Gizmo Quiz #?

Volume 2

[werty]

What is this? What is the exact model number? And who makes it? [werty.net]

I have a feeling that someone will get this right away...just a hunch.

I declare the quiz unpaused and also answered:

HPD Model 126 Heliodon

made by:

High Precision Devices Inc. of Boulder Colorado.

Good job, iamlost ;)

[hpd-online.com...]

The Model 126 Heliodon is built to demonstrate the motion of the sun relative to a building for the purpose of designing solar responsive architecture.

A well designed building will harvest the winter sun, reject the summer sun and collect daylight all year. The HPD Model 126 Heliodon makes it easy for anyone to learn the principles required for achieving solar access and shading. Within only minutes of use, the heliodon evokes an "aha" response from both children and adults. The HPD Model 126 Heliodon can be used as a demonstration device, as an interactive hands-on teaching tool, and as an architectural design tool for testing and comparing alternative designs.

So iamlost hosts next week. Make sure you have a bag full of funny pictures (just as important as getting the answer correct - see original Gizmo Quizzes).

I knew there was a drawback to being right - having to think! :-)
