trying to figure it out but no luck.:confused:
Well done everyone, and good work Bill with the play around.
They're the air intakes for the quad throttles, also known as 'Trumpets'.
At the moment the car (the blue AE86) has a large intake chamber with a single throttle butterfly, now it will have one for each.
MAXIMUM performance and enhanced 'audio' ;)
Shown here also the the additional alloy block under the throttle bodies.
All requiring hand cut gaskets.

That's what I get for assuming it was something usually kept inside a house on a desk by a computer, lol. That was fun Steve. How about another?
If you haven't already seen them, Steve did quite a few similar threads last year or so, including this series that he got bored with after 4 or so. Very entertaining. Check out the confusion he caused in the other threads :D
haha.. I do bore so easily.. :cool:Quote:

And now let us guess the mpg of this nice toy!
My guess is 5;)
