What is this machine ?

[nitroman84]

Antique CO2 controller?

 

[mikedl]

A steam room alternative to hot rocks and water?

[Hopalong X]

jFAR Unicorn detector. :haha:

 

[mikedl]

I'm sure this has already been said, and, apparently, my steam guess was wrong, so, in keeping along that line of thinking ... a humidifier?

 

[nitroman84]

Possibly an evil death machine?

1, something solid, something that is liquid. a gas, a fuel, a chemical, a foodsource, an electrical surge, and still something still comes out of this yolk.

Wait Liquid, Solid, Gas... arent those the three types of materials??

 

[mikedl]

An old "refrigerated" source of air consisting of a block of dry ice at the base with the cold air (and gasses of CO2) distributed from the six hoses. Put it in a closed room, it will cool it down, ergo, an early (very early) air conditioner.

The gauges are an indication of the amount of dry ice (and resultant pressure from its evaporation) left in the cylinder. Possibly a separate chamber for each hose containing a chunk of dry ice hence a gauge for each hose and, also, allowing selective cooling to be achieved depending on the pressure indicated by each gauge and commensurate hose placement.

Thats a gas.

Also a solid. The gas is released through a process known as sublimation.

No solid, liquid or gas leaves only...Plasma!! I'm going to guess it is...a work of art.

Agreed. But that's unlikely given the aged look of the machine. If no known physical state of matter passes through those tubes they must be ornamental or merely to attach it to something else.

 

[thefabe]

You mix chemicals in it and it dispenses heat to thwart off frost in vineyards or other orchards

Is it an Irish version of the iron maiden? One we can use to torture Jfar if he doesn't tell us the answer to this riddle soon?

 

[mckillwashere]

Ok it dispenses something that is NOT one of the elements (Solid, gas, or liquid) it must dispense emotions. At the moment it is dispensing confusion and possible anger.

 

[johnwillyums]

Hah. Good one Casey
But, along similar lines, could it be one of Wilhelm Reich's Orgone Accumulators

 

[johnwillyums]

Also. Could it dispense powder through those nozzles. Strictly speaking a solid but.....

 

[Tews]

Come on guys, this is obviously a disgromificator!

 

[Airbot]

I'd say it's a thingamabob. No doubt.
