RE: How to Create a High-Def speaker for under a buck.

[gamerproking117]

If you watch the actual video and read the deception it says its a parody

[christotheawesome]

Thanks alot for WASTING MY TIME, just rename the title saying it's a myth okay.

[a2ramirez]

i agree with you... i tried it and nothing

[BossmanGeorgia]

Right, I suggest that you could attach one end of the jack to the penny, and the other end to somewhere on the aluminum foil, but make sure that you have two wires from the jack or it might not work, but you are probably better off getting a magnet and making a voice coil from wrapping copper wire around a pen, or better a dry erase marker and attaching it to the diaphragm of the aluminum then hooking the two ends of the copper wire to the two ends of your audio jack. :)

[picaticatara]

of course that doesnt work all the headphone wires were connected to only one spot. a loudspeaker is a type of circuit. the current must go through the speaker not across the surface of a penny

[Fuzzehjohnny]

saame shit happened with me

[leonidhaimov]

Lol HouseHoldHacker pwned them all! MUAHAHAHA

[melonyVSlife]

i tried it too. im also a little dissapointed.

[33125577]

missing the magnet coil on house hold hackers one

[Alonsocesar90]

mythbusters busted this

[AXLproducts]

yeah same thing happened to me

[chrisgralnic]

there is no magnet which is why it doesnt work

[MrDoctorMoney]

@jmptuts lol

[cheapwebvids]

i love the academy is...

[mojo7998]

you need an old penny that was actually made of copper not, zinc with a copper overlay

[123pivot456]

omg i have the same sound system you do

[nrmskate]

If anyone here actually knew what a penny was made of, you would realize that this would never work.

[LordOfCuteOnes]

could it be duck tape because i dont have clear tape :)

[ViXoZuDo]

creative speaker + logitech G5 and steelseries qck+?

[Silguprita]

it realy dosen´t work!!

[TheSurfboarder]

the penny has to be from 1982 and later in the past and shiny

[dian2n]

:) Right... :)

[Japanzi16]

I tried this and it didnt work either. It might be different if the paper plates aren't glossy, like mine.

[dian2n]

No how to do anything until the two wires are wrapped together. With the same success can be tried by wire instead of cable. I wish you luck

[michaelw0553]

no it doesn't have to be shinny because its doesn't work

mythbusters busted this shit

[radcllifedanyel]

the penny should be shinny

[L3adDrumm3r235]

haha u lik the academy is...

[solki2007]

If you hear closely (turn up your volume) U can hear the song from the home made speakers.

[emoxbioch]

Kewl song, what is it?

[DizzyDawgFizzle360]

forgot the name but its by "the academy is"

[falesi1]

Idolo!

[xJok3rz]

steelseries nice :D

[kingofspinosaurids23]

it has to touch the penny

[darkstar3472]

haha nothin... i dont know wut to say

[EnerG15]

You need an electro magnet which is lots of turns of wire and a magnet.

[vk3ye]

Nice presentation.

For the next experiment, try getting a big bolt (say 1/4 or 1/2 inch diameter) and wrap lots of turns of wire around it to make an electromagnet.

Connect that across the audio (needs to be more than headphone volume).

If you bring a magnetic object (eg tin can) near the electromagnet you'll hear the sound. Play with spacing for best volume. Works but not great quality.

[skyJets]

Dude Your penny need to be in Cu

[ANDA9489]

oooh fuck you man!!

[ChazZeromus]

thanks fellow mythbuster, sigh bullshit people...why do they do that. How to make surround sound with a napkin, i'll do that. Anyways, you're intention failure has helped many to realize it doesn't work. and fuck the guy who first made that video!!

[psxworld101]

nicely put Chaz.

This shit wont work. Household hacker kinda makes people waste good money. he makes people curious, and poof, down goes your money. Household Hacker lied a lot, but some of his videos, and i mean SOME are legit. When people thinks paper plate, aluminum, a penny, and a jack would work they're just plain idiotic. A speaker needs magnets, iron, copper wires, base, and frequency input and output. Well, that's my point!

[ChazZeromus]

I mean, when I look at the video without pretense, I could already figure out what you would already do to get a working speaker going. Instead he's too stupid and dubs the audio with some movie's sound track.

[jeremyhillaryboobphd]

@ChazZeromus it works in theory - magnet, vibrating material, theres not really too much more to a speaker

[ChazZeromus]

Not like this, not at all, they just jambled what they know about speakers and made some lame video that didn't make sense. Exploited me a person who doesn't read science books enough.

[idtheis]

No, this will never work. A speaker consists of a stationary magnet and an electro magnet. You can make a speaker but not like this and not with very good quality. A simple explanation is: the electro magnet is hooked up to your audio out and pulls toward the other magnet then doesn't, then does, then doesn't. When it does this it moves something up and down like a paper plate which pushes air in and out thus creating the sound you hear, if its homemade its not very good quality.

idtheis

[crazykong2]

Nothing , you don't know what to say?-You clown!!, you dumb joke!, you did all the foiling wrong! there is no air.- and you still feel disappointed?

[garuda870]

bull shit

[michael9515]

no.. you got it all wrong.. white plate not black one :D the sound is afraid of black :D my 8 year old bro said.. it ain't gonna work :P bet ya for burger :D

[Guitarwill83]

Don't worry it is normal,

that video was not true ..

but if you put a Circle inside the(under the center od the metal paper) roll it all (more than 50 turns with a insulated cable) with one side cable, conect to the other side cable of the speaker out, let a little piece of metal over the centre it works, but.. you need also to insert some resistence about 2 ohms.

[Bassmasta79]

connect to your computer it gives more power

[YouJustEpiclyFailed]

exactly

[ORayDizzyO]

Both of the head phones need a seperate speaker. it's a stereo sound so if one doesn't work the other doesn't work. try making two.

[KeithUrbanCounrtyGrl]

does tht wrk?

[VilkacisMusic]

U NEED SHINIER PENNIZ

[Ascensiam]

At least this guy was honest.

[SimiZ15]

u know what means - + on wires?

[petriukasp]

nice one man XD

[Ddoggz1]

there is not enough power in the penny

[maniac2011]

amen ra

[ilavyou]

Take a computer fan.

Connect the cable to the amplifer.

It can make some quiet noise. TRY IT:D

[Tactums]

has the penny dropped yet? lol - google how a analogue speaker works... sadly bose/panasonic/sony dont use penny's.... they use nickles and dimes.... get your facts straight!

[Bl4ckbird94]

no

try it yourself but tape a magnet on the other side of the aluminium plate

it works

i did it for my science class and got a 92%

[Tactums]

lol, mmm yeh totally :) hey i think you need to ring up Bang & Olufsen and tell them of your fantastic new speaker; seems they have been going about things the wrong way for years!

Fucking reprobate.

[atiga93]

what happened to the other 8%

[Bl4ckbird94]

its cause someone had a better one

and 92%=A (next is 100%=A+)

[lamularules]

You'll never get sound if you don't have a electromagnetic set!!! The coins are all bronze, you can't make an electromagnetic set with that!!!

[XQ28Guy]

Pennies're made of zinc plated with copper. They're not bronze. The US does not issue any bronze coins.

[lamularules]

Anyway, it doesn't have IRON.

[DaroWino]

ahahahah LOL

[RoderickPride]

No analfebet, this is shit...it was a hoax.

[jmozzy101]

u get more sound out of normal earpiece speakers and turning the volume up to its loudest!!!

[analfabet123456789]

the answer to your problem is .don't put it right in the center of it.don't let the wire touch the foil.use a bigger piece of tape to completely cover it.

[ManOfMonkeyball]

i used like 70000000000000000 diferent pennys and 999999999999 layers of foil. it didnt work

[CarlW21]

all them pennies, that is like £700 trillion, your quite tight with your money making $1 speakers.

[yawn011]

dont be emo !!!!!!!!!!! lol

[XclusiveFilms08]

steelseries mouse pad <3

[logitechoz]

it only works if the penny is from 1999

[cyberghost115]

haha i know i had the same prob!!!!

[nextgameis1229]

u dont know what to say niether does the plate :l :P

[1AussieAvenger1]

i heard you could turn an ipod with a pair of these $1 speakers attached into a teletransporter.

[RaymondvanA]

He used a black plate istead of a white plate .... that is why it ain't working :P (<see my smiley ?)

[Stojke2K9]

You all cant be that stupid... Put one wire on the penny and the other on the alufoil! You have 3 wires two + and one 0 the, put the two + on the foil and the 0 on the penny. if you dont know witch is witch red should be + and black or white 0.

[Zigazgman1]

try a pre-1982 penny, that's made with far more copper.

[ejdarklord117]

i mesed up my head phones for nutten!

[ELBALDA]

the academy is... WOOOOOOOOO!!!

[gimmeurdosh]

why would you even need a penny? surely it would work better with the wire on the alluminium foil?

Personally i think its bull, but it might work kinda if u just put headphones in the space between plate and foil. Not that loud but still.

[357infusion]

I believe the penny puts tension on the foil making it tighter thus more suseptible to reverberation

[poostew]

r u a fucking dumbass? do you know how a speaker works? you need a magnetic current i think this is bull i havnt tried it yet but after seeing all the responses i dont think im gonna

[jrsightes]

Yeah, you're right. If you don't have technical knowledge of how sound equipment works, you're a "fucking dumbass."

[voodooskater]

same keyboard same pad !

[jeab3r]

lol u idiot

[sj0903]

you take part of the wire covering heads and use the rest on tails and cover the holes on the end of the foil completley

[iarowzi]

i dont know maybe you should put the wire under the penny?

[glenmann62]

crap!

[BombTrack8]

it didnt work for me but i heard it had to be a shiny penny befor the year 1982 so im about to try it

[maximilli111]

u can hear it

[pspsk817]

a shiny penny and i heard it

[synysterblak]

i heard it toward the end

[crapi4got]

that thumping sound? i think that was his hand

[ReversePowerChord]

listen really closely. i swear i heard it.

[upla1]

i heard that too.

[Manny1080i]

me too :S

[dirtydodger]

I tried it this evening and it doesn't work. I followed the instructions perfectly.

[pokemonfan14321]

use a paper plate

[hemo1001]

damn i have the same mouse

[KingxKhaos]

if you get a bigger piece of tape lets say 1 by 1 and leave and air pocket for the "PENNY" to vibrate it should work... but hey thats just my thoughts send me a message if you think other wise though

[tickabull]

lol I have the same speaker

[coerce1]

I don't know much about how speakers work but wouldn't they need a magnet?

[zINOVAIz]

no thats a subwoofer tht uses a magnet

[GOWfanEXECUTIONstyle]

no all speakers need magnets for resistence

[muziekfreak1980]

Thas goes for conus indeed, This is the principle of Magnetostatic or Electrostatic. Now what he needs to do is pump in enough volume to make the membrane move.

ESL speakers make use of high voltage (transformator) this is powerd by youre amp current, to set it under a current that works with the input signal.

Try it, put watts on it it should work. The coin is not needed. Seen the fact is just adds to the the weight (tremendously) of the membrane. Thus more need for power.

[BORATMAKEMOVIE]

OMG I HAVE THE SAME KEYBOARD

[trimi38]

lol?

[rarimcoty]

i actually made it work but i changed it. i put the penny and the wire on the inside of the foil after first seperating the ground from the hot wire and taping the ground directly onto the foil. then i added a high powered magnet behind the penny and wire. then i put the foil on with the penny, wire,and magnet on the inside. then it worked id make a vid but ive got no camera... :( but the original didnt work.... house hold hackers a fag.

p.s. a speaker has to have a good magnet in it idiots!

[McMiiCoo]

yeah.. i know about the magnet..my speakers were..am..broken so i removed the bass thingy from it to replace it and the bass thingy had a magnet behind it so now i use it ass a fridge magnet :D

[IceColdKilla66]

Tell me more please :DD

[mikeybreakdownn]

Attention by the academy is :)

im guessing its the first song on your iTunes, cause it is on mine :)

[darkrashan]

Ok at first i was very skeptical..

after a while i thought about this..

it's basically a simple piezo-electric speaker.

It does work (although barely).

[wiidaniel0]

i hate house hold hacker hes a SKAMMER

[Supertomiman]

yay zune!

[BichAssPunk]

its the coin moron

it works for me

[fatbastard135]

what about the coin?

[ryanhasib]

do you cut the headphone wire from the headphone please answer

[punkmonkey123]

Hehe.

You're fucking stupid.

[Aaron212444]

The penny looked coroded

[trevor0195]

well as far as i see it it will never work but what u can do is take a copper coil and replace it with the penny, attach it to the wires if u can figure that out and then put a magnet on the bottem attached to the inside and maybe with a little luck it would work.

[cgcgames]

it has to be a white paper plate and you must have pink headphone wire and insulation tape then when you realise tat this hardly never works you walk down to the shop and buy some speakers that will last years instead of making crap ones lolol

[jammer897]

high def uses gold, thats y it costs so much ... 24kt gold

[rahmanroni]

lol, householdfagot makes the fakest video on you tube, common people, its tinfoil, a penny and paper plate explain how the fuck its suppose to work?

[Chronicz259]

it has to b a white plate...lmao

[irulesomuch24]

u need a paper plate dummie :)

[ZicAbrao]

With this conditions and materials you will never construct a high definition speaker...

To construct high definition speaker you need to have membrane foil, bobine and a permanet magneto. (This is the tradicional way)...

Sound is made by variation of the air pressure... please explain me how you can have made a variation of air pressure with this stuff? Oh let me see, the penning is piezoelectric material...

cheaty...

[1eyedmonky]

Your are all Falling for a trick that the played on you. It's never going to work because you need magnets and things like that to make a speaker try taking apart an old earphone and see that there is a magnet in there.

[tylerbees123]

LOl the Acedemy is

[PSYCHOPATHsam]

come on, there's no electromagnetic waves made by that thing so there's no way that it can play music, think a little before doing something.

[iamxeddiex]

I believe you need to plug it to some thing with more wattage... "NOT A HEADPHONE JACK"!!!

[petritnikqi]

Myth Busted....:P

[hateunavailbalenames]

You did not have a shiny enough penny idiot next time hold it up to the camera so we can see how shiny.

[benh505]

I don't know what to say

[itbeenlikethat7]

yay the academy is... =]

[dublin023]

one thing is very obvious....he dosnt know what to say....

[nayr105]

u need magnets to make this thing. if u take the headphone things and put them facing eachother they will stick thats why they make sound. but this is crap anyway.

[speedsycon]

the reason it wont work is because the wire type. I've messed with headphone wires before, broken them and tied them together and there was no connection, its because with most new types only the tip will have a connection. the sides do not. Thicker wires would do the trick, or even actual speaker wire, and a jack from radioshack. It is possible i got it to work.

[eldjvicio]

hahaha this is fake

[beestboybeest]

ok what most of you fucks dont seem to know is that there's stil plastic around the cable TO PROTECT IT -.- didn't anyone of you ever wonderd why it didn't short out if its in the same cable

[sourkraut]

actually your the stupid fuck b/c this video was posted 9 months ago...I made it a couple days after the original came out to show people how it came out...you're a little late and we all know it was a bullshit trick. So next time how you comment on a video that is pertinent to the present day.

[mazhas08]

you need to expose the cable more!

[acisco01man]

would it work if i used my ipod for sound?

[museshowbiz]

well first of all seeings as its 1 speaker its only gonna be mono sound, so seperate the cables and just tape down one side of the cables instead of the 2, its most likely the fact that you were taping down both wires therefore shorting it out. try with one side.

[vojo2006]

hahah speakers can work without a magnet lol

[kramer3214]

yeah this confused me when i was a video of it working. how can you make the aluminum move with just a copper penny?

[Echrick]

By coiling unexposed wires around the penny you can turn it into an electromagnet, but then you'd need a second magnetic element on the other side of the plate.

[NecroMogo]

dudes

that shiet dont work!!!

seriously stop trying to make it work

is a waste of headphones xD

[LeTsKiLl4JeSuS]

lol, really

[moderndaycoboy]

i think it hates your shitty music

[vzm19glr]

computer is too strong for those.try somethng weak like an ipod

[generalJB]

hm. when i cut my headphones open, i found two main wires, but when i looked at one, there was a smaller red bundle or wires thrown into the mix or copper. i wonder if this did anything against it?

P.S. mine didnt work, and i used tupperware instead, because it would make more sense to use something stronger.

[waqas202k]

i got the same thing.

[7356205]

the academy is...

[kedonot11]

that penny not shiny.. and its fake.

[DrummerRF]

Some people thing the only way to create air vibrations are magnets. What you forgot is that air is created out of particles. Maby that alimunum thing ionisates airmolecules which wil somehow start to vibrate at the same frequecy as the wire sents the electrical shocks. Also the output for a headphone is a very weak signal because otherwise it will blow op your headphone. Maby try the plugs at an amplifier.

[Cargos757]

the penny: ketchup does work.

plus I suggest search for "how speakers work"

a search engine.

[pootanaki]

bull  thank u now i wasted a wire

[pAnHaNcALi]

agaahah

[expertmax1]

It will never work because there is no way the penny can send vibration to the aluminum foil. Vibrations are created out of a magnet in a speaker system. This is a big hoax and the update he made with the ketchup thing... he things we are all dumb asses but i know we aren't !

[MIKEPREAMP]

How can it work when the signal from the amplifier is working into a dead short?

[Cargos757]

Noctice the used pakageing tape not scotch tape. but your right need somthing else to complete it.

[TrickDaddyNiCK]

i would try electrocal

[jackassskaters4]

no matter what you do its never going to work dumbasses
