You have the solar farm wrong. There are many mirrors on the ground that reflect light onto the towers which in turn get hot and produce steam to run generators.
That looks like the Ivapah thermal facility, and the description is backwards. There's an array of mirrors on the ground reflecting the sun onto a flat black absorber taking up the heat into a transfer fluid. In this case the fluid is water and it's directly driving turbines. 1.6 billion tax dollars went into it.
I have heard that the mirror on the piece of furniture was to check that the seam in a pair of hosiery was straight when getting dressed, as most wall mirrors weren't that low. I don't know if this is true, but it is an interesting answer.
Some older folks might remember the “cake rake” shown at 7:15 stuck in afros (hair) of African Americans back in the Seventies. It was a popular affectation back then.
I think 6:10 is mislabeled. I think it a cullet which is a recycled, broken, or waste glass used in glassmaking. Slag is usually brown and has bubbles in it. In an effort to better dispose of defective glass from their rolled glass business, Kokomo Glass of Indiana purchased a marble machine from Peltier Glass and manufactured marbles utilizing only their own post production cullet.
@@isabellavalencia8026 Slag glass is a term used to describe a certain type of glassware but the name is derived from the dross of the iron industry. Cullets are raw glass used to create new glass. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@ 2:30 It is a suicide proof clothing hook. If you hang anything with more than a few pounds it will let the rope/ belt whatever slip off. They are commonly found in hospitals and rehab facilities.
At 10:18. You have it backwards. The panels reflect the sunlight up to the tower where it heats up a liquid that is then used to generate electricity. It is in Yermo.
Ivory is difficult to sell due to endangered species protection laws. Paperwork that certifies ivory as legitimately antique is required. In the late 1960s cake breakers were adapted for picking out Afros when dedicated hair picks weren't always avaiable.

I had to alight at the turbine engine and stand! My husband is a retired aeronautical engineer and I’ve seen plenty of engines in stands when they test the engine. Most were quite a bit larger than this one! I’m happy I got one immediately😃😃😃
5:31 Not the plane. I was a flight attendant. In Dulles these went from one terminal to the other terminal and would transfer people between terminal. Trains put these out of busyness.
I recall in the 80s these went from the trial gate to the plane, this in Dulles. It was explained to me that it saved the apron space that would have been used for jetways.
When Dulles was designed, it was for beauty - not function. Planes could not get near the terminal and these moving lounges were designed to pick up the passengers and carry them to the plane. The tall towers on top top the bus contained part of the hydraulic system that raised the lounge up to the plane level. They built a second terminal at Dulles that allowed planes to pull up beside it. At that point the moving lounges were used to transfer passengers between the terminals.
Your right! However, This is a large array of movable mirrors called "Heliostats" designed to reflect sunlight onto the top of the towers which collect huge amounts of thermal power. This is used to generate electric power which is sold to Las Angelis. The process a bit more complicated especially when they collect sunlight during the day and sell in the evenings at a higher rate. redrok AD0TJ
The video stated the white cone thing was a roof vent cover, and the secret door on the furniture was so a mirror could be inserted to make the furniture appear fancier.

I wasn’t sold on their answer either.

The cake rake make a great English muffin cutter, more even than ripping apart ! Never fit in silverware trays though...

Yep. Every kid in my neighborhood had one in junior high, like in 1973.

Slag glass can be any color

@@matthewrinehart2367 you are correct
It turned out to be an ivory puzzle ball, but I misunderstood. I thought the puzzle ball was just there for scale and guessed banana.

I wish when he reuses his clips he would fix his mistakes. This is about a year old.
It also destroys birds and pollen/bacteria.
It is in a small town called dagget (sp). It has been there are least 40 years.

I remember those days😁
6:08 - OMG the little green guy has a !@#$
At 7:70 the cake slice tool was used mostly for angel food cake wich is very delicate and crushes with knife.
The Mirrors on the Desk can also be used for Security Purposes, you see movement inthe reflection.
VIOLA
PEEK A BOO
Really one if my favorite kind of posts. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
No unknown object this week, I see. However the last one appears to be causing controversy.😊
It is not a cake breaker, It is a cake tine.....
The "bag hanger" looks more like a valve control to me. It's not mounted incorrectly. And it's in a bathroom, so...
Thank you! I like this type of video ! I like to pause and try to figure out what the items are. It is interesting too. IMO
I'm so glad!
The cake tine-- actually more for angelfood cake.

Please,pardon the lousy typing in the 4th word - I have no idea what I was trying to say🤪🤪
Thanks for sharing!
I do not believe that the item at 2:38 is for a tattoo machine. Looks too heavy for that. It may be for some sort of engraving but not skin.
5:31 Not the plane. I was a flight attendant. In Dulles these went from one terminal to the other terminal and would transfer people between terminal. Trains put these out of busyness.
I believe that I have seen these pull up to a plane with passengers. Transporting passengers from one terminal to another may be another use.

You are wrong. I rode these to and from planes at Dulles more than once.
When?

I have really bad gas.
I agree that this is NOT a solar farm. Solar farms have dozens of solar panels, not just 3. There's a solar farm right next door to me.

Why are you leaving out some of the descriptions of some items. Like the white cone thing and the secret door on the furniture piece?
The video stated the white cone thing was a roof vent cover, and the secret door on the furniture was so a mirror could be inserted to make the furniture appear fancier.
Do it correctly!
