What is this?

I work on alot of high end houses, think 5 million plus.

I was clearing out a clients furnace room. This room also contains water heaters, pool pumps, pool filters, and a whole house revers osmosis system with several water bladders to keep pressure in the house.


This was laying in a pile of junk. When you plug it in, it spins and vibrates in a consistent way.
There is a weight attached to the inside on one side and a fan on the other.
There is a switch on the wire to turn it on way to close to the unit for it to be submerged in any meaningful way beyond 5 inches.

The home owner doesn't know what it is. I can't find any information online about the company.
Ai says it's a sander.
Google images says it's a pump.
No one I show knows what it is.
Wtf is this. All I can think is it is some type of vibration unit. Like a table vibrator or something.

Anyone got any ideas?
I took 3 pictures of it before folding it up and putting it away.

Jeet shaker?

Plug it

With that fan it should have an universal motor, so it's not for continous duty and certainly not a pump
That rubber and plastic screws can't possibly hold sandpaper

Apparently that city was well known for it's vibrators https://www.mixedmetaphorsohmy.com/2014/03/16/the-vibrator-story/

It could be from a vibration sieve or maybe for cleaning pool sieves with vibrations or maybe for shaking salt brine in reverse osmosis filters

>>2920551 (OP)
as an engineer the plastic bolts are a VERY odd choice and, combined with the black rubber base and your description, tell me that setup is clearly designed for vibration, so yeah, it's some kind of intentional vibrator

>>2920551 (OP)
Was there any kind of dry filter media in a hopper for any of the filter systems? That would shake the hopper and keep dry materials flowing instead of caking and bridging.

>>2920725
Plastic bolts so you can't over torque it? Or maybe so that they wear faster than whatever metal it's clamped to?

Op here. I appreciate everyone's ideas. I got no fucking idea. I ended up settling on the idea it vibrates the side of a hopper to keep stuff flowing.

I was hoping it was obvious to someone and it was just like a ahah!


I keep wanting to think it's for some type of pool system because I found it near the pumps.
Maybe it vibrates and prevents that shock shit from Caking.

I don't know. I'm open to any other ideas. Im staying in the thread till it dies.


Next time Im there and it isn't weird I'll go get a picture of the switch on the cord and if I got time plug it in and get a video.

Not that I saw or understood. But I keep wanting to associate it with pool stuff because of where I found it. But he uses it as a storage room too. So there's tons of stuff

I'm leaning heavily to it being a consumer level hopper vibrator left behind from his initial pool installation. Maybe it helps put all the shock into the system during install? Idk I never done that kind of work. But it's built similar to hopper vibrators.

This is just like a giant version of it. It has weights just like that on one side and a fan, I assume, to cool the motor during operation, cause if wasn't blowing shit.

Reasonable but think that would still be an odd design, vibrating something through a hopper then drawing whatever dust it produces into the motor

The moulding and patent application says mass production but still it would be a very niche part

They're mounted outside the hopper so not really in the extreme dust. I have bought a couple of those orange ones off e-bay to someday mount to a blast cabinet.

open it up and post its guts

it’s a machine you plug a ac to create a vacuumed space for that huge space in the room to…

They used to be big in motels.

Jesus Christ thank you.

It's weird it's in the guys house.

these screenshots make me want to kill you, jesus christ save this man. honestly though you sound chill but phone posters are the worst at photos and screenshots despite having a screenshot and camera machine all the time everywhere they go, i mean, look at this shit ... this is a selfie. i'm sick of this shit.

Quite a few people buy them for home use.
My last gf bought a queen-size bed that folds much like a hospital bed. (raise the head and knees while the feet and butt stay down) It also had the vibrator function built-in. It's very relaxing to turn it on for five minutes or so before going to sleep.
Many recliner chairs have vibrators and/or back massage functions.

>>2922678
I live in the woods and don't care if phone posting offends. The images conveyed what I wanted and it's not really my problem it hurt your feelings man.

Buy me a computer.

This probably explains it. He's like that. He has unopened boxes everywhere.

>>2922678
I can't stop thinking about how no one asked, no one else cared and your in here taking your daddy issues out on random folks as if you arnt the problem.

God damn why dont you faggots go get a therapist instead of expecting me to fix 30 years of being molested by your dad and ignored by your mom.

You know what I hate more than screenshots?

Bitches. Whiney little emotional bitches.

>>2922678
Fag.

>>2922685
You telling me this, I'm thinking of grabbing it since he doesn't want it and attaching it to my own recliner. It sounds comfy

>>2920551 (OP)
5 million plus! Fuck that IS a lot of houses! How do you find the TIME?

>>2923774
They use to be 2 million dollar houses.

I rather be insulating old ladies attics and fixing pipes but everyone decided that the only economy that exists and the only people there matter are the 10%.

I rather build you a shed than wind up garden hoses and I stall cold plunges.
I didn't invent these conditions.

>>2923776
remember about the egg.

>>2923839
Bounty exist to be shared. Not hoarded.

Do good.
