Description
Magnetic oil sump plug. This is a component of a motor vehicle's engine, and has here been used to collect particles of steel from the engine to reduce further wear and tear. The particles of steel (top) are attracted to the sump plug because it has been made into a permanent magnet. The oil sump in an engine is a reservoir into which oil that is lubricating the engine drains and from where it is recirculated.
