OK, it's a $7. oil filter wrench, but possibly useful for a grasping appendage or other mechanism.

If you want to read about it, go see patent 348814 (I love Google patents):

Re: Interesting widget

Smart. I could see myself modding that into some sort of powered brake system for an arm, or some cylinder gripping thingy.

Cool find!

Since it's made to grip oil filters, it should also do a decent job of gripping this interesting object from the end.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
