It's an *_Australian CONE OF SILENCE_* !!!
Best answer yet.
@@mce_AU *AND* _Loving it_ ...
This Dave. This. From Get smart!!
I was going to say that, but missed it by that much!
WHAT?
It would be useful for EEVSmoke episodes without setting of the building's smoke alarm 🚨
it's basically a portable clean room, the ports are that big because they should have those big glove things attached to them (like the intro from the simpsons)
Was just about to post that. The big circle holes on one side are for invertible gloves, the rectangular opening is the top with a lid.
Came to say this, it's an hermetic glove box... :)
Yeah, that's what I was implying in the video, but seems too big for that.
Someone posted a photo of one that's near identical, and yeah, the glove ports are huge like this one: twitter.com/MeghanAkintola/status/1436545693469057025
Yup. Your gut feeling was correct. It's likely for some kind of media blasting etc. It just looks in too good of shape. The air inlet would be for the blasting tool, and the lid sits on the top.
I think the rectangular opening should be oriented up. And that each circular opening normally are fitted with a sealed / air tight glove. Maybe the vent is for creating a pressure inside the box slightly higher than ambient air, such that no contaminated outside air can enter the box. You could possibly use this thing as a small clean room for opening hard drives and other delicate stuff.
Or you could pump in oxygen for the prematurely born baby inside.
@@johndododoe1411 They don't do that, actually. While some preemies get external ventilation (because prior to a certain developmental point they don't have the strength to ventilate properly on their own), they don't give them oxygen because it was discovered that doing that causes them to go blind later when it is discontinued. (What happens is the higher blood oxygen level causes the blood vessels in their retinas to not develop properly, then when the baby starts breathing regular air and the blood oxygen level drops, the blood vessels develop abnormally and eventually cause the retina to degenerate into a fibrous mass.)
It could also be with the rectangular opening down; with the door on the _inside._ If it was designed for negative pressure/vacuum, the rectangular opening would be on top.
If it were designed for positive pressure, the rectangular opening would be on bottom with the door on the inside.
Must be one or the other, because the door has no visible means to secure it; and without that the only possible orientation is rectangular opening up or down, otherwise the door would just fall off.
The whiteboard would still be useful. Take the board, toss the stand, and hang that puppy on the wall.
RSPCA Australia might have something to say about that!
Whiteboard is height adjustable, the sliding parts are hidden in the pivot points, so you simply undo them slightly, and slide the board to the right level. Just means that instead of flipping to the other side, you turn the board around.
@@SeanBZA Yep.
It's a two-person(two round ports for the heads) heliox-ventilator for filming helium-voice gags.
The rectangular port is for inserting different background screens.
It's for tear-downs. The box keeps any spilled electrons from rolling all around the lab, and plactic bags are attached to the top vents to collect any magic smoke.
Even without gloves, this can still be used as a Positive Air Pressure Box.
Have you ever wanted to open a Hard Drive without dust destroying it ?
It's amazing what people throw away. Someone would be selling that for at least 50 euros where I live.
It is a simple "Glovebox Fume Hood" the port on the side is for air in or out dependent on what you are doing.
We had a similar chamber where i use to work to measure CFM of airflow through different types of filter media
Sandblasting cabinet, hands go in the 2 ports and the barbed fitting is for pressurised air for the sand blaster
You could use it for an indoor rock garden with cacti and succulents.
RIFA and tantalum magic smoke chamber right there, with extra large ventilation ports and sampler coupling adaptor. Only thing it’s missing are the silicone rubber sealant stripes which had to be replaced anyways.
Could work both ways as a clean chamber with positive pressure filtered air or a vacuum chamber. You could do some hard drive data recovery with that thing ;)
My thought as well. EEVDataRecovery.
My guess is possibly a vacuum chamber, with glove holes, maybe for epoxy potting, or rubber moulding. The screen would probably sit on top, and just needs a rubber seal around it to make it ideal.👍🇦🇺
Vacuum chambers are more sturdily built. They have to be, the base air pressure is about a thousand newtons per square meter. If you draw a good vacuum down to, say, 1% of atmospheric pressure, your container has to be able to support about 990 newtons per square meter. This is about the force excreted by gravity on the Earth's surface on a mass of about 100 kg. ()Actually, a bit more than that, but this isn't a precise physics analysis, more gross engineering.) So, in practice, you'd want a container in which you plan to draw a good vacuum to be strong enough to walk on without flinching. (And also, since drawing a good vacuum is time consuming, you make a vacuum chamber intended for degassing as small as it is practical for you to build it to support the largest container size you want to be able to degas. Most of the things you'd want to degas are on a clock, after all.)
@@evensgrey Yes, I think I tend to agree, that enclosure is rather large, and it doesn't look like heavy wall poly/perspex, so it would likely implode fairly easily given the calculations you mentioned.
Perhaps more likely it was a low pressure clean work cabinet.
Would make a nice compact laminar flow bench. All I would need is a PC3000 card, the skill to use one and far more patience than I possess.
In my engineering career we designed and built all sorts of weird things that turned out to not really be what we wanted, so chucked them. The darn thing might do and did, nothing. It's a dream that didn't happen.
A dry nitrogen glove box.
The two circle openings are for gloves. it is an isolation box
It is a glove box without the gloves. The round holes should be sealed with gloves where you can reach in and manipulate things in an isolated atmosphere. The rectangular hole allows you to insert tools and workpieces. The rough finish adheres well to a deformable seal.
That's a bsl-4 glove box, the port on the side is for vacuum, 2 big round ports are for gloves, it's usually used for handling things like deadly pathogens, or radioactive substances.
So its Austrailia that started Covid... cant wait to present this evidence to the q tits down the park.
Real solid evidence.
For starters, I think you have it laying on it's back. The fact that the loose part doesn't have hinges means that it is oriented horizontally. Considering the alternative, I think that establishes the hole with the moving part as the top! Therefore, the two circular ports are vertical, and are indeed probably intended for arms...but not the way you suggested! I believe that the brass fitting pumps in filtered air to make positive pressure, and functions as a dust-free work zone. This is corroborated by the high visibility of the structure, and it's general size. The exterior of the port is meant to receive an unterminated hose, while the interior has no such fitting; it simply exhausts into the chamber.
I briefly considered the inert gas theory, but allowing that much escapage would be totally wasteful of something that arrives in tanks. It's design seems to be focused on preventing dust contamination rather than oxygen exposure. Electronics repair doesn't need anything like this, so my guess would be medical testing. The large flat bottom would have held test tubes of biological specimens, various testing chemicals, etc. If dust is that much of a problem, the work probably required a lack of bacterial or general genetic contamination, in any case.
After further thought, the hole in the top is there to put in items that are taller than the armholes like stands or little shelves.
If it was designed for negative pressure/vacuum, the rectangular opening would be on top.
If it were designed for positive pressure, the rectangular opening would be on bottom with the door on the _inside._
Must be one or the other, because the door has no visible means to secure it; and without that the only possible orientation is rectangular opening up or down, otherwise the door would just fall off.
Probably a clean room that was used in repairing hard drives.
That is part of the machine used to put stars on and take stars off of Sneetches in Dr. Seuss' Sneetches are Sneetches book...
Call that General Waste dude. He will send his troops and arrest any dumpster room offrenders.
That would make a great terrarium. 🦎
I would use it to make a terrarium to keep frogs.
Plenty of comments indicating it's some sort of contained environment, so likely it's not a bobbie-dazzler.
Still waiting to see one of those.
I see a *lot* of reusable clear acrylic. Separate it into sheets so you can store them. They can be sawed, scored and broken, and also easily bent with a hot air gun.
Funniest Raspberry PI case I've seen - I mean what else do they make out of plastic these days :).
I think it was a vacuum chamber with gloves to work on stuff without exposure to air.
It looks like a mini mythbusters blast chamber
As a college student, that whiteboard looks nice....
Proper gloves for pro blasting cabinets are rather big on the opening, ie, maybe 250mm, which looks close.
My guess is sand blasting.
A perfect little fumehood for a small reflow soldering oven in the lab!
That white board was height adjustable from the look of the channels along the edge
I want to build one of these for all the smelly messy stuff I do. Grinding, sanding, soldering, mixing epoxy etc.
Looks like a glovebox for sterile work, for example propagating mushroom spawn.
looks like a clean room thing
i would make a mini sandblasting cabinet with that :)
My guess is for testing air flow from a pair of supply ducts or a couple of fans. Also could be for testing filters. The fitting is for the manometer. Sand blast is out, sand would eat the plastic big time. With gloves, and filled with argon -- you could assemble prototype lithium batteries. Mini clean room, feed ultra clean air in one duct port and out the other. Manometer fitting to be sure you always had positive pressure. Open up disk drives?
1:40 - A speaker enclosure used at a nudist colony? :)
I used to scope the e-waste at the local recycling. Til I got busted by the attendant. Seems "goodwill" does something w/ the stuff so I'm not allowed. Managed to score a good 960VA UPS (1 of 4 I tested) before his admonitions at least.
Damn, I could really use that white board for home schooling at the moment.
My expertise tells me it's a display case for two personal use Plumbuses
That's a glowbox. It's an inert gas box. Either that or a sandblasting cabinet that has never been used.
You could use it for cleanroom stuff
You found a very large Lego mold.
its clearly a special master lego
This has biohazard written all over it! :)
vacuum glove box... the 2 big dia. ports are for range of arm movement in the gloves... neg pressure only... that isn't an inlet nipple... no baffle on the inside to diffuse incoming air... and it is clean as heck.. so no heat oriented activities on the inside... my guess: an opening box using vacuum to reduce o2 contamination... art/book/Document appraiser/ dealer?
It's a keeper!
lmao you silly goose dave
it's a glove box!
Maybe that hatch goes on the outside and a vacuum keeps it in place. Holes are for gloves?
mushroom growing laminar flow hood type of thing
No worries Dave,its just for working on deadly germs and viruses LOL
It's an isolation chamber for top secret government biological studies. Got any mysterious biotech companies on site?
you should stick up a eevblog sticker/sign/camera that says dumpster can and will be featured on video!
looks kinda like a glovebox with an argon inlet port, or something
Mini clean room for disk drive data recovery?
You should try doing a computer repair shop, i got two laptops from there
mini clean room ;-)
Could make a nice clean "room" for HDD re-work.
that is not how clean rooms work. It will not help at all.
@@Sixta16 You put extraction fans on there - fit rubber through holes for your hands, and yes - that's exactly how clean rooms work...
@@GadgetUK164 And HDD recovery doesn't even need the gloves, just a positive air flow so it blows out of the front.
that box is for bio hazard containment - i hope it was washed first
Danger Will Robinson! Might be from Wuham...
2 holes are arm holes (fitted gloves) and square hole is top
It's a baby incubator.
Clearly there's an illegal human cloning facility in that building.
I guess it's a case for an air conditioner... (?)
What the Austrians threw away is interesting. Normally you could sell all this stuff in other countries.
looks like a big Orac
But you and the other Dave could hit the whiteboard on either side rotating it back and forth and going nuck nuck nuck nuck nuck.
Glove box for handling chemicals?
The 2 round holes might be the front for those glove thingies.
The amount of stuff we chuck away! Really is disgusting!
Glovebox. Lid on top.
i don't think that's fume chamber, maybe air or vacuum chamber.
That's a glove box. You attach the gloves to the rings, and you have it on its side
Looks like a glovebox to me
Looks like a glove box to me
0:25, Good white light reflector..
The cabinet looks too new and unused, might have been a design or purchase that wasn't suitable to needs and was thrown out.
It can be a simple chamber for fixing HDDs
Media blast cabinet?
Make a super safe soldering station out of it. jk
Executive glue-sniffing apparatus? (Those early habits are hard to break.)
Explode some caps in it
Glove box I reckon
Perspex isnt cheap either.
Forbidden lego
Not sure if anyone else caught it, but I think that I saw a desktop PC under that plexiglass box.
It's a giant transparent robot head.
Beep beep.
Cheers,
Nappie changer
The bunkers new paint booth :)
Ahhhhhhhh I need a white board just like that right now. 😂
Use it to make a cloud chamber Dave!
ORAC from Blake's 7?
Badly designed sand blaster container?
Could be an incubation chamber for a microscope
3D printer fume hood…???
Looks like a salt fog chamber...
