OK,

Someone's got to be first to as

"What is it?"

[ken (69)]

Do you want a clue, Debs........it's made from scrap insulation material.

Hi Ken,
Is it a solar powered thingy?

[Curryandchips]

A modern version of a haybox (hotbox)? Seeing as this is the recipes board ...

[ken (69)]

Youse getting warm. MkII might be solar powered  :D
Have another go.
A prize to the first correct answer.

Tea cosy from bubble wrap??

Then I would continue the reasoning and suggest it is a kettle/water heater, using the insulation as a radiant heat pump, in the same (inverted) way that a wine cooler works. The object being to pre-warm the water, thus saving energy.

................another picture to follow (again with a prize) which Curry should get...

[MikeB]

The reason I managed to work it out Ken is that I went to save the picture so that I could enlarge it, and when I clicked on it it said teacosy.

[Curryandchips]

A prize for the wrong answer?

[grawrc]

And here I was thinking - since it was on your keyboard - that your mouse had premature babies and it was an incubator....? :P
