Wheat threshing and winnowing
Some people thrash it against a slab of wood or stone.The most ancient I suppose is just tossing it in the air allowing the wind to blow the chaff away with the wheat falling to the ground.
This guy made a homemade seed separator.
He first uses a paint mixer to separate the components...
Then he allows it to fall through a device that uses the wind from a vacuum cleaner to separate it.In motion, it is very impressive.

This tractor starts by smacking a blank shotgun shell with a mallet.
One method of starting equipment before onboard batteries won out entirely was to use blank shotgun shells or other starter cartridges. Here’s an example of a Field Marshal tractor starting.

Some planes used the same method.- not a video -
My brother even worked on a jet bomber that utilized the same system...I think.

See anything...odd?
An unconscious Babe Ruth running into a wall after chasing after a foul ball during the first game of a doubleheader with the Senators in 1924.
Playing first base in the Little League I dove for a foul and hit my head on the chainlink fence post. Opened my eyes and twelve people were standing around me wide-eyed. I was pissed they took me out of the game.

That seems familiar. Hope I didn't post it twice.
But interestingly, the answer given with that puzzle is NOT the highest number. Good luck.

puzzle answer 9805? two matches from right hand number, one going to first, one going to second. Didn't try upside down, tho
puzzle time...move the horizontal sticks from the first zero and make a 1...place them before the 5. New number is 151,108.
puzzle time ... actually move the horizontal sticks from the first zero and make a 1 ... place them AFTER the 8. New number is 511,081.
Nice try but you are about one million off
C11: what happened to the passenger?
Puzzle: place the new 1 at the end to make 511081
... or you can move two vertical sticks from the 8, turning it to a 3, then placing those so they make a superscript 11. So it becomes 5003 exponent 11. (i.e. 5003 to the 11th power)
Update to my last response. Remove two sticks from the 8 turning it into a 9. Place the parallel sticks as a superscript 11. Thus we have 5009 exponent 11.
I love you guys!
You're still wrong. Assume you are looking at the number 5008 upside down. 8005
Remove the two matchsticks in the first zero to make a "hat or carrot" symbol which denotes exponents.
Answer is 8 to the power of 1105.
