Game: Guess the mystery object !

[ped]

lunar rover prototype?

Very good!

A Space Sled



A Marquardt Space Sled, designed for individual space maneuvering in the vicinity of a spacecraft, this design was never used and instead they went with the shuttle manned maneuvering unit.

Here's a quick one..............

 

[HIMNL9]

VTOL ?

 

[anselm]

good old moller skycar, will it ever fly out of ground effect LOL?

 

[millirad]

Ding! ding! Anselm is the winner! It is the Moller skycar. You were almost there HIMNL9, because it's a vtol.

I don't know how well it flies, if it loses one engine.

 

[Benm]

... probably as badly as a car drives when it loses one engine ...

 

[HIMNL9]

..... and, i guess, it was very silent, right ? .....

anselm, do you have one ready ? ..... if not, i've found an "interesting" one :eg:

 

[lasersbee]

Ok here's an important part of something.....
Tell me what it does or what it's called...
or where it's used...

[ped]

dimensions?

 

[lasersbee]

It is ~9mm at the largest point but can be larger
for larger uses... I have some that are ~12mm in
dia.

[HIMNL9]

It looks as a spring contact for a pushbutton (i mean, the inside spring that made the "click" and close the contact between the poles) ..... from one of these flat pcb-mounted buttons .....

 

[anselm]

Lasersbee: looks damn familiar...
It's not from an RC heli though, is it?
Is it flexible?

Please HIMNL9 go ahead, IMO the more the merrier.
In the meantime I'll just leave this here. Looking for the actual name, it's kinda obvious what it does.

 

[jaredian]

Heinkel Lerche - German WW2 VTOL project

 

[lasersbee]

@ HIMNL9.... No it has nothing to do with anything
electrical...

@ anselm... No it is not part of a R/C Heli..
I believe it is made of thin Brass... and is semi flexible.

Jerry

 

[HIMNL9]

A circular spring for a gas pressure reducer / one way valve ?


@anselm: jaredian beatened me, anyway that look as part of a diorama composition (just a personal impression) ..... are you a modeler ?

 

[lasersbee]

Has nothing to do with reducing gas pressure...
but you are getting closer..
