…he’s moonlighting as a scientific glassblower. Just as Harper has his infatuation with larger-than-life scientific instruments, so does his cousin. This must be genetic.
Whoa. You’ve got waaaay too much time on your hands at work. (Of course, after thoroughly checking out that web site, I guess I do to 
).
I want a baby one!!!
Im not sure what they are used for, but they are kool. lol
Wow. That scares ME. Berkeley’s a third world country. I could get hurt there. Oh, that’s my cousin. That’s OK, he takes his own chances.
Dang Harper, I wish I had a cousin with glassblowing skills.
It’s a handy thing to have if you need a clean recondensor for your still.
Better not use one of those Klein bottles he’s blown for that - either the hooch never goes in or (worse), never comes out…
I can think of a few cool things to do with that…
those glass thing are the equilivent of 3D mobius strips
I wonder if he’s made a bong from a klein bottle?
now that would be something to see
I can see it working
like the weed and water & stuff go in the bootom chamber then heat and breathe throught the bottom hole
Nope. Only eight hours each day.
I’d like a baby Harper too, but only on the condition that it would not grow into a full-sized Harper. That would be a catastrophe.
Somewhere on the site he said he wouldn’t do such a thing, since it would require destroying the one-sidedness of the bottle to implement the necessary plumbing.
They’re 3D immersions of the 4 dimensional Klein bottle and they’re used for …
well, they’re not very useful at all, really 
But they make mathmatical types giggle. (the Klein bottle is analogous to a mobius strip, but in one more dimension - as I recall, it has only one surface and encloses no volume). www.kleinbottles.com sells hats knitted into this pattern, mobius scarves, klein bottle drinking glasses, etc.
Completely utterly bonkers - but good fun.
I’d be worried about sticking my head in an object that mathematicians tell me has no volume.
The good news would be that the hat could never be inside out.
