Thunderstorm over Novi (less good quality, full storm)
I caught another thunderstorm over my apartment complex similar to the one I recorded previously; this one was also over in about 45 minutes. I had just come back from traveling and I was cooling my apartment down to the temperature I normally keep it at, so my air conditioner was running through this full video, which negatively impacted the audio quality, but many other air conditioners were running because it was a warm day. Also, a few times the wind was nearly strong enough to blow my tripod over. I hope you enjoy.

Performed in my office's parking lot. I supplied the FOH sound. System is Renkus TRX121/9 over Community VBS112 (with upgraded DIYSG "Magnum" 12" woofers), power is Crown XTi2 series, and console is Soundcraft Si Expression. After this event, I decided a subwoofer upgrade was necessary, but there was enough bass for the parking lot (amazingly) from just two 12" subwoofers. The subwoofer grille ...

Bose PowerProfile (Cadillac CT6) Bass Enclosure - CEA 2010 Bumps

Here's the Bose PowerProfile bass enclosure from the Cadillac CT6 playing 7-cycle shaped tonebursts (the same used for CEA 2010 subwoofer testing) at 20 Hz, 31.5 Hz, 40 Hz, and 50 Hz.

These tonebursts are typically used for driving subwoofers to maximum burst output levels without causing the amplifier or woofer to experience thermal compression or ...

Filling up UA-cam with more rain videos. This is in the morning at my apartment complex. Vehicles show up toward the end (4:35), making noise, and a garbage truck is in the area. Too bad a nice rain like this had to happen on a Wednesday, which is trash day around here.

Rain bazooka aimed at us today. Surprise nearby lightning strike at 2:37 (with nice warm yellow flash) and another one after that made me think again about being outside. Otherwise, just some nice rain. Video quality isn't the best, because something caused it to be a little out of focus.

    ahhhh, compressed air... some people mention steam, not really suitable unless you wanna deal with corrosion and babying it... and steam with all the safety valves and pressure gets a bit fiddly... but simply heating the incoming air, replacing that heat lost in compression and maybe adding a bit besides, does wonders for increasing output/reducing consumption. reasonably easy to do with a gas burner. only need to get 100C or so. the "ideal situation" is when the cylinder remains at slightly above ambient... cold is bad, cold is air not fully expanding, and attempting to absorb heat as it tries to expand. and unbearably hot is just a waste of energy, radiating away rather than adding to power by any appreciable amount. air may not have the thermal mass of steam, about half, but it doesnt have to experience a phase change with its invariable and unavoidable loss of 80%... without being able to vary the cutoff and expansive operation, it will mostly increase output and have relatively little affect on consumption though... "1/8 hp", but remember, thats just torque over time, and the torque is what counts... ie, Pressure, Length of stroke, Area of piston, Number of revolutions/min, all together, PLAN for HP...

      The drivers are PRV D4400Ph-Nd. I used a 6" round exponential horn with a short flare; the ones I bought were from BlastKing. These components are sold for the crazy car audio constructions that are common in South America but they are well adapted to the use case of an LRAD-type speaker using the modular arrangement where an array of sources is built up to the necessary directivity and SPL characteristics that are needed. Also, any full range amplifier that can supply around 800-1600W into the load should provide excellent output; the one I bought to eventually use is 3000W but in this video I'm only using about 100W. Using more power might require DSP filtering to avoid overdriving the compression drivers at low frequencies.

      You need to use a lot of them together to get a useful amount of output, and normally in a cost-sensitive environment it's cheaper to use a single larger driver, if it can be fit into the available space.

      Be sure to consider power loss in the belt drive also. If I had a 1/2 or 1 HP motor, I think it would be happier; right now the motor seems to run warm. I also have to investigate a possible issue with the upper bearing in my blower - right now it warms up to around 140-160 degrees F, which is not above the allowable temperature rise, but when I tried tensioning the belt to what seemed like a normal full tension, the blower overheated and began to seize (it was fine after a cool-down), and the motor bearings were also not happy. I loosened it a bit and it seems happier now but it has me concerned.
