Gizmo Quiz

Sorry it's late

[inbound]

Hi everyone,

Sorry the gizmo quiz is late, I had a hard drive failure and a real panic about data I had not backup up recently. Thankfully I retrieved the data.

It should be ready in 5 minutes.

[jecasc]

Brick making?

[bobothecat]

[inbound]

Bricks or clay, wrong material.

[D_Blackwell]

Terracotta?

[inbound]

Not ceramics, but very close

[jecasc]

Cow dung bricks.

[inbound]

Not terracotta.

Ceramics are often seen along with the material used with this gizmo.

porcelain

[inbound]

not porcelain

[bobothecat]

Cow dung bricks.

Thanks for the wine being spit on the moniter :)

[inbound]

You all have this material in your houses.

[httpwebwitch]

it goes in a kiln to keep pottery from sticking to the bat?

[inbound]

It doesn't go in a kiln but it does get warm or hot

[bobothecat]

Something to do with china? (not the country).

[bobothecat]

Stove element?

[Key_Master]

Plaster of Paris?

[httpwebwitch]

does it go inside a water furnace?

[inbound]

Not china. That's pottery based, think a little different.

The material in question is found in the contents of your house and the fabric of your house.

[lawman]

dust

[jecasc]

clinker

[inbound]

doesn't go on a stove, not plaster of paris and no directly related to water.

[inbound]

You also find this material in your car (as part of what it's made of)

[bobothecat]

Something to do with a hinge?

[inbound]

I'd be surprised if you could not see this material from where you sit now.

Not dust, it's a material used in manufacturing for many centuries.

[inbound]

Not a ninge, and the end product does not flex in any way.

[Key_Master]

Glass?

[inbound]

Glass... Bingo.

So what is it?

[httpwebwitch]

it's a heat sink for resting hand-blown glass while it cools.

[inbound]

so close, it does allow it to cool but something else too
