Crazy how we take things like this for granted. So cool learning this stuff. Amazing video.

Agree, this is basically witchcraft 😂

[@lainet4849]

Once you understand how it works, the really amazing thing is the speed at which it works.

[@nikyabodigital]

GolfSauce This is revolutionary it's almost an experiment when figuring this out because you can't visually see a wave , this is pure genius

[@mrnarason]

@@ob1keno227 The more witchcraft-y thing is that it is not witchcraft at all. We understand it very well, through hundreds of years of progress of science, technology, engineering and math. Take some physics classes and it won't be "witchcraft" anymore.

[@sergouszz5388]

Yea, this is not our tecnology. Aliens are sharing this to us as time gets by. People don't see the impossible jump from one technology to another. Only know to say "ThERe ArE GeNiUsEs".

[@godsdebris153]

Yes! The carrier frequency for Wi-Fi is about 2.4 GHz, which is the same frequency as the radiation emitted by most microwaves. This is why microwaves can interfere with Wi-Fi signals. We used a Wacom tablet and the SmoothDraw software to make the video.

[@GameCreatorOfGod]

Don't forget to say that when receiving the waves of FM the device that receives them decodes the waves from a already written library of numbers for each wave. So this is why its so fast, each wave is already programmed to read FM .This is why AM radio is not as good as FM As am does not decode it just reads the waves as a high or low pitch wave. The reason this is so important is people still don't understand how it works as a whole. So each radio depending on who created it, works with a already written program to decode each wave as a one or zero. If you only have a AM radio it does not have any prerecorded information in it so it just picks up the waves and send them to your speaker. We use to call it a echo machine as it would just echo wave sounds into your speaker. But FM will read the waves like zeros and ones depending on the burst of frequency of each wave. If its one short blast or wave, then its a one. if there is a relaxed wave its a zero. The higher the range for the wave, the higher the pitch, the lower the wave or the more relaxed the burst, the lower the pitch.

[@Rafa-yw8nu]

So that's why FM is called digital (in terms of transmitting 0 and 1) in this video?

[@GameCreatorOfGod]

@@Rafa-yw8nu Yes because it is digital.

[@MrBeen992]

So FM radio was always digital since the 1930s it was invented ? ? ?

[@GameCreatorOfGod]

@@MrBeen992 yes and no, over the years it's advanced to be what it is. Like with WiFi. But yes, you are right. But the wave was recorded and received different.

[@MrBeen992]

@@GameCreatorOfGod OK, but this video doesnt explain how FM transmited information before the digital age

Computer only understand 1 and 0... While youre sending high and low frequency the receiver will demodulate the signal and depending to it's corresponding combination of 1s and 0s the original information will be retrieved .

So the FM wave is also transported by a carrier wave? In that case, does a higher frequency carrier wave imply larger data transfer rates?

[@jayasri-ft8040]

Excellent sir

[@liamcashmore3127]

How many Hertz are the waves modulated by in fm? Also, is this how WiFi routers transmit data in homes and such? It seems like not a lot of data can be transmitted if it’s like Morse code. And can radio waves on specific frequencies be time delayed to create digits? If so, is that better than actually changing the frequency? So many questions.

[@ernieodiorne3337]

Hello, Great video! What did you use to make the drawings on the screen?

[@tekiero]

[@MrSupermonkeyman34]

I have a question. If some radio stations transmit information via frequency modulation and others transmit information via amplitude modulation. How do radio's that pick up these waves distinguish between different radio stations

[@emilcarr7190]

there is usually a little switch on the radio that the user flicks then tunes in

[@knowledgecenter2806]

Hungry for more!! How can you create these waves? How can you change the frequency? Can you combine AM and FM to send more information in less time?

[@singularity333]

My question is how a specific tone sound voice or color is transmitted.

[@bertaga41]

Thanks for this but i still dont understand how the sound wave is attached to the carrier wave. Please put me right on this. A sound wave enters a microphone and the vibrations are converted to EM waves. These EM waves by means of modulation are loaded onto carrier waves(but how?)and the carrier waves are sent out to be picked up by antennae and the process is reversed so you hear sound at the receiving end. I am nearly correct?

[@hieugiaosu]

amazing, finally i understand how light can carry information, thank you so much

[@masbro1901]

how light can carry information?

[@markarthur1083]

With the case of AM you said the receiving device has to listen out for a specific frequency. What does the receiving device have to listen out for in the case of FM?
