Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from May 15, 2015 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

All it takes is a resonant circuit -- and just about anything conductive is resonant at some r.f. --, a rectifier (diode), & a transducer to audio. Demodulation is not essential.

Hi, Listener Robert! Hi NGH!
  12:20pm
Listener Robert:

The diode can occur accidentally in the form of 2 conductors that are different in material or even shape. All it takes is a somewhat different resistance to one polarity from the other. Bring 2 dissimilar metals in contact, and due to galvanic action between them, it is likely for one to develop an oxide coating at the jct., & there's your rectifier.

Transducing the signal into sound merely requires some part loose enough to vibrate. Alternatively, a spark can produce sound.

So the story about dental work's becoming a radio receiver is quite plausible. It probably hasn't occurred as often as claimed, though.

@Pacific Standard Simon: I got mine at the nearby Science Museum gift shop. I built an electric motor from a kit that I got there. I wish I had purchased a dissecting kit and a pickled tarantula to dissect, but by the time I has save up enough money for it, they had stopped selling it. Alright, I admit, maybe I was a little scared first.
  12:24pm
Listener Robert:

This is how I believe Mahlon Loomis accidentally created wireless. He ran up 2 kites on wires, like Ben Franklin, a distance apart. One had a key to ground, the other a spark gap to ground. He thought he was closing a DC circuit when his signal at one was received at the other.

Listener Robert:

He didn't have the theory, but what he actually had were resonant circuits. Actuated by the sky-ground DC potential, r.f. transients were created when he made & broke the cx. These were then received at the other station. He noted that the kites had to be at the same height. Of course that was because then the wires would be of equal length, hence resonant. He thought, however, that he was tapping a horizontal DC current at that altitude of kite, with ground return.
