Zigackly! What a coincidence that Mk would start a thread on exactly the same thing!turbo-1 said:I think Gokul is showing us what a Dewar of liquid nitrogen looks like.
Ah yes, it looks like a lightbulb in an explosion-proof housing. Operating room?GeoMike said:Nope.
I cropped the original photo because there was a big clue on the section I cropped out.

Obviously, it's a construct sitting on top of my computer.
I got it! It's a dodecahedron extended into a star.Evo said:No one has guessed this yet. Although Gokul was very close.
Yes!, it is a dodecahedron! Dave, you're awesome.DaveC426913 said:I got it! It's a dodecahedron extended into a star.
Every vertex has five struts. Thus, if you trace the 5 of each vertex back to a face, you get one face of a dodecahedron.
(And now that I know that, I can see that it also has 12 points, which is how many faces a ddh'n has)
According to the wikipedia this is probably correct.DaveC426913 said:Been trying to find a proper name for it. Would that be a "stellated" dodecahedron?
