    6:13 That's actually not too far off. They have the same shape as satellite dishes (a paraboloid) because they're both parabolic mirrors (this is an acoustic mirror, and satellite dishes are radio mirrors), which reflect all rays parallel to their axis to a single point, called the focus, where a receiver is located. You can see these acoustic mirrors in science museums nowadays.

      Kinda. Not the entire gun, the idea was closer to giving a machine pistol a bendi-rifle shaped stock. You only put the barrel/hammer and magazine around the corner but not the two handed stock you held on to safely out of sight. The rest of the gun shaped stock was for the electronics and camera etc so you can aim.

    the krummlauf wasn't a failure.
    it wasn't made for "shooting around corners" it was made for tank crews to defend against infantry trying to climb the tank, the bullets fragmenting inside the bent barrel was by design as that, combined with it being on a submachine gun, generated a stream of shrapnel that would be lethal enough at close range and the low durability wasn't an issue as tank crews weren't supposed to even get into that situation.

    Acoustic mirrors may have been short lived, but they were brilliant. You may be able to hear an airplane before you can see it: How do we make it easier to hear? Let's exploit the inverse square law with a parabola (same shape as satellite dishes) to reflect all incoming sounds to a single point and post a soldier there to listen. It was a perfectly human idea. Have a problem, find a solution based off of what we know. Then radar came along and even the people promoting acoustic mirrors took one look at it and said, "yeah, that's much better."

      Yeah the idea is really quite brilliant and I'm excited, had never heard of it but now I want to build one or two on my land for the hell of it once I'm building and being prepper-ish XP I mean, why not? Would be cool to be able to hear approaching vehicles from way far away when you're in the middle of nowhere

    Often overlooked detail about the Krummlauf, it was ment for full auto weapons like the STG44 to be used inside tanks to kill infantry trying to mount the tank and preventing them from accessing the hatches.
    Which kinda goes to show how well tank combat was going for Germany, if that was a major concern

    Those "acoustic ears" had a display, of sorts, at Iowa's old Science Center (before the new one was built). They were several meters apart, and all you had to do was go up and talk to it, and the other person could hear you with perfect clarity. They blew my mind as a kid. I remember the other kids having a blast with those-who needed cellphones with these things around? XD

    This sound amplifiers actually work fundamentally the same as a sattelite dish only with sound waves instead of em radiation. The dish focuses the waves at a point a little away from dish. If memory serves that little arm thingy on sattelite recivers is itself the receiver for those waves bouncing off the dish.

      Yeah I would religiously watch through and take notes on a series of reacts to every Extra History episode, or even like special long overview reacts where he covers groups of EH episodes at a time or whatever. They're a great series-of-serieses and I love the context and framing that Mr. Terry adds to everything. It really helps the info stick for me.

    The revolver mouse trap actually works. I've seen a channel that shows different mouse trap designs and even tests them out. The revolver the guy had was unloaded, but it shows it does function as it should.
