Guess what this is

[Lilliputt]

Oh... then it must be a ... uhm... heat thingy, yes

[Crimsonthread]

Yes, it's used for heating something... but what?

[Lilliputt]

To heat the sleeping bag

[Crimsonthread]

Silly Lilli! No!

[RBS]

coffee?

Edit: Silly Lilli...LOL. I should have thought of that!

[Crimsonthread]

Noooope..... It's used for cooking food. There are two names that will work. Two words in the name: What it cooks and how it cooks it.

[Lilliputt]

A copper corn boiler?

[Crimsonthread]

The silly Lilli got it! Bean boiler would have also been acceptable.

[Lilliputt]

OH! ... thank you
Well, it's very late and I have to get some sleep. I hope someone would like to take my turn. Bye, ya'll

[RBS]

[Animal Dragon]

a blimp with fan thingies?

[RBS]

actually those fan thingies are 4 full size helicopters with pilots. This was built for a specific purpose but this design failed miserably.

[Lilliputt]

Looks like a helicopter-airship hybrid

EDIT: OH! The PA-97 Helistat

Fortunately this one had helium instead of hydrogen. Few people even know about this one but it suffered the same fate as the Hindenburg at the very same airfield.

Edit: Yay Lilli. I saw it last night on Discovery Channel. WTG

[Lilliputt]

Thank you
What is this?
