Interesting. I'll try to watch it.
How long do you suppose it will take the History Channel to tie this
device in with Nostradamus, Bigfoot, and Area 51?
I hope it doesn't happen tonight.

I think those Greeks pulled a fast one. That looks like the rotary intake
valve on a SeaDoo 550 twin, the standup model. Somebody's jetski sunk....

It could also be the rotating shutter on a Cinemechannica 35mm movie
projector, too! See the 4 quadrants, two opaque while we jerk in the next
frame opposite two open to send the light on to the lens?
