Oh my goodness! They're actually trying to build a Death Star!

My guess is that it's a casing surrounding whatever is inside. But that's just a guess.

Storage case for Obama's Ego.

Some sort of tunnel boring equipment?

fboness said...

A detector for some very large particle accelerator.

"Storage case for Obama's Ego."

Can't be, nowhere near big enough.

Perhaps the large wooden bagder didn't work.

Pinion gear for my new electric pencil sharpener. The big bull gear is on the next truck.

Humm..
New development by Spacely Sprockets? Or, maybe it's from Cogswell Cogs?

Ken Mitchell said...

Looks like a neutrino detector. We have one here in MN.

Clearly a gear for the world's largest wind up watch.

A cog that goes in a really big pocket watch?

A storage case for one of Obamas ears.

Thats part of the winch mechanism for my next trebuchet.

Bet you all thought I wouldn't get that defence contract but they loved my zero carbon footprint pitch.

Geez, guys. I thought I would give you a fat clue without giving it away.

This is the end cap for the ATLAS detector at Cern. This bit weighs 25 tons. The whole ATLAS assembly is well over 7,000 tons. The proton beams from the Large Hadron Collidor are guided through that center hole and intract within the detector.

The goal is to create a micro black hole that will grow to swallow the Earth.

We have that already, its called Obamanomics.
