2011. I'm going to guess it's a holder for watch parts when the watch
is disassembled to be cleaned.
Karl
2011 transistor heat sink (not?)
2012 no clue
2013 My best guess is some kind of ink system for a mechanical
printing press. Magnifying loupe to check the print as it comes off
the press.
2014 some kind of specialized hammer. Roofing?
2015 Hydrogen generator. Fill with water, apply DC electrical current.
2016 Salesman's sample case. But for what? Light bulbs?

Most modern engines run near stochiometric. The converter is a 3-way
(formulas left unbalanced for clarity)
NOx -> O2 + N2 (reduction of oxides of nitrogen)
CO + O2 -> CO2 (oxygenation of carbon monixide)
HC + O2 -> CO2 + H2O (combustion of unburnt hydrocarbon)
Lean-burn and diesel engines use a different converter.

The problem with socialism is there's always

As a practicing locksmith. The stated diameter of standard tumblers is
.115 inches.
There are many exceptions. Including the ones you mentioned, and a few
others. Padlocks, Medeco, vehicle locks, furniture locks like file
cabinets, some "peanut" cylinders used on glass doors (very rare in
USA). I'm sure a few more I forgot.

BTW I don't believe the 1/16" diameter for the lock pin
tumblers shown last week. They are normally closer to 0.100 or
0.125" than the 0.0625" which is 1/16". (I haven't gone
downstairs to measure mine yet.) The only exceptions which I
know are the ones in the Ace cylinder locks and the Best locks.
2011) Looks like a breadboard for setting up a small clock movement or
a large watch movement. I even thing that the outlines pressed
into the steel correspond to the separate plates in something
like a pocket watch.
2012) Interesting. I'm not sure what it is to squeeze, but it looks
like a toggle link mechanism for applying a lot of force at
the last motion of the lever.
Maybe for squeezing individual cherries or something similar in
the pockets in the rubber?
2013) At a guess -- a fingerprint kit -- including the ink and roller
for taking prints from an individual and the contrasting
powders, blower and brush for taking prints from surfaces. In
the upper kit, the magnifier looks designed to be illuminated by

2014) For splitting logs -- to make firewood or perhaps to start
making shingles.
2015) One of the bogus "supercharge your engine with something (ozone,

2014 It sure looks like, in the lower picture, if someone bashes the left

simple-minded guess that this is a wood-splitting tool.

2911 I realize that three bad guesses don't add up to one good guess. Here
are 3 bad ideas:
1) It sort-of resembles the back of an un-assembled clockwork like
instrument, but the corner assemblies don't look right, and there would be
no purpose for the stamped lines.
2) It might be a drill-jig for 3 different sizes of hole, but, again, I'd
expect a quick release and alignment stops rather than the corner screws,
and again, there is no purpose for the stamped lines.
3) It might be an assembly jig for some instrument. In this case, the lines
are a parts-placement guide, and the corner supports are adjustible for
parts depth.

Gasp!!! We are doomed!
We live in a society, with and educational system that produces people who
accept that:
Start with a rotating shaft.
Take mechanical energy out to turn a generator.
Perhaps, make a round trip through an electrochemical storage battery.
Use the electrical energy to break a chemical bond to produce hydrogen.
Burn the hydrogen in a heat engine to produce mechanical energy.
Use the mechanical energy to rotate the shaft.
And this is a good idea. And the people who accept this make our social and
political decisions!

I didn't have the exact measurement so I had to make a guess, whenever I use
a qualifier like approximately, about, or around, you can be sure that it's
just a ballpark figure for the dimensions to give an estimate of the size.
They've all been answered correctly this week, I wasn't able to find a link
for the vulcanizer but I have it on good authority that this is the correct
answer for number 2012.

Thanks, I changed the wording to read "slightly less than 1/8" diameter", I
had made my guess of 1/16" from looking closely at some padlocks.

Mine agrees with you, however I do wonder if there has ever been any
proper research done into the effects of adding small amounts of gaseous
hydrogen to the intake stream of an internal combustion engine.
Combustion is a strange thing, and while I don't expect it to happen it
would not _surprise_ me to find that a little bit of hydrogen has a
disproportionate effect on the percentage of the gasoline in the chamber
that gets burned and turned into useful energy instead of going out the
exhaust and heating the catalytic converter. On the other hand,
adjusting the engine to run a little leaner could have the same
effect--remember that modern engines run a little rich to feed the
kitty. But then the question comes what happens to the emissions if the
cat isn't getting enough gas to stay at operating temperature.

Actually there has been a lot of testing done. While hydrogen does help
the fuel burn cleaner there is a BIG problem with the energy used to
convert the water in the first place.
If you do the math and then actually test it there is a net energy loss.
Take a look at how much power it takes to crack the water using 12
volts to generate a usable amount of hydrogen. Then how many HP the
engine takes to generate that power level constantly and the fuel used
by the engine to do that.
As for most vehicles running rich, pretty much anything built since
about 1997 actually run on the lean side. That is why the converter is
there to break down the nasty stuff generated by a lean running engine.

There has been much research and there are ways to enhance efficiency,
indeed. But, as the other respondent says, none of those include the
use of energy from the engine/alternator system to produce the H by
electrolysis.

What keeps the converter hot? The main point of the converter was that
it made it possible to do away with the driveability problems resulting
from the earlier "lean burn" techniques for passing emission standards.

In a modern three way cat. there are three different processes going on.
1. Reduction of nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen
2. Oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide
3. Oxidation of unburnt hydrocarbons (HC) to carbon dioxide and water
Run a rich mix into a cat. and you will see the guts in it melt down. I
replace a few like that every year.
The heat in the cat comes from all of the reactions. If you have a
vehicle with any blow by or bad valve stem seals it can get interesting.

And, of course, the disc tumbler locks, which are hardly pick
resistant. :-)
That reminds me of an interesting lock and key system which I
encountered in a hotel in Ciaro Egypt. It was like three keys joined at
the back edge at 90 degree intervals. I wonder whether it actually used
all three rows of pins and all six pins per row?

O.K. Master (and many other smaller pin-tumbler padlocks) may
well have smaller tumblers -- but they are unlikely to be equipped with
pick-resistant tumblers such as you illustrated. The pick-resistant
ones are usually used in the cylinder locks in doors -- and, BTW, I have
an ancient larger Yale padlock which uses the same larger pins.
I just went down to measure some new pins, and find the range
starting at 0.11395" and going up into the 0.114xx range -- which is
reasonable for a free sliding fit in the bores in the cylinders and
plugs and a good nominal 0.115"
