Guest LilBambi Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Gee and for the first one I was gonna say, Wow, they finally came out with a portable "Bat Signal" LOL! But then I didn't see the bat shadow over it. ;)For the next slide....hmmmm, what could it be? Good one henderrob.I vote for "a pc water cooler, complete with peltier transistor" :DI was gonna say an overgrown starter or alternator, but it does kinda look like a satellite of sorts too....Help!

Temmu 1,931 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 well, a vote for an orbiting peanut shaker, a previous vote for a bat-signal (does look like that!) a vote for a pc cooler, and a vote for house air conditioning on the cheap! (glad i checked back in! )and the winner is...linky 04-648-100 - Kimpex Ultimate Traxtion Track. 1" lug height. 144 pre-molded stud holes.Designed for the snowmobiler who wants the safety and traction of a studded track.it's rolled-up for shipping, of course!----ok, someone post something.... or, if not, i will later!

tommyj12 0 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Urmas if there were a few more copper lines there I would say you have the makings of a moonshine still. But I think that might be a wood fired water heater. Maybe a maple sugar still.... Wait how many guesses do I get? Tommy Link to post Share on other sites
Urmas 83 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 But I think that might be a wood fired water heater.Getting warmer ... that is the (lesser) half of the story... it indeed does heat water, too. But its main function? Link to post Share on other sites

Urmas 83 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hint #1: In my part of the World, this thing was traditionally used on Saturdays only. Link to post Share on other sites
tommyj12 0 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 To wash clothes? Make lye soap? I don't know much about traditions in Finland, or even Europe for that matter. Tommy Link to post Share on other sites
Urmas 83 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) To wash clothes? Make lye soap?Hint #2: To wash body and soul... and on Saturday, because one had to be clean in church on Sunday morning. Edited April 23, 2007 by Urmas Link to post Share on other sites
tommyj12 0 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I am really stumped now? The body and soul bit is throwing me. Tommy Link to post Share on other sites
Temmu 1,931 Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 well, so far we know it heats water... so it's gotta heat the house too, which would be very nice for bathing in winter Link to post Share on other sites
Urmas 83 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 well, so far we know it heats water... so it's gotta heat the house too, which would be very nice for bathing in winter Yeah... the question is, which "house"... or... "room"?Hint #3: An electric version of this (without the water heater) might look like... this: Link to post Share on other sites
tommyj12 0 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 That looks like a sauna. I assume those rocks heat up and you would pour water over them to get steam. Maybe thats right I rarely ever am.. Tommy Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe thats right I rarely ever am.. Tommy Give the man ape a cigar! Yes! What we have here...... is a (wood fired) "heat storage sauna stove". "Heat storage" means that its body is filled with stones, and it's "pre-heated" before bathing.The history of the sauna stoveThe Finnish Sauna Society --Development of the Finnish SaunaStove galoreTo "fire up" a stove like the one above requires some practise... a simpler and more common solution is...... a "continuous-heated" sauna stove (meaning that the fire below the stones - and here there are much less stones - is "on" throughout the bathing). The water heaters are relevant in summer cottages without plumbing/electricity.Tommy! You're on! Edited April 24, 2007 by Urmas Link to post Share on other sites
