Let's Play Deductions!

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Looks like a giant lab set up that Sherlock would love to have at 221B. I'd put it as some sort of distiller setup.

[Fantasy Lover]

Not a dilister setup.

[Arcadia]

Alright then, so it looks like you climb up the ladder and pour something in ... and then it gets split up into different jars? And something different happens to each jar, maybe? So an experiment or test of some kind?

[Fantasy Lover]

It's already been tested, so not an experiment.

[Arcadia]

So is it a series of processes, and something different comes out the other end? Seems like there's a different piece of equipment at the end.

[Fantasy Lover]

That's correct, so the question is: what does it become? this is how the back looks like.

[Arcadia]

Ewww. Why do those look like sausages? Or, er ... something that came out of the rear end of a dog? :P

 

Okay, there's not enough of it to be making alcohol; at least, not alcohol for sale. Um ... unless this is just a demonstration for the public, not a real production line?

 

Anyway, alcohol usually means distilling, and you said it's not distilling. Hmmm. Are they making something you would use in your home, like a cleaning product?

[Fantasy Lover]

Not a dog, but you're getting warmer.

 

It's both for public demonstration and a real production line.

 

It's not a cleaning product.

[Arcadia]

Are they making a liquid that will get rid of sewage? Or maybe turn it into something useful, like fertilizer?

[Van Buren Supernova]

That thing.. looks like.. eh.. severed body part of.. eh.. a male.

 

Anyway, I have no idea what it is. My guess, this is an arrangement or device to make artificial meat, or food stuff from liquids?

The liquids could be various enzim, protein or whatever added to the product. They seem to be connected to each other, maybe it has something to do with balancing, stabilization.

 

The whole thing looks like chemistry setup, but it's not a clean room, that is why I'm not really confident that it deals with food or medication, but maybe this is just display for demonstration, so it could still be possible. What makes me doubtful that this is a contain-sensitive product (that requires careful calculated percentages of materials) are the lack of control panel or something computerized, there is something under the table that may or may not be a CPU though.

 

I would guess the demonstration is more for recretional viewing than academic? Based on the people who are viewing it, they don't look like they represent some kind of academic but people from various background that happened to be shown/given tour. But I'm doubtful again, the room doesn't seem like it cater for common curiosity, no posters, no signages etc.

[Fantasy Lover]

It's not the get rid of sewage or a fertiliser.

 

It's human, just not a body part. It doesn't make any food.

 

It's indeed recreational.

[Arcadia]

Is it a demonstration of how the human stomach and intestines turn food into, er, poop?

[Fantasy Lover]

Correct, it's called a cloaca, made by Wim Delvoye https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wim_Delvoye this is considered art ladies and gentlemen.

[Arcadia]

Well, it's not art I would pay money for, that's for sure. If that's what he wants to be remembered for ... producing shit ... more power to him. ;)

 

Yipe! This means I have to find a new one! I will start looking.

[Arcadia]

Aha, I forgot I took this picture, just for this thread! See what you can make of it. I had to shoot it through a window, so it's a bit blurry. :(

 

[Fantasy Lover]

It looks like a bathtub.

[Van Buren Supernova]

Looks like blobs of fresh paint caused by bubble. Are they?

The beige color looks suspiciously similar too. Or are they paint drops?

 

But it looks a bit big for that.

I try to guess the size but no really sure. The thing on the right looks like section of a square pipe, that could range from 1-4 inch or more.

The upper left looks like wooden frame, which is normally around 2 inches.

 

Is there reason you "had" to take it from window?

[Arcadia]

Not a bathtub. Not paint, not a bubble. Not a section of square pipe, not a wooden frame. Not 2 inches, more like 4, maybe 5.

 

I could have taken it from a different angle and avoided the window, but then it would have been too obvious.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

It looks like a combination of ceramic and metal.

[Arcadia]

Quit a bit of metal, yes. No ceramic. I assume you mean the white part? It is something else entirely.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Glazed donuts. The white stuff is the sugar glaze being poured/drizzled over the donuts.

 

ETA: it's the whole conveyor system for making/glazing the donuts.

[Van Buren Supernova]

Is it part of vehicle?

It looks like older wagon or something.

 

Is it something that everyone knows as in common stuff? Does the orange blob has some significance?

[Arcadia]

Oh, Camper, you have got it on the nose! They recently opened a Krispy Kreme donuts place nearby (yum) and this is part of the conveyor belt that cools and ices the donuts after they're made. So that sheet of white is the icing pouring down, and the bumps are the donuts poking through the curtain of icing.

 

And yes, the orange blob has a great deal of significance; that is what the donut looks like after the icing has cooled.

[Van Buren Supernova]

Well done Camper.

Is it the middle part of the donut?

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Well done Camper.

Is it the middle part of the donut?

Thanks. They make a raised donut through a series of conveyor belts, getting it cooked, then it goes on one last conveyor where it goes under a sugar glaze version of a water fall. It continues down the conveyor until it's cooled and the employee either boxes it or puts it in the display.
