Whats this?
I love quirky stuff and this caught my eye.
There is a prize of 50p waiting for the person who can tell me what this is and how it was made.
SPOILER WARNING!!
the answer is at the end of page 2, nobody won the 50p

I have no idea but if you go to the doctors they may remove it for you. Does it hurt?

I was thinking it could be for a water circulating geothermal system, but as this link explains there are types that recirculate the refigerant itself
and use 14 ground loops per bore hole.

One of the pics shows an alternative style of manifold.

it is actually an exhaust manifold for a model pratt and whitney 14 cylinder radial engine
it was made by eltro-deposition over a low temp alloy core.

Cool, do you have a picture of the engine? I presume it's two banks of seven cylinders?
