No movie (atleast that I know of), and it exists in one of the US government labs.

Looks like their growing something hydroponically. What - I am not sure of.

The top picture was in one of my high school texts. No clue what it is.

My first thought was a model of the human brain (nerves) but the more I look at it, it could be so many different things.

Isn't that the Z machine? It is used to generate 200 terawatts of power I think using Xray and electrical power (btw that is 20x more power than the world creates at any given time). Of course it is located in New Mexico or Utah or Arizona (somewhere around Area 51).

I think that is either The Matrix or one of Saddams WMD factories.

Bingo!!! good job jagoff

It's a hot fusion reactor. And it does produce more power than the planet uses up.

Thanks! What do I get as compensation for spending who knows how many hours studying my Maxim's?? Huh?

I have seen it in maxim as well jagoff, but I forgot what it was.

The only thing it could be is Zolan Lab's Parazen Server.

i think its the deathstar or maybe the ornament for the top of the white house christmas tree


cheers

yeah I thought it was a deathstar too.

Snakerat, your not kidding, are you? Maybe about the doomsday part, but I'm guessing you really built that.

Neutron collector?

I was going to guess the Borg control center that controls Phil Hellmuth's great laydowns /images/graemlins/grin.gif

It's a tied-off load of 2-liter soda bottles ready for recycling. You can see all the tops sticking out.

Its the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory.
I was kidding I didn't build it and thankfully it can't destroy us all.

If you are curious about its purpose here is a link:

Here is the view from inside of a similar but somewhat more famous neutrino detector -- Japan's SuperKamiokande. The boat in the picture is full of unfortunate graduate students who had to clean the face of each PMT by hand. The picture was taken before the grandiose accident in 2001 when roughly $50,000,000 worth of PMTs imploded at the same time. But that was already after the neutrino mass and oscillations were established by that experiment.

Cool!

This thread turned is turning out to be alot cooler than I expected it would be.
