So Simple It's Almost Embarrassing
Back-Story... I made these ‘Dumb’ Water-Height indicators several years ago and used them until recently when I changed to Digital sensors, but...
There was something missing from the ‘ambience’ and when a friend said, “Hey, what happened to the Bobbing Straws? I like them”, I immediately realized ‘that’ was what I’m missing.
There’s something about the Straws Dynamically Bobbing around from the ‘pumped-in air’ agitation of water, yielding a Dynamically ‘Live’ performance. Roll one, light it, turn the music on and watch them dance!
(versus Static On/Off LED light).
So, the Bobbing Straws are Back!
Parts:
Guides for Two Drinking Straw diameters
Bucket-Lids differ: some are flat, some are sloped//curved. If wanting a Holder for the Guide, I have several designs - one may work for you. Message me and we'll figure it out as needed. I no longer bother with the Holders as I now use Flat bucket lids.
Setup:
The Straw-Guide has a Smal
