A major power tool maker has come up a product so unique and ahead of its time that it has set the engineering tech industry on alert.
According to a report in Engineering Machinations Weekly, this apparent marvel of the jobsite has a myriad of functions that will, say the makers, set it light years apart from other tools. It’s the brainchild of a special international team of nano-engineers and ergo-chemical researchers working for almost six years inside the product development labs at Black & Ecker and funded by the Payne Society and CDAP. The facility is located in the foothills of Alberta, near Sylvan Lake.
The product features the latest nano-chip technology combined with bits that will resist temperatures of 2,500 degrees Celsius, in a laser-designed outer shell that can withstand impacts equivalent to the discharge of a 105mm howitzer.
There’s only one problem. Nobody knows what the tool actually does. The mechanism of the device is so sophisticated that none of the researchers on the team has yet to determine what functions it can perform—or even how to hold it.
The final model materialized a little over six months ago. On completion, a special advisory team was put together to unravel the inner workings. After three months they finally figured out how to turn the tool on.
“There’s no question that this apparatus embodies the very latest advancements that have been developed for the power tool industry,” said Dr. Darwin Mohr, who heads up the team (shown here in his lab).
“The actual functions it can perform have yet to be understood and confirmed, but we are confident that it is destined to revolutionize the trades, house building, and even what workers will put in their lunches. But for now, we have it holding open the door to the furnace room.”
