Game: Guess the mystery object !

Yep, that was the rotor from a siren.

The rotor itself is actually tiny, the Thunderbolt was a blower-forced siren.

 

[Prototype]

None of the above

Is it what I think it is, from the thing you had to fix? *zap* (I won't answer cause that wouldn't be fair, obviously)

 

[Things]

Not a thermal switch either. Yes Proto, I think I've told you and a few others from laserchat when I originally found it

 

[millirad]

A diode?

I see. Well, I shall let the games continue!

 

[Things]

Not a diode

It's a very odd packaging for this type of component ...

 

[Coherent Light]

Is it a capacitor?

I would say inductor, but that's already been said.

 

[Things]

Hehe, finally

Yes, it's a capacitor. I have never, ever seen one in a resistor package before, and it appears most people here haven't either.

 

[millirad]

Here's an easy one when you get time....

 

[Coherent Light]

mercury / melted solder / lead on Venus

 

[millirad]

Mercury nope, solder nope, lead on Venus LOL nope

 

[bhwollen]

caesium!!!

 

[Coherent Light]

Was just going to say that as well

 

[millirad]

Yep you win the banana LOL!

caesium!!!

 

[bhwollen]

It was simple because a couple of years ago in school we were messing around with it. :tinfoil:

Water+caesium=FUN!

Was just going to say that as well

 

[bhwollen]

I don't like bananas though...

Ill do one. It'll be pretty hard though.

I blocked out the name.

Hint: You Canadians should know

Yep you win the banana LOL!
