How to make a simple Wireless Telegraph/Spark Gap Transmitter

[@prideaaron5128]

Really solid explanation and demonstration best i seen so far especially with the radio test. No one has done that.

[@gabrielisaacc.almelor582]

One word........this is the most accurate tutorial ever in you tube

[@dieterdoes9497]

Thank you!

[@DA-fn4ss]

That's ten words, twelve if you count "one word"...

This is one of the coolest projects on KZbin

[@dieterdoes9497]

Thanks, that really means a lot

[@annefiftythree]

It was first used at least during the Copper Age: dolmen, menhirs, underground tuning keys, listening chambers (called beehive "tombs"). Linguistics are revealing! Thanks for the tutorial.

😊Hi Dieter in the past was like this! Greetings from Italy, "IK2RGV" telegraphy operator 👋👋

[@the-code-provider]

Thanks a lot bro, I just lost my phone, I'm saved now :-D

[@Number4lead]

Very good. So the springiness of the lid acts as the rocker arm you would find on the Marconi transmitter.

[@pierrelecaillou6966]

Doooood! Total fun, easy to understand......Thanks much mate!

[@abukharoub-6041]

‏‪18:20‬‏ You said subscribe, and I also noticed that it is the same code that you wrote in the cover image, is that correct?

[@amalwadi2006]

I want to ask you a question: How did you connect the telegraph to the am station?

[@jeakith]

Anybody got anwser

[@lucaaaaaaaas]

Maybe just some random am station without signal

[@traviswilson3750]

I don't think he reads comments

[@dieterdoes9497]

It becomes the station, the thing I built transmits the Morse code in the form of radio waves, which you can get on a radio

[@8alakros]

you can leave it connected to the battery, and then check what frequency it takes on the radio.

I got a question, what if your electromagnet doesnt work when you try to magnetize it

[@dieterdoes9497]

Check your wire and make sure it is all getting electricity, add extra coils, or make sure you have a big iron or steel nail

[@chikerbriker7046]

reminds me of an electromechanical relay,because of the electromagnet used to open and close the switch. tip:heat the EM nail as much as you can,but do not melt it.because soft iron,which you get by heating an iron nail,is magnetic only when current passes through,but on the other hand,regular iron nails retain a lot of magnetism even when the current is off,do this so the nail doesn't stick to the lid,i used too much turns,like 400 on the biggest nail i could find,and the lid just got stuck to the nail, just posted this tip to make sure nobody repeats this mistake.

[@dieterdoes9497]

That super helpful, thanks!

Can we use cardboard of foam for the structure

[@dieterdoes9497]

anything you can get your hands on that is not conductive

[@siyabongahlongwana2386]

Hi, great video but what is the antenna here?

[@dieterdoes9497]

There is no antenna used, if you wanted to increase signal I think adding an antenna to somewhere around the nail is best, but I’m not really sure

[@musicalcommentor]

Does it work with big wire or no

[@izzy3439]

[@sergio4784]

What would happen if I didn’t sand the screws?

[@dieterdoes9497]

as long as all the wire and screws can make a good contact, you don't need to, but usually they are coated in something

[@marciolimas]

nice video, how far the signal goes?

[@brandenburg2388]

Probably up to the Moon....

[@astro.p]

The most it’ll do is reach up a few miles. On a perfect day with proper propagation it’ll reach about a few hundred miles but only if ur lucky. And most importantly. You need an amateur radio license for this and need to make your transmitter INSIDE of the amateur radio bands. Otherwise the FCC will come and get you.

[@SimonDevScr]

​Lmao @@astro.p

[@PTBS_]

​@@astro.pIt will reach only about 10 meters. With antenna it could reach few hundred meters or few kilometres, depends on the size of the antenna

[@JD-eq1gk]

You know spark gap transmission is illegal right?

[@aidenclapper1512]

Since this one probably wouldn't interfere with nearby radios its fine but still technically legal.

[@AlexBurtonMusic]

The signal can't go far enough to mess things up. I guess.
