AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around identifying the applications of various lab devices. The first device appears to function as a low-cost centrifuge, utilizing high-speed spinning to separate components. The second device is speculated to apply strong forces or measure height, though its exact purpose remains unclear. The third device raises questions about its unusual metallic strip design, with some suggesting it might be an electrical device intended to produce a current in conjunction with other components. Overall, there is a mix of humor and curiosity regarding the devices' functionalities, with a focus on their potential uses in a laboratory setting.

I think they were developed to torture grad students who didn't improve their grades enough.
 
1.: You can spin the top quite fast. If the attached metallic things can rotate as the comparison between the two images suggests, it could be used as cheap centrifuge.
2. Something to apply a strong force? A height measuring device?
3. Does the metallic strip look to be so weird on purpose?

Isn't it an electrical device in order to produce a current in combination with something else?!
 
I don't see how you would use together with electricity.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
