See the challenge question that our winner correctly answered.

Our winner answered the question correctly. Please visit the www.TheTruthAboutForensicScience.com FaceBook fan page.

Our Geek of the Week answered:

A. This is generally called a simulator.
B. Guth 34C model.
C. Simulate a human breath test to check calibrations of the breath tester.
D. NIST Mercury-in-Glass serialized reference thermometer. The Simulator must be heated to 34 degrees C. The thermometer tells the monkey that that it is okay to push a button to run a check.
E. If the intended purpose is to support convictions of innocent people, then yes. However, if the intended purpose is to simulate a human breath, it does not do that. It is a closed container heated to a controlled temperature. A human is not a closed jar and the temperature is not controlled. A human has too many variables to be compared to a closed jar.

[BLOGGER’S NOTE: Just to amplify…. Glen is right. We blogged on related issues at: Breath testing theory for ETOH is wrong and unscientific]
