DIY phonograph - sound recorder/player from aluminium foil and wood

To kill boredom and to show my kids some fun experiment - we all made a phonograph. This is really amazing device which allows to record and then play the sound. It was invented by Edison.
In my opinion it's really cool science experiment for kids and parents and schools.

[@oliverwilson5957]

I can't imagine how haunting it must've felt to hear your own voice being echoed back for the first time on a machine they invented

[@meiinuyasha]

go to that frnc guys recording that is the most scary sound i have ever heard

[@scaramouche7759]

If you cup your ears backwards, you can sort of hear your own voice. It sounds weird anyway.

[@kane1109]

I like how the kids are helping him💙

[@skillful_DIY_fan]

They also did like making it ;-)

[@nothingisreal6816]

So wonderful, such an interesting concept for the kids to learn. Bet none of their friends even know what a phonograph is!

​@@Robert-zx2df Bro, what?

[@Yottifferent]

The first recording device was actually the phonautograph invented by Leon Scott in 1857

[@alifr4088]

But he have no way to listen the audio back, untill... 150 years later...

[@NeapolitanNegus]

That was a phonoautograph. The difference being that phonographs record and play sound, whereas phonoautographs just visualise sound waves and simulate the functions of the human ear.

[@f40carz93]

@@NeapolitanNegus we were not even able to know what the Audio sounded like until 2008 when it was converted to sound digitally

[@TheBanMan]

@raffaeleangeloni9740 Technically, it did record the sound. And there were a number of sound playing devices already. (Player piano, music box, etc.) The phonograph was merely the first technology that could both record audio and play it back.

[@ryanstewart116]

​@alifr4088 the phonograph was invented like 20 years later, not 150

[@bellowphone]

This is wonderful. It gave me a big smile all the way through the video. Your happy boys are so lucky to have such a father.

[@skillful_DIY_fan]

Thanks You very much:)

[@tinovanderzwanphonocave544]

yeah, the tinfoil phonograph wasn't designed to carve its own grooves it had grooves in the Mandrell so the foil just had to be pushed in by the needle by the vibrations to form the recording so, thank you for showing this it was a great experiment!!

[@mr.blister4856]

This is so cool! I can now build my own! So great that the boys get to help and learn along the way. I will like and subscribe :)

Should be ok as long as they have adult supervision

[@nin34567]

I wonder what if the ancient civilizations could have invented this device and we could hear the voices of peoples that have lived during the ancient Roman,or Greek l,or Egyptian times.Hearing the voice of Alexander the Great,Homer,Aristoteles etc.Because this device seems simple,it was posible to be invented even during these times.What if we find these kind of recorings it would be amazing.

[@nutsocket]

amazing..thanks for sharing

[@dandanpudim]

I tried to make this phonograph but i didn't used a cylinder, i put the aluminium foil on a cd to record the voice, like a gramophone, and it works!!!

[@BrunoCortina]

Awesome experiment! It feels almost like magical, but it's obviously science. Three questions by the way: so, to reproduce what you recorded - what are you exactly doing? That'd be great to understand. Are you turning the cylinder the other way? and also, for each take you had to put new aluminum foil right? It is so interesting! Thank you for sharing, great content!

[@theclubjukebox]

Love it 😎👍🍻👏👏👏

[@SapphireEmperor]

SO Cool.

[@standard-carrier-wo-chan]

Would rubber work instead of an iron jar lid? I figured that it would probably record the sounds better since it's more stretchy, but I fear its not strong enough to etch on the tin foil.

[@wizardbob1087]

How did you get your voice sounding steady in the recording?

[@mimoslavija]

Nice

[@Soundwayv]

I really love this sad thing is I have no wood to make this or tools.

How did you make a hole in glass? In that jar

[@deprimat666]

I still don’t even understand how it captures sound like wtf lol. Even if it could some how produce what you’re saying,how does it capture the actual sound of voice..so crazy..nice video!

[@aqilkhan3637]

Dude thank god I'm not the only one... like how is this still possible no matter how much they demonstrate or explain it just seems magical, like who was the first person who had this idea to randomly put some stuff together and mess around with in every right way to give us what we have today

[@UniversityBand]

What is the white "bowl with a hole in it" you're using from 1:43 - 2:02?

[@mariaouadfel6870]

what is the oil you used please??? :/

[@DaCheeseIsEpicSubToHim]

what are the materials you used?

[@TopiVuorio]

I still dont understand how the needle can act as such a straight interface, meaning that the scratches that the needle makes, really do match the sound recorded.

[@kscape100]

Cool. how many RPMs are you rolling at?

[@gloriaherman6795]

what did you change between the first attempt at playback and the final successful one ? great video!

[@skillful_DIY_fan]

for example tinfoil. first i was using too thin aluminium one and it wasnt working. then i used thicker tinfoil. and reduced the presure of the nidle

Repent and trust in Jesus. Hes the only way. We deserve Hell because weve sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him. John 3:16 Romans 3:23😊❤😊❤❤

Repent and trust in Jesus. we deserve Hell for our sins. For example lying, lusing, saying God's name as a cuss word and stealing our just some examples of sin which we can all admit to doing at least one of those. For our sin we deserve death and Hell, but there is a way out. Repent anf trust in Jesus and you will be saved. Repentence is turning from sin. So repent and trust in Jesus. He will save you from Hell, and instead give you eternal life in Heaven. John 3:16 Romans 3:23❤😊❤😊
