TJ, it's funny you should mention that I had to reset my cable modem a few minutes ago... ;) (really!)
Does it have a commercial use, then?

Commmercial? This item has been sold, so in that sense, yes. It could also be used to assist commercial enterprises.

comtemporary use
From dictionary.com
Belonging to the same period of time: a fact documented by two contemporary sources. Of about the same age. Current; modern: contemporary trends in design.
I have no idea :)
It was used when it was used ;) (and no, it's not modern)

Ok, I'm wondering if a new rule should be that if the gizmo isn't guessed within two hours then the hoster gets the point (from the next game on, as bunltd is on the verge of being the champ(ess) for this round)
Hint: Think engineering

So, you put stuff in the big section, and it comes out of those tubes?

Are those "tubes" made of different materials? Do they react differently to whatever is placed inside the gizmo?
DrDoc

You heat up the seven tubes... and what's in the big area gets slowly warmed up Or, the other way around...
