Jowlabar · Chemical Engineering

This object consists of two halves, one of which is roughly conical, the other which is cylindrical. Each of these halves is punched all over with round holes 0.5cm in diameter. The two halves are connected by a metal ring out of which two short rods emerge opposite of each other. This ring allows the two halves to be unscrewed and separated.
