Herb Spiral
While not an actual “spiral,” many of the brilliant principles behind an herb spiral are present in this bucket-based garden tower.
Parabolic Microphone
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.
What is a Parabolic Microphone?
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.
Bucket Truck
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.
