AT-AT Model Made from Old Computer Parts



Sage Werbock is a performing strongman who specializes in hauling enormous weights with his nipples. No, seriously, that's what his website indicates, although I didn't explore that section of it too far. You can do that if you want, but I'm going to focus on his blacksmithing work, and specifically, this AT-AT model that he welded together from scrap metal and old computer parts:

The main body is composed of power supply boxes from old computers, the head from floppy drive housings, legs and feet from various scrap metal. The entire piece has been welded together using the MIG welding process. Two coats of cold galvanizing primer are applied followed by a coat of varied grays and finished with two coats of protective gloss. The whole sculpture was randomly "attacked" with the welding arc to simulate battle scars.

Really?
I think it's a concave surface on the top to fit on the eye, with the extension on the back to partially block the eyelids from closing and to fit the light. With this mechanism you'll maybe be able to keep your victim from sleeping (due to the intense light) and ultimately dry out the eyes leading to permanent damage of the eyes.

see? that wasn't so hard.

it looks like one of them special lightbulbs you see in discos. when they light up the shape of the glass disperses the light properly and evenly.

An optical condenser/magnifier. The diameter is almost the same as the diagonal of a 35mm negative or slide so i'll guess it is used to transfer light from a lamp to the film.

A voble resonator, used to communicate with the deceased by mystics. Unlike other gimmicks, this one actually works. The unfortunate truth is, the dead say very little that is of use to the living.

"Uncle Benjamin, where did you bury the money?"

'oooo-ooooo, I'mmmmm deeeead, ooooo'

"Its me your nephew Charley, where is the money uncle Benjamin?

'ooooooooo, its daaaaaark heeere, oooooooo'

And so on.

ok, what it looks like to me is a light magnifier.

i saw something like it only a pyramid shaped one. below deck on old ships it was dark. and this may be one of those things that worked like a mini sky light. you put the narrow end above to catch the light and the wide end to disperse it below.

Much as chris stated above, it is a condenser, but what he neglected to mention is that its more important purpose is to even out a field of light, dispersing any hotspots or dark areas that may result from imperfections in the light bulb, reflector, or lensing system.

(1050 is a lug used to connect wires to buss bars in a breaker panel)

I think "Bobby the K" has identified it, except he has it the wrong side up. The big end should go up and the small end down, to bring light below deck on an old wood ship.
