[anselm]

Heinkel Lerche is correct, and I'm no modeller, I just stole the picture from the internet.
It's hard to find an actual photo of that thing!

I aint got the foggiest haha...it looks familiar tho :s

 

[lasersbee]

HINT....
it is used in the hobby field (R/C models or not).
Some of the older hands on model hobbyists might remember
what it's for...

a micro-valve to regulate flow of liquids?

 

[lasersbee]

@ DEMONEX No... nothing to do with batteries

@ Arayan.... No... not to regulate liquid...
not exactly sure what you mean.


I'll give another 15-20 minutes and I'll show
you where it comes from and what it is used for...

@ Arayan.... No... not to regulate liquid...

[AUTO XX]

Reed valve for something like a pulsejet engine?
(those might only be made of spring steel though)

 

[lasersbee]

We got a winner.... AUTO XX is close enough... he named it.

It is Reed Valve from a small .020 cubic inch 2 stroke model engine...
COX must have sold millions of those engines... I think I was 8 years
old when I bought my first COX .049 engine...
Here's a Pic showing the Reed valve....
It allows a mixture of Fuel and air into the crankcase...
