How to make a speaker

In this video I'm going to show you how to make a speaker from a cup. This might not be the loudest, but you can have quite a bit of fun making this speaker, and the speaker's simplicity might actually fascinate you.
Please put a thumbs up if you liked it, and be sure to leave your thoughts and ideas for improvements. I apologize for any mistakes. Be sure to check out my other videos. If you want to learn how it works and some trouble shooting tips go this link:

I fell into a rabbit hole of youtube videos about sound converting to energy and back, and somehow I stumbled across this video... I gotta say, I have absolutely no plans to make a speaker out of a cup, but this was still entertaining to watch!

Simple and straight to the point. Thanks for the tutorial video. You just made speakers so simple to understand

[@agustingimenez5049]

If instead of the tape film you use some rubber bands it will have less resistance to the movement and will sound louder. BTW good work, this is a good tuto for people who doesn't know how a speaker works.

[@ConnorR.mp3]

+Agustin Gimenez The tape is what vibrates, generating the sound.

[@agustingimenez5049]

+TheScoutPro What vibrates is not the tape but the plastic circle cropped from the cup bottom and attached to the mobile coil.

[@akshayghadage4883]

Omg...that's awesome and insanely cool.... What a "JUGAD"....

[@joyview1]

i once made sound come up from small motor from toy car and piece of paper just put on top of it. why it worked no idea)

[@AHElectronics]

Alexandr Martynov That worked using the same principle as this. Motors have coils of wire and magnets inside them. When you send electricity through the motor's coil and magnets starts to vibrate producing the sound. The paper being really easy to vibrate tends to spread out the vibration through out the paper and we thus hear the sound from the motor.

[@ofernandofilo]

I made it in a long pass a little different from your method, but, man, the idea of using the tape without the ring seems to improve the project greatly! Thx by the video, cheers!

[@ardubrand6673]

I liked the video because the idea of speakers and amplifiers always confuses me since they're always packaged as a single unit. If this was smaller or even the way it is, the best most scrap st home way to amplify the sound for lightweight and durability for me, was using two super small water plastics thermally infusing the seams with a silicon making squares and cutting the hole with my solder pen and slipping the SPEAKERS inside and sealing them. In doing so, I found ways to make them retractable and hidden and an array of aquatic themselves were available via the dollar store blow up water animals inflatables pool pals and floaties were used. In total the arm bands functioned the best were fastes to refil and a bike patch could be used if they flatten which is also 99 cents. I found every part here at the dollar store so, it was a fun simple project to make the speakers and play with finding amplification. I was so surprised at the outcome of the tiny airfilled plastics.

While winding, never cross wires, wind them parallel, you will be amazed with the efficiency, sound will be a lot louder than this.

[@matzy160]

Does shape of magnets affect speakers?

[@athibanowsheen4702]

can any one tell me the principle used in this?

[@akshaymathur5665]

Sound coming out from the cell phone is a variable current waveform, which generates an induced magnetic field when it passes through the coils, which in turn causes the stack of neodymium magnets to move with the changes in current, which causes the tape (which is the membrane) to vibrate creating the sound. The cup focuses the sound.

[@duranamo4297]

It would be much louder if you were giving it more power, like 10 watts. Your phone only provides less than a watt through the 3.5mm jack.

[@superninja6630]

maybe if you could somehow connect the crocodile clip to an amplifier, you mightbe able to make it louder

[@ProFow]

+SuperNinja66 you can, just connect the Jack to and Amplifier then the Amplifier to the "Speaker"

[@marcelzatko9105]

maybe he could show how to make a diy amp next and then hook it up to this homebrew speaker that would be cool

[@superninja6630]

sorry guys. i commented on the wrong video lol because in the righ t one he used a crocodiel clip

I don’t know if anyone is still reading the comments but I finally succeeded ! Can anyone suggest me another project idea? i really had fun with this one !

[@AHElectronics]

Really glad to hear that you had fun! If you still want you could try a similar one to this by making your own microphones, or maybe electric generators to run small LEDs, or go with homemade motors and such. Email me if you still want something more specific or if you have any area you are interested in, I might have some good links to projects saved on my computer.

How long was the copper wire you took?

[@budakkorporat3369]

[@seiboyguite3652]

sir can u show how to increase d bass...

[@AHElectronics]

+seiboy guite No need to call me sir :) , as far as bass goes, you have to experiment with different materials and maybe create or use an amplifier. Instead of tape you could use cloth like cotton or wax paper for the diaphragm. Experiment and let me know :)

Hello, I'm trying to understand how really works this mini speaker. And I wanted to know, what part had the paperclip ? Thx

[@AHElectronics]

The paperclip is there just to hold the magnet in place. The mini speaker has the speaker coil that connects to the wires on your phone. When you play a music, your phone sends electrical signals of various strengths to the wires and if you pass electricity through a wire you produce an electromagnet. The wire creates a magnetic field, and since the magnet is right inside the coil, the coil attracts and repels the magnet based on the strength of the electrical signal. This attraction and repulsion causes the coil to move really by a small amount which causes vibration in the cup. The vibrations are interpreted as sound by our ears. Hope that helps :) Also check out this instructable for more details www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-speaker-4/
