Now, what's it called, and in what country was it taken? This is the quintessential vehicle of the country involved.
ETA: Sorry about the camera shake, LOL. |
Were you there recently? |

Last time I was there was in 2005, I think. This particular shot was taken in 2003. Holy cats, that's almost a decade ago now! |

I knew what they were called, but I couldn't remember the story or country. So, I looked at the window sticker and googled the name of the city on the sticker.
I'll post something soon. |

| Though the facets are designed to interface with a wrench, this is definitely not a fastener. |

A bottom view
Also, a 3/8" wrench is used on it, but not to tighten or loosen any threaded joints.
That's not a hole in the middle, it's solid material.

No and no.
The outside is titanium. This version runs a bit over $400 |

A surface sensor of some type?
|

It's a sensor, yes. You mount it to a surface, this one requires and adhesive bond, others use threaded studs or mount directly on circuit boards.
What does it measure?
I know many millions of people are carrying them as part of another device.

Bingo.
It's a miniature piezoelectric accelerometer. It gets glued to the surface that I need the vibration measurement from. It's faceted to allow removal using a wrench to twist it off rather than just breaking it off, which can overload and damage the sensing element inside.
