NAIT grad Daniel Sayfullin builds a synthesizer
For his Electronics Engineering Technology capstone project, Daniel Sayfullin built a synthesizer from scratch in 15 weeks.
Called the Polaris, it is inspired by the Prophet 5, the world's first full programmable synthesizer. Designed in the late-1970s, the instrument featured prominently in the music of the 1980s, including Michael Jackson's Thriller.
For his efforts, Sayfullin and his project were shortlisted for a capstone of the year award from ASET, the Association of Science and Engineering Technologists of Alberta in September 2023.

One of the first products I saw in this video was the JustBio Fiber Hempcrete Block. Is your company still processing hemp for JustBio Fiber?
Simple and brilliant, nobody yelling nor 7 minutes intro 👌
Excellent trick to peel back the skin. Makes it much easier to roll and tie. Thanks

As soon as the wasps see the caution "wasp trap" sign they are going to stay well clear. I don't know... Some people are daft.
Such a wonderful experience
What is the dish soap for?
Dish soap breaks the tension of the liquid so the wasps sinks instead of flies away
Love the shout out to Forbes' food in this video.
Ha ha, I remember this day. I'm the guy wearing the Leftover crack T-shirt. I just starting my career as a Plumbing/ Building Inspector.

I just had to remove a drunken wasp that was swimming in my beer. They are all pathetic alcoholics.

My gramma made hers over a campfire & my mom fried hers in a pan. I'll need to try this oven method!
Does this help with lower back pain?
Yes it does.
i would love to make that but where do i get the bluecheese bacteriea ?
My grandma slayed 🤭🤭
Does this not attract bees?
Nope. The trap designer keeps honey bees in her yard and they don't touch this. They go for flowers.
and u never said about salt. so no salt? others video has salt
u didnt discuss what should our fridge looks like. cause i watch other video they put something charcoal, siliga gel, air fan inside their customize fridge to make the dry age meat successful
I'm glad to see a young lady stick welding. I don't know what rod you use but a 7014 would be my go to art rod. I use mostly Tig because it's so clean. Out of all the motorcycle art I've seen so far, you've got the best representation of one. Keep it up! Scrap is a great thing.
Super
She’ll be right mate
wow great
Josh is a great teacher, isn't he?
Can u please tell me where hemp paper is used ?
Очень понравились изделия. Здоровья и успехов!
Pretty cool! I just started making things with nuts and bolts, lots of fun.
Bruh He is like a Master!
very nice … is this what is called stick/arc welding?
I only have known flint and Steel. To be a flint rock and a carbon steel striker.for a primitive fire method. Mmm i don't known how the flint comes into it? Quite a big difference between the two methods. As ferrocerium burns twice as hot with the spark.And The U.S. is more inclined to have chert than flint also, would you agree. Other than that great video.😁👏👏👏💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥
Can I schedule a tour lol
Awesome!! Try also visiting my channel. Some of my works might engage your interest about metal art..hehe thank you!!
Nait? Is this in Barr head?
A ferrocerium rod and steel scrapper are NOT also known as flint and steel. LOL! Noobs should not pretend to be experts and should not make instructional videos.
Very nice

That's great to hear! Kate's a fantastic teacher!
What are the two items he is using? I’m sorry if this is a dumb question but I’m very new to outdoor survival
no problem! that's actually the flint and steel, or the fire striker, he also called it. if you went looking for that using that name, i'm sure any outdoor outfitter would know exactly what you were after. thanks for watching.
He's using a ferrocerium rod and a steel scrapper.
@@techlifetoday He's using a ferrocerium rod and a steel scrapper. That is NOT flint and steel.
@@nobs8862 Excellent. Thank you for clarifying!
@@nobs8862 agreed bro. Definitely NOT flint and steel.🤣🤣🤣👍
I came up with a much simpler trap/killer. Just a cereal bowl with some pop in it. Then a very quick spray of bug killer. They walk in and don't walk out. 24 hours and the entire surface was coated with dead yellow jacket hornets. Not one bee was harmed.
What kind of bug killer?
Excellent!
Awesome Job in making the Arrow with such Canadian Pride that will inspire many other for innovation. However, where is the Canadian Pride when we take the beautiful Arrow and place it in a tiny airport on the way to a beach or cottage 1.5 hrs from Toronto. If this was and American acheivement it would be in every Aerospace Museum like the first maned space capsule is. Really Sad.
Thanks it worked great
