im currently moving all of my step-dad's stuff out of storage so it can be moved to our new house. As i was taking everything out of one of his garages, i stumbled upon an antique chest. the contents of this chest were merely dvds and worthless items however, upon inspecting the collage of paintings and images set into the wood on the top of the chest, i noticed an odd depiction of a man that appears to be blowing or breathing into a tube of some sort and this painting depicts a line of trajectory that splits into two. i dont want to explain it in too much detail, as i do not want to mislead anyone who may actually know what this is. If he were looking through the device, i wouldnt have given it a second glance, however he seems to have his mouth pressed against it. Im very interested in finding out what exactly the purpose of this device is. If anyone has any idea, feel free to post your thoughts or facts. Sorry for the image quality. Im not sure why it ended up looking soo green but give it your best shot!
Does that look like sheet music at the end of the contraption to anyone else? I'm saying musical instrument.
sorry for the image quality once again but thats not a sheet of music at the end.. its a mirror the reflects one on the lines of trajectory
Okay... Strap in - this is a little out there. It's an Ethereal Energy Absorber. During the 19th and early 20th century, the physical understanding of light was poor (even among physicist). The prevailing notion was that of an invisible material called "the Ether". It was known that sound was a vibration of the air, and it was assumed that light was a vibration of "the Ether". This contraption used a mirror to focus light (and therefore 'ethereal energy') through a set of lenses into a collecting chamber where it was mixed with air an inhaled. Okay - you may remove your seatbelts.
Do you have any links to pictures such as the one op posted. I can't seem to find any using that name.
I meant "strap-in" to signal that I was about to engage in a practice known as pulling a wild explanation out of my arse... Its an Irish thing I'm told. Sure, why not.
