Was it found in Penn. or NM?
The Naval Air Development Center (NADC), was an old aircraft factory in
Johnsville PA turned into an R&D facility (according to Wiki). Now closed.
They were probably testing early catalytic converters for use in vessels where
carbon monoxide was a threat. It could easily be 70 years old and of different
(i.e. triangular channel) construction whereas modern converters are
rectangular.
Hope you did not pay much for it Frank, but the good news it will contain some
precious metals - palladium, platinum etc.
If not then it is more of mystery.
Stealing converters has become a major criminal activity out here in CA as some
of them have hundred of dollars worth of precious metals, the older the better.
No questions asked.
Hi Jones, Good point. I looked at some scap metals web pages to see the inside
details of some of the older cataytic converters, and their Platinum channels
look similar... as you pointed out, but there are some differences. All the
catalytic converters that I saw there had square channels of platinum. But
Frank's channels were triangular. <><><>
<><><>And Frank's parts he described as Ceramic. Could they be
carbon or graphite? Because he said one of them looked burnt or charred on one
side. Maybe it came from the cleanup crew army vehicle. Is it possible the
very first catalytic converters were built that way- with a ceramic?Maybe it
was some kind of early heat exchanger... or perhaps it was of extraterrestrial
origin. It needs some testing. Colin

Good thing for us tree huggers that those aliens used catalytic converters
on their UFOs ... ;-)
Takes a lot of fuel to get here from Proxima Centauri b and that is a big no-no
Actually (before someone brings up the point) - the catalytic converter was
indeed invented before the Roswell incident.
Here is the inventor.

This is not to suggest that the artifact isn't of extraterrestrial origin...

Hello Frank, (Long time...) Thank you for bringing that to our attention.
That is truly fascinating. What is the story behind the acquisition? Has the
material been lab tested? Type of ceramic, atomic structure, etc? (I wish my
late friend Nick Reiter was still alive. He would love to test it.) Have you
or anyone else applied any kind of high voltage, or electromagnetic energy
while weighing the samples?

I had a chance to get my hands on the debris.
