here it is!

[globay]

What is this, and what is it used for?

Have fun!

Here is an additional picture:

[SlowMove]

Looks like a high pressure device of some sort.

[globay]

yes, there is pressure involved

[Timotheos]

Is it a linear actuator?

[SlowMove]

Some kind of a pump?

[globay]

I am sorry, but I don`t really know what a linear actuator is.

[globay]

slowmove: yes, but more specific please.

[SlowMove]

It doesn't look portable. I'm assuming that it stays in one place.

[Timotheos]

then I guess it's not a linear actuator ;-)

[globay]

not necessarily. You would use it in just one place, but it can easily be transported to the next.

Hey it looks like a coffee machine! Espresso, anyone? ;)

[globay]

encyclo: already had mine, thanks ;-)

SlowMove was already headed in the right direction. Just guess what it would be used for (not very hard)

[SlowMove]

It's got to be for gas or liquid. I'll guess gas.

[globay]

I just found out, it is not just used for one substance, but rather for almost any liquid. So how about we declare SlowMove as the winner, since he guessed pump in the first place?

[globay]

Congrats!

It is a centrifugal pump, mainly used to pump groundwater for example up to the ground.

[SlowMove]

Wow. I didn't expect to win. Thanks.

[pmac]

Doh!

Missed it again. :(

Unfortunately, I will not be able to host the quiz next week. If anyone would like to host it, you should have plenty of time to prepare. Sorry.
