fv1609 Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 I apologise for the poor resolution, but it does show all the essentials. As a clue, this is closely related to one of the other mystery objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Some kind of filter? Or maybe contains a chemical to treat the waste product.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Ah I have now found out why I have only been able to retrieve such a poor image. In fact I am quite pleased that I have managed to get any image at all. When you go to http://www.google.com/patents Look at an image, right clear to try to save it. But all images appear as cleardot.GIF. The image can't be saved as this 2kb blank image sits on top of the jpeg underneath to hide it. I don't know when this started, but must be fairly recent. It is not known why google do this to even things without copyright in the public domain. To get the image that I did was to download it as a pdf, then save the image as a bitmap then convert it to a jpeg. But does anyone know a cleaner way of doing it to get a decent image?

Yes well done Richard, you certainly deserve wining the biscuit-tin latrine. But you will have to pick it up at the end of the show :-D But have you made your incinerator yet? Building a few paths round the house are we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
