Okey dokey,

what is this? [pg.photos.yahoo.com]

[larryhatch]

Is this device used by anyone to prevent airport
terrorism?

[grandpa]

Does it accept a combination of gasses?

[PhraSEOlogy]

Not for tyres (tires USA)

Not for anti-terrorism.

Not gasses either.

[larryhatch]

Is this device needed or the production of
roller bearings or ball bearings or insanely
hot french women at all?

[tbear]

Hmm, looks like either gas or liquid is run through the pipework.....
Is this used to heat something, or to cool something?

[PhraSEOlogy]

Not ball bearing but HOT is in the right direction (not french women though).

[PhraSEOlogy]

Tbear,

You are getting closer... with heating.

[tbear]

Does it have a specific function or various uses?
Does it take heat from something or give heat to something?

[PhraSEOlogy]

It has a specific function (used for many applications) and that it to heat by....

[tbear]

Do you know what size this gizmo is¿¿

[PhraSEOlogy]

It can be made in various size depending on the application.

[cmatcme]

The photo you have, what application would you use it for?

cmatcme

[PhraSEOlogy]

I can't really say too much as it would give the game away.

Its really a simple device with one function: to heat something.

[tbear]

So, not gasses, that leaves liquid passing through the tubes......¿

By the way, thanks for the early start. I usually have to content myself by reading the finished quiz when I get home, around 3-4 am!

[PhraSEOlogy]

Tbear,

I had to get up early today to plant corn, watermellon, and squash in the garden. I have been going back and forth from the field to the house to keep up with the game.

[4crests]

anything to do with a Heat Exchanger?

[PhraSEOlogy]

Not a heat exchanger but heat does get generated using...

[cmatcme]

Like a heated towel rail type contraption?

cmatcme

[PhraSEOlogy]

Its an industrial tool. The heat would vapourize a towel.

[tbear]

Hmmmmm......
Looks like copper tubing. So it's not so hot as to vapourise copper then¿

Hope you are wiping your boots before you come back in :)

[PhraSEOlogy]

Tbear,

Funny you should say that. My wife just told me to wipe my feet as there is a trail of soil from the back door to the computer room.

You are on to something with copper...

[cmatcme]

Is the gizmo used to heat copper up to high temperature and mould it into various shapes (ie car parts)?

cmatcme

X= Fingers crossed? ¦¦ I'm probably wrong!

[PhraSEOlogy]

cmatcme,

You are very close on this one - it does not mould - but that is very, very, very close.

[PhraSEOlogy]

Hint - the heat is generated in the part or parts it heats.

[cmatcme]

Is the gizmo used to cool down preheated objects?

cmatcme

[PhraSEOlogy]

To heat metals.

<added>to be more precise electrically conductive meterial</added>

Maybe I said too much...

[cmatcme]

Used to make copper wiring in mains cables!

cmatcme

[PhraSEOlogy]

No, I said it heats - it does not mould really.

Electricity plays a part but it does not make electrical cables.

[cmatcme]

Used to heat metallic objects - copper - through electricity?

cmatcme

I'm not very good at this game!

[tbear]

Is hot liquid fed into the bronze coloured nozzles and out of the inner spouts?
