Reporting from Vancouver today with something I’ve never seen before – a 5 gallon bucket parabolic microphone!
I stared awestruck at this proud recording equipment today, cursing myself for not bringing a camera. This would have been the first bucket parabolic microphone on the internet.
A parabolic microphone looks like a satellite dish. It’s primarily used to collect and amplify ambient noise, such as the stadium noise being collected here.
Have you ever wanted to ride in a person-sized bucket, not over niagara falls – but up into the sky?
Probably not, but someone somewhere did have that vision and created the bucket truck.
Most people only see bucket trucks when there’s a downed power line – it’s a quicker and safer way to fix a blown transformer box than shimmying up a power pole with spiky boots and rope.
You’ll also hear them called “cherry pickers” by those who don’t speak electrician’s lingo.
This is the “girl next door” of bucket trucks — attractive yet attainable. It’s one of the most affordable bucket trucks ever sold.
We store about 25 Wall of Water individual plant greenhouses in a single 5 gallon bucket – that’s enough to shelter hundreds of pounds of tomatoes.
Back in the 1800s, everyone knew what these bright red buckets meant. They were as easily recognizable then as stop signs are today.
Most wine making guides really over-think the wine making process. They tell you to buy all kinds of equipment and additives that you don’t really need.
This tutorial is about stripping wine making down to the absolute bare minimum. It’s so simple that you can get going with just 5$ in equipment, and start a batch of wine in under a minute.
