Week 25: 7/22/2015 - 9pm PDT 7/29/2015

We're not kidding when we say CERN scientists and engineers really get into their work. Check out at this CERN scientist looking down at his.. uh, experiment. We're not sure exactly what this device is. There is a sealed chamber, but is it a vacuum, or some sort of specialized atmosphere for the research this scientist is working on? Either way, he seems very interested in whatever is happening inside this box!

So what's happening here? High energy physics, or some new coffee maker?

You tell us!

This week's prize is once again a Teensy 3.1 from The Hackaday Store.

Add your humorous caption as a comment to this project log. Make sure you're commenting on this contest log, not on the contest itself.

As always, if you actually have information about the image or the people in it, let CERN know on the original image discussion page.

Darn it! I should have known that adding a wormhole generator to my squirrel's cage might let it escape!

Even though the normal vacuum tubes were cheaper, Bob used his homemade vacuum tube in order to avoid an extra trip to the store.

Mystery surrounded the Energy Production Deparpment's methods and research.  Even the occasional scientist chasing a hampster down the hall didn't completely clear things up.

After 5 years and $2.5 million in R&D, Dr. Maxwell poses with what he calls a "3D Printer", whatever that is.

Camouflaged as a computerized bong, this device spawned countless adult toys in the future, but the beta was a phallic failure.

At that time CERN scientists realized that the cat was nor dead or alive, but hiding inside the keg of the beer dispenser.

By use of a clear enclosure, scientists were finally able to check on Schrödinger's cat without risking a face full of hydrocyanic acid
