Ok ill see if this attachment thing works.

ok here goes

What is this a pic of ?>?>>?

 

[keltin]

Looks like corroded bolts.

 

[sattie]

Looks like something I saw on some special about Louisianna and the dam... some sort of magnetic thing that draws something to it to keep it from rusting... I'm sure I am way off base here.

 

[sattie]

Ok... the jpg is called computer parts?

 

[LT72884]

no. no and no. this one is an interesting one.

EDIT

the name is misleading becasue i hate meta tags in websites that tell you the name of the images. so i miss label everything on my pc. it has nothing to do with a computer.

Ok... the jpg is called computer parts?

Whoops, I should have warned LT to change the name of the pic when using the attachment option!

Still, it's not much help here........

 

[keltin]

Is it a magnified microscopic type shot of something?

 

[LT72884]

LOL Dont worry keltin. i thought of it at the last minute before i posted it so i changed it from the original to the "computer parts" label. something i learned in web design class. Always mis label your images... Yes it is a magnified shot and i did use a digital microscope to capture this.

it Looks like corroded Lead metal.

 

[LT72884]

nope its not lead. lead is to soft for the function of these bad boys

 

[YT2095]

some sort of Gripper to provide traction?

 

[LT72884]

Nope. No traction from these dudes.

but i can see how they would look like they could provide traction. kinda like snow tires

 

[keltin]

Some kind of shredding or sawing device?

 

[LT72884]

nope not a shredder

 

[miniman]

Is it the, I think zinc, compnents you put on steel objects which prevent the steel being corrroded by eletrolysis?

 

[LT72884]

nope. no zinc that i no off

 

[YT2095]

a blue gray metal with a white salt, that has to be hard.....

Titanium (even though Ti(III) and Ti(IIII) salts are colored, other`s are not.

Tungsten and Tantalum, also have white salts, the platinoids..... I`ll leave till later

 

[LT72884]

nope. ok here is a clue. its not the metal or material im looking for. its what the object is

 

[sattie]

Is it a microscopic view of something you would find in a kitchen? Like silverware or a skillet? If you got it under a microscope, then it has to be pretty small right?

 

[keltin]

A heating element of some kind?
