The Simplest Radio

Radio can be incredibly simple, and around the turn of the century this simplicity made early experimentation possible for just about anyone.
How simple can it get?
Here's an example:
Materials Reqd: A fresh 9-volt battery and a coin.
Procedure:
  • Find an AM radio and tune it to an area of the dial where you hear static.

  • Now hold the battery near the antenna and quickly tap the two terminals of the battery with the coin (so that you connect them together for an instant).

Result : A crackle in the radio, that is caused by the connection and disconnection of the coin, is heard.

By tapping the terminals of a 9-volt battery with a coin, you can create radio waves that an AM radio can receive!

Your battery/coin combination is a radio transmitter! It's not transmitting anything useful (just static), and it will not transmit very far (just a few inches, because it's not optimized for distance). But if you use the static to tap out Morse code, you can actually communicate over several inches with this crude device!

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.
