Original questions:
What is it exactly?
What was it first developed for?
I didn't answer either
Noise is sound
hm, i cant belvie it -you said a lot of clues but still nothing.where alre all the smart memebers?
So, since there is no apparent readout this must detect just the presence of something sound related¿
where alre all the smart memebers?
Asleep. Of working for the aforementioned undisclosed government agency and under an oat of silence :)
I cannot tell from the picture, but my guess is that it has some kind of readout.
It helps find a certain "event" that when it happens can cost money, especially the accumulation of these "events", so if you can stop the "events", you'll save money.
>you put is straight against a surface
It is the opposite of that.
But your guess had a major clue in it.
Let's say that you put it sideways against a building's structural element, and the cone pounces on it, then the echoes tell you if that point has stress damage or if is under extreme load.

It is not placed against anything, one of the great things about it, is that it can be operated at a distance.
Never mind. :)

Tbear, both questions have to be answered. You did get the url with the answers in it, but that is not what I asked, sorry.
I have to give it to Jonb because he was the first one to do it.
I'm sure I've seen others present their winning answer that way, it's quicker than writing it all in
We have been throught this too many times, I should have added to my original post, that just the URL wouldn't be enough to win.
if this is true and it is enough that you cna jsut give URL then tbear can win i guess. he was quicker. but then we need to refine the rules - what is allowed and what not. i rememebr pointing several links with pics of stardust but it was not enought although it was exaclty the same pic - had to search for ANSWER and post it - alsmot lost it to one of member i think.
hm,if anyone thinks tbearshould win please say so - it is not in my intention to "win at all costs". i jsut followed the rules.
Enjoy your cervezas
