Game: Guess the mystery object !






It may be a bit too obscure this one...only people directly involved with the construction/ service /repair of that device will know what that it...i dont think were gonna get it.
 
ROTFL !

Ok, i said it was too difficult, so i post the solution.

It's a wire tension sensor from a knitting wire (thread ?) feeder, for a high speed automatic knitting machine.

It measure the tension of the knitting thread wire "on-the-fly", giving the feedback to the motor that feed the wire, so regardless the speed of the knitting and the type of the fabric, the tension is always the same (this for make all the knitting points identicals and not break the wire in the knitting process) ..... it use a piezoresistive film glued on the spring plate that hold the slider (that square that looks as a chip :p), and the parts where the wire slide (in all the device, not just on the sensor), are made in ceramic, cause at that speed, also a common cotton wire can cut a slot deep a millimeter in hardened steel in a month or two.

By the way, do you want that i post something more difficult, the next time ? (just kidding, no need to shoot me :p :D)

it's an electric motor.
Looks just like the collector from the starter motor from my car that I rebuilt the other weekend.
The whole contraption? A wood chipper.

Thats a pretty big starter motor for a car, are you sure you didn't rebuild a tank?
 
It's the rotor of an electric motor hooked to a high power mechanical siren blower (i mean, a very loud one, judging from the dimension of the fan and aircutting blades, compared with the other objects) ..... nautical fog siren ? ..... flood alarm siren ? ..... or, maybe, an old WW2 alarm siren, but for me the rotor looks a bit too new, for this .....

Yup, thats definitely the rotor from an electrical air siren.

I did have something I found the other week that will probably trick some people, but of course, Murphy's law, I can't find the damn thing! I'll post it when I do.

EDIT: Here it is! Probably an easy guess

If you are going to say resistor, think again :p

It's an inductance ..... more precisely, a filter 10uH, 10% tolerance, axial inductance ;)


Something old, now (not difficult like the tension sensor, LOL)

It's easy, this time, so you must also say from where it come (or where it's used, if you prefer) ..... some helps ?

1) nothing to do with electricity, at all.
2) tip tip tip tip tip tip tip tip tip tip tip tip tip tip-ding .....

:p :D

:wtf:
I am using one or two of these as <1Ohm resistors!!
LOL. I just put my DMM to it, measured 0.4Ohm , and thought "Cool, just what I needed".:crackup:
So the green color is the only and 100% sure telltale sign what these are?
 
Things : a fuse . HIMNL9 : Typewriter bell ?.

One of those bells you find on a hotel desk to get thier attention?
 
It's a bell but from where?
School "recess is over" bell?
Fire alarm?
Door bell?
