Alex Farris – Anarchestra
An evening pause: Who says you have to play the musical instruments that already exist? This guy decided he’d invent a few hundred of his own.
Hat tip Mike Nelson.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Screen shot looks like an afterburner injection shroud for a MIG-15.

MIG 15 did not have afterburners.
Many people, when looking at them, confuse the MIG 17 of the VietNam era with the 15 from the Korean War. The MIG 17 did have an afterburner. I have no idea about whether this came from a MIG or not. Given the primitive systems on the 17 I would think this piece was not from that either.
Here is a nice video showing the parts of “an” afterburner from an unknown jet engine.

Oh, here is a video of the two machines. Very similar designs. The 17 is much more refined and described as a “Pilots Airplane.”

Have fun.
FYI: This is an aircraft bypass turbofan daisy mixer. It mixes the bypass fan air with the hot core turbine exhaust. This increases thrust and reduces noise. I used to TIG weld these sections together for the Williams FJ44-2. They weren’t quite this big!! The mixer we produced had an off-the-shelf cost of about $8,000. Evidently the mixer this man is making music with must be an obsolete or damaged part. I would estimate an air-worthy one would be worth $25,000. These assemblies are made from stamped out sections that have to be fusion tack welded, hand-hammered on various mandrels for precision alignment and then hand fusion welded with inert gas back-up. Great work for a talented tin knocker! The material is usually 321 stainless.
