Meet Ann a tireless thermal mannequin. She is used at my work in Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) studies. She breathes in nasty stuff so you don't have to.

This would make some great ad against smoking. That thing up her nose the screw in the head, the pipe thing stuck in her mouth. Man am I glad I stopped smoking! Never thought I could do it and now it will be 3 years this summer. I get weird feelings now and then but I don't miss them one bit! I wish we could just hire you to come clean up our mess. Even now we are still tossing stuff that stinks! Great shot Woody.

Pls send my regards to Ann and thank her !

Wow woody. When I first saw this I though Oh No where's the latex. But you explination sorted that out. Does she get medical insurance.

Aha, of course, thanks for that Rich.

The heat tape is to simulate the natural thermal plume that comes of a more "normal" human body. The tubes coming out of the mouth and nostril are pulling in air to sample from a simulated breathing zone. The intent is to determine the effectiveness of task or localized ventilation systems. --- Woody

Standard wear in some parts of London at the weekend :-)
It is, I agree, slightly disturbing, probably because the eyes are very real looking.

woody, is the resistance wire to heat her head or is it a sensor?
I am very interested in what the sensors can detect and why

Oh she has beautiful eyes.

this is a spooky picture woody and gives me the creeps, and i am very glad it has a use other than the image that originally ran through my head.

Bruce, the tape is a resistance heater, similar to what you wrap around pipes to keep them from freezing. --- Woody

Fascinating Woody. Looks like some fetish object! Are the bad wig and eyelashes really necessary?! Does the tape measure temperature?
