What is it? Game 60 (Neatorama T-Shirt Prizes!)

it distills water

and separates other liquids, sorry forgot add that.

it separates water from urine.

I believe it is a water cooled distilling unit the glass cooling tube is missing, and the condensate collects in the lipped dish with any overflow going to the bottom dish. Probably for perfumes or aeromatic fluids.

Well, others have already made similar comments, but I believe it is a micro distillery.

Later,
Chrome...

old skool cappucino machine

It's an early 19th-century Dalek watering station.

A still?

A cognac or absinthe alembic. Used for double or triple distilling of the liquors. Some pieces are missing.

Major prop from the honeymoon-hottub suite in the upcoming major motion picture release, "Froggy Went A Courtin'".

It's an old birthing stool (without the seat and the other stirrup). The large metal container holds hot water, the small glass container was for cathing the child, and the large container was for catching the afterbirth and placenta.

that was supposed to be "catching the child", not "cathing the child"... sorry.

Coffee perkulator

It's clearly a steampunk scuba tank.

Scuba's a funny word. Say it with me... scuba.

water purifier of some sort.

I think it's a grape squisher for making wine

That's an old distiller for making whiskey! Moonshine, baby! Give me some!! Yee-haw!!

it's some sort of scientific sample-melting equipment.

Steampunk indoor waterfall/aromatherapy garden.

Obviously.

obvs an elephant birthing unit.

It's a water purifier for making safe drinking water.

It's a goldfish themepark. The arm on the right picks up the fish and puts it in the upper cup. Then the cup pours the fish out back into the main tank. Some times the cup will go into the tower on the left and the fish will get shot out of the tube on the right of the tower, back into the main tank.

I researched this in the patent files and find that this is the original patent prototype for an Ewok bidet.

First attempt at a steam powered radish cannon. Hydroponic ammo replentishment garden with separate nutrient mixing tank included.

Its a prototype R2D2!

Not sure, but I'm betting I can make a bong out of it.

Worst sex toy ever!

Hell's juicer.

steampunked starbucks espresso maker

It's a fecal distiller. This was an early Coors invention. "Coors has a longstanding commitment to conservation through recycling and reusing waste materials." It turns fecal waste into good old fashioned alcohol (fecalcohol, otherwise known as Coors).

An instrument of torture?

looks like a still of some sort

ye ol' espresso machine maybe

It turns urine INTO water. Like in Water World.

It is a coffee maker.

It's an apparatus for the treatment of NCBS (Non-compliant Bowel Syndrome). People advanced in age often refuse to use the facilities as a sort of "last stand." This machine is used for juicing prunes as well as rocketing the dried prunes into the offender's mouth (the arm to the right). It was invented by John McCain.

It's a moonshine still.

A device for absinthe preparation

It's that machine Kevin Costner used in Waterworld to drink his own urine.

what isnt it

looks like a perfume maker during the olden days, to extract/distill the sent from roses and any organic fragrance found in flowers.

It's an early Nasal Douche

A tea brewing machine?

Or perhaps a coffee roaster if there is a crank handle obscured on the opposite side of the machine.

I know... a faulty dehumidifier, as evidenced by the rust.

Looks like a cappuccino machine. But I have this awful suspicion that it might actually be used for something more... gross.

pressure cooker

BIOGNOME!! It's a biodome for trolls!

The very first seamonkey aquarium. Bought from the Sears&Roebucks catalogue ~1899~

Eye wash station

An ice tea maker

Oil/water separator??

piss cleaner purifier! you know.. like the one Kevin used in water world.

It is for milking mutant cows that have only one udder.

This information is supplied by my 9 year old.

It's a distill machine for perfume.

Looks like an antique coffee maker... I've only seen one other like it.

its for removing salt from water to make it safe for drinking.

Translation:

Hey that's my DAD!

I remember my dad used to have one of these out in his workshop.

First fill the metal globe with methylated spirits or alcohol. Then repeatedly press the plunger on the left to build pressure in the globe.

Warm the metal support on the right by holding it between your hands for a few minutes.

Slowly release the round valve on the top and ignite the jet of gas that is released.

Gently rest your penis and scrotum on the genital support ensuring that all clothing is kept well away from the apparatus.

Use the round valve to create short bursts of flame directed towards your genital/pubic area.*

The flames will kill any crabs (pubic lice) and they will fall into the oval trough beneath along with any singed hair.

Any fear induced urination will be collected by the round dish on top.

*It may be prudent to practice your flame bursts before introducing your member to the appliance.

It appears to be a partly disassembled sample of Lister's Carbolic mister. One of the first devices used to purify the area around an operation.

The original meth lab?

It's a bottle opener!

Hahahah I agree with Lea.

First ever game of Mouse Trap

you stick your penis into the pipe portion and urine pours uselessly into the open cage below, spilling everywhere once the level gets higher than an inch. your butt is leaned over the tilted slide, enabling fecal matter to slide down and hit the edge of the first cup, causing the rest to fall into the second. rinse and repeat.

Would it be used to get something out of a block of ice? The ice block would be put on the the thing on the top right. Then steam would come from the thing on the left. Any excess water would overflow into the glass tub on the very bottom. The one in the middle would catch whatever it is you are trying to get out of the ice. Maybe?

It's martini time!

Looks like a teasmaid with the teapot missing to me.

It's an old aerosol machine.

An early Victorian herbal air freshener/sinus reliever/tea brewer/poultice maker. As herbs are simmered, the released steam scents the air and creates vapors that clear the sinus cavity. The resulting hot liquid may be taken as tea, or used to soak bandages to be applied as a poultice. Very refreshing, indeed.

This appears to be a rare, desktop model Appalachian moonshine still, complete with an attachment to add fruit or chocolate flavoring. Very desirable in mountain society circles.

Actually, I think this could be a fondue pot straight from the middle ages. It holds both chocolate and cheese. Can be used in dip-it-yourself mode, or use the handy dipping arm.

its clearly a steampunk perpetual motion machine. sometimes known as a spritzjig, it is supposedly the worlds most useless device. pouring boiling weater into the top "kettle" starts off the process. the escaping steam collects on a parabolic mirror(not shown in the picture) and drips through the two beakers into a third(also not shown) which in turn heats water in the kettle. its a pretty clever little machine. except that it doesnt work.

Hah! You guys are very creative - the right answer is a dental lab gas burner, which no one got right.

So, in the spirit of neatness, I've decided to give the shirts to two people with the funniest captions. Congrats to Mr. Binky ("goldfish themepark") and Tigergal39 ("mutant cow milker").

it's a coffee machine!

It's a perfume distiller

it's an antique device for carbonating wather (put carbon dioxide in the water) for making the "sparkling water"

We received the shirt the other day, thank you very much! My teeny 9 year old has been wearing the extra-large tee-shirt for "jammers" (pajama's) every night, she is so thrilled to have won. THANKS!!!!!!!!!
