Parabolic reflectors are pretty handy devices. Whether you’re building a microwave antenna or a long-distance directional microphone, suitable commercial dishes aren’t that hard to come by.

This focussing effect is very strong with wavelengths less than the aperture of the reflector, making it particularly suitable for recording high frequency sounds such as birdsong. Schematic diagram ...

Parabolic reflectors for solar applications are nice stuff, and making your own is a great project in itself. One of the easiest ways we have seen is that of [GREENPOWERSCIENCE], who uses nothing ...

Parabolic space heaters are a type of infrared heater that use a parabolic reflector to aim the heat in a concentrated beam.

A parabolic mirror leverages the reflective property of the parabola to focus light rays. Used in devices like solar heaters and parabolic reflectors, this application showcases the efficiency of ...

Also called a "dish" or "mirror," parabolic antennas are used for satellite signals and planetary telescopes. The reflective mirror design can also emit energy such as in a flashlight or ...

Three deep-dish parabolic reflectors produce a tight spot beam to aid in navigation, while two ultra-bright blue LEDs illuminate the lantern’s taillights. It delivers 400 lumens, 25,000 candela ...
