2.4 Ghz WiFi Yagi antenna by web7days (tested)

[hrprada]

I'm using right now a 15-element yagi I built with 12-gauge copper wire on a wooden dowel instead of dioxin-PVC. I'm looking for square brass or copper tubing to build a 20-element.

USELESS video. One of the worst.

[Le1Shon]

......pffffff......

[jeepers2655]

bought one off e-bay .....did not work,took cover off plastic object w/ antenna wire coming out of it,.......not even hooked to antenna,just a strip of metal on each side,with ground lead attached to one.and other main lead attached to other?????so how is it suppose to work if cable is not even contacting aluminum antenna?......anyone?

[1Rowdy1derful]

@jeepers2655 damn dude, You need to read up a little, The internet is great for that, just google yagi antennas and read on them, particularly study on the driven element being a folded dipole. that is what this antenna is, a high gain, very directional, yagi antenna with a folded dipole driven element. Excellent antenna. If it isn't working then you probably have another issue like you are not pointing it directly at a signal source that is close enough.  ? or a bad cable or so on

es una mierda

[jeffschefke]

Uaa The SWR... IT BURNS!!!!

He just might get 1mw out if he dose 1 watt

[ElFutre02]

Una cagada.... no se explica nada.

[socklesshobo]

thats one sloppy looking folded dipole :)

[sillydog70]

I like it just wish you did a diy on how you made it.

[Nervejunktion]

why bother adding in that horrible quality sound?

[web7days]

@Nervejunktion too late I can't change the background sound now...

[Nervejunktion]

@web7days

it was more of a question then a request to change it.

It couldn't have sounded good the first time either.

[ohmmeters]

@web7days

Yes you can, add a song via youtube instead...

[owen420]

thats cool you showed us your creation.... wanna get sum real props show us how you made it!

[0903390901]

eeeEEEEE€€€€€€€ ????? :DDDDD

DVB-T antenna ???? :DDDD

[tbenefi33]

OHHHHHHHHHHH K

[mxrules5]

Stupid vid!!!!!! Has potential but this was stupid!!!!!!1

[speedster1110]

I wounder if he really made this video. I can't give it a good score and the chopper noise maks me wounder if he thinks he is doing something corvert. kind of like playing war?

[1000kata]

can u send me a pdf file with the picture??please!!!

[Rohmell]

dumbest fucken video on youtube

[msohed911]

whatta stupid post...

[macscujo]

What the heck is the sense of showing your antena if your not going to tell anyone how to build one

[Exzzu]

Well, anyone could actually build a antenna by just looking how thats made, if you have no clue how to build a antenna you shouldnt really build one. Also by reading the info it says "The construction is self-explanatory! " ;)

[macscujo]

Being a Ham radio licensed operator I can assure you I have built many antennas and could certainly buid that one. I was refrring to people who are watching who need to know how far apart is radial is from each other and how long the boom is, etc, etc. You say absolutely nothing that would be helpful to those people. Without that info the antenna will not work to the best of it's design ability.

@macscujo Im a Op too! KF5CNU is my call! Yeah this it would be nice if he would say would say something instead of just showing a few pics. Boy, ill tell you I have seen some rly stupid WiFi antennas that are like 100' long and the stupid people are like OMG ITS SOO COOL!!! And im like "Have fun with your high SWR and a fried transmitter in your WiFi card

[kc8ntp]

@grant2053 , yes, I agree. I tried to tell a moron the other day about SWR and a router, and he said that I was full of it; and that SWR only matters on a CB or something of that nature -- I could not get through to him that if it TXs, then it matters! I run a 7-10 mile link from my house, so that I can Internet from my astronomy spot. It is nearly perfect LOS. I use a 40" dish at the house and a 24 element yagi at my mountain location. And, yes, I have also seen some of these stupid antennas!

[grant2053]

@kc8ntp Nice. Yup, some people cant understand basic radio theory -_- ...

@macscujo Hi, hope you still use your youtube account! Just wanted to ask..in your opinion, is the yagi the best design (compact) for longer distance 2.4ghz tx/rx, or would something like the bi-quad be better? I've seen so many varying results in my searches in the past, just want to hear from someone with experience. I ordered what's supposedly a 25dbi yagi on ebay. Still awaiting it's arrival and really hoping it at least beats my home-made cantenna!

[web7days]

@macscujo

it is a simple design and I built it for testing purpose only...

[phreakonacell]

You can make them smaller. I have made a few wifi yagi's for people using ground wire courtesy of the local cable company throwing away the old outdoor type cable that has the ground wire along the side of the insulation. Cut off 40 2.5 inch pcs. using a piece of wood and wood screws. you will need a pair of needle nose pliers to make a round type piece at one of the ends of the wire so that the wood screws can fit into it. place each element about half an inch from each element. 35 db gain.

[Cambu82]

hey can u make a video tutorial of how to make your yagi ??? thanks!!!

[zepangua]

What does the helicopter has to do with it...

[str8out]

And the point of this vid was...?

[gilbert200616]

dude, what range u getting?
