Post pictures/screen captures of machines and devices found in MLP:FIM here for disgussion. I'll start things off.

 

I just watched the first episode of the series again, and something caught my eye. What in the world is that machine in Twilight's Canterlot library? This has been bugging me all day. What is this thing?

Looks to be a pot-belly stove, with a pressure guage, and slot machine handle. With an adjustable lamp/microphone hybrid on the right. But of course that would be ridiculous :P

 

This object is a magical distillery that is used for removing impurities in many different magical ingredients. It is simply called a "Magical Purifier". You place whatever you need purified into the hatch at the front. Then adjust the handle to set the correct tempurature to turn that material into a gas. The guage there is for monitering the temperature. The gas is filtered in the top, and all the unecessary materials blow out the top as a gas. All the useful materials stay in the bottom of the chamber, and then the temperature needs to be set down to turn the material back into a liquid. Next the liquid is sent through a complex filter at the bottom of the machine. And then the material gets sent back up, through the device you see on the right. The little black ball on the end is one last filter to remove the last little bit of impurities that might make it through.

 

This is an old model, which is no longer in use, and that is why it is in the Library. It is only used to show students of magical engineering of old times. Of course, it is taken outside before use. Last thing you want is to steam up the library with all that junk, right? There is a balcony right there that can be seen in the second pic, which is where they move it when demonstrating to students.

 

Hope that clears up any confusion. I try to keep informed when it comes to the magical sciences, and am always glad to spread the knowledge! :)
