Today's video of the day is the salmon cannon. The device helps salmon get around man-made objects in the way of their journey upstream to spawn, and it looks like a fun ride. It works using pressure differencials to move the fish through a canvas tube and can even launch fish in the air over dams or other objects. The video is from EarthFixMedia and is a great example of a simple story within the channels nieche.
