I had a friend who died several years ago who use to build oddball stuff in the name of art. This looks like some of his work.

The bottom hose on that thing is connected wrong. Move it to the top and it'll start right up. (don't be wearing anything metal when it starts)

I don`t know if you have anything stranger than this?

This is used in underwater salvage. A person gets into it, and is lowered to the ship/area that is being salvaged. A large claw is lowered into the water to pick apart the ship and bring it too the surface. The person looks through those portholes and communicates with the surface through the tether/air/communication lines to the ship above.

There is a muffler shop near here that takes the old mufflers and pipes and makes the craziest things out of them. Usually people and western motif stuff, but every know and then there is something over-the-top. I'll have to remember to take pics next time I drive by.

Main part looks like hydraulic pressure accumulator, but I'm not sure.
