Gizmo Quiz #54

The update looms and we're playing games?

Here's this week's Gizmo. [images.fotki.com]

What is it?

[lawman]

Since my funny answers are being ignored (where's Macguru when you need him), I'll ask a serious question, to wit: Does it have anything to do with volcanos?

Lawman, I love the funny answers...keep them coming!

I'm working on one of my own involving smurfs and railroad crossings and hair gel.

Might be too risque for this board. :)

Hi lawman, can't type very well when I'm laughing, and it doesn't have anything to do with volcanos.

[lawman]

Seriously, Scotty used a similar device to reverse some type of polarity, but I can't remember what it was called. I do remember that it had to be inserted precisely. Feel free to jump in Oilman, Mivox, or Macguru.

>>Feel free to jump in Oilman

I've been sittin on this thread for hours now - I'm stumped :)

[bird]

Actually, coconutz is cheating. "Immersed" is only a good synonym for one of the two versions...

[lawman]

Now I'm really serious. Does it have anything to do with multi-phase graviton polarity flux?

[ScottM]

Snowgeese use this device to warn of impending tornados and beer cans. An optional attachment, noted for it's vocabulary and great taste in music, is a child-proof, tamper-resistant stapler.

7 out of 4 snow geese recommend this device to neighboring ducks. Although not normally displayed as a primary indicator, it is known for it's impact in local radar systems and diaper sales.

Sometimes mis-identified as a cow.

On topic:

Is this device a transmitter or receiver?

[defanjos]

Does it measure vibration?

[coconutz]

construction

[lorax]

Is it used to test for seismic activity?

[coconutz]

"Immersed" is only a good synonym for one of the two versions...

Good synonym for both versions....

[edit]my apologies bird, it was my understanding that both variations could be embedded.[/edit]

[defanjos]

strain monitor for bridges or buildings?

[lawman]

Sounds like Bird is withholding his wisdom.

[lorax]

Strain measurement - I like it!

[coconutz]

>>anything to do with multi-phase graviton polarity flux?
I really don't think so

>>Is this device a transmitter or receiver?
I'd say transmitter

>>Does it measure vibration?
Yes

>>Is it used to test for seismic activity?
No

[ScottM]

Is it imbedded in concrete?

[defanjos]

Extensometer?

[Key_Master]

Is it an ultrasonic gauging system?

[coconutz]

Is it imbedded in concrete?

Yes

[oilman]

a jointmeter for adjoining pours of concrete slab

[defanjos]

checks concrete viscosity?

[cminblues]

Sensor & exploding tube, used to test the straightness/force of a building.

[oilman]

Fiber optic micro-interferometer vibration sensor system for monitoring of traffic and traffic-induced vibrations of bridges

[lorax]

Used to measure the expansion and contraction of concrete?

[lorax]

vibrating wire strain gauge for concrete

[cep.com.sg...]

[coconutz]

You guys got the function, but the original question was

"What is it?"

[ScottM]

And I did a search for 'stress concrete'...doh!

[coconutz]

Congrats lorax!
