Weekend Project: Styrofoam Plate Speaker

[awsomecp173]

what is the song called

[TrollingAround]

be aware - every coil turn that goes from top to bottom will negate a wound coil that goes from bottom to top! - wind many turns up then one turn that goes all the way down to the bottom and repeat.

[jake14th]

kip kay is gnna have a rave with his new styro foam speakers

[KingInternet10]

[itslife56]

@bob4for4 Nope man, Its Gaddafi:)

[SZakiabba]

dat cheasy and catchy music at the beginning <3

[us3r5]

@domzday2396 i think a neodumium magnet is an electromagnet and normal magnets dont do the same thing.

[TrollingAround]

@us3r5 - no neodymium magnets are just MUCH stronger than regular ferrite magnets



[MrSpooferpoofer]

my speakers work but instead of hot glue i used duck tape

[vladbuciatchi]

Mythbusters Failed

[MrConnorJP]

@vladbuciatchi no they didnt, that design they busted would never work and was a fake, this is the true design.

[hondakid200]

Can I use regular head phones for like an iPod an can I use a cardboard plate

[doodlemustard]

I COULDNT GET THE BUSINESS CARDS IN W'S ONLY M'S I NEED HELP!!!!!

[switchblade11089]

@doodlemustard I heard that if you light the cards on fire it helps.

[swissrecruitknives]

[ChemistryNurd]

@1luckas0 do a search on eBay or amazon

[1luckas0]

hello, wanted to know if the neodymium magnet is hard to find?

[pencilman222000]

make 10 of these.

a giant "decent" sound system is born!

[pieboy479]

equipt the speaker to the amp tin thing to make it louder!

[SmarterProductions]

Can I use a paper plate instead of styrofoam, or does it have to be styrofoam?

[ordi75]

This very video was the first video I saw that was made by KipKay!

[derplecbob]

BIG ASS SPEAKER 0:30

[MrJumpersun]

@xRobG no the magnet must be stronger to make it louder.

[tech851]

@MrJumpersun or you could use two transistors

[Nibblesguy]

You sound exactly like scooby :D

[mogogiants]

science fair idea lol

[nosalt97]

I'm listening to this video on the speaker I just made :)

[LILRAMON14]

new haircut

[xRobG]

If you have a bigger magnet is it louder?

[Yukondano2]

Screw you household hacker

[chibraxial]

Watching this video makes you realize that no speaker in the world should be sold more than 200$

[DIYFun101]

can u use a paper plate or a sheet of Styrofoam ?

[Yukondano2]

@DIYFun101

As long as the plate doesn't bend.

[7SpadesCurse]

haha the plate was bouncing when the misic played!!

[letsgoiowa]

Science: it's amazing

[cristian3131]

now THIS is the real styrofoam speaker householdhacker !

[zxa635]

DO U WANT THAT WOOFER!!!!!!????

[SteelersFan10811]

you should make a foxhole radio and hook this up to it

[md0is0peace]

thanks man !

[TheTechDivision]

where do we connect the wires to the speaker and where to the computer

[alexisrebolledo95]

can you use anything else besides a styrofoam plate?

[majapet69]

I built that speaker and I am listening to this video on it!I am so happy!!

[MrDavidharris8749]

i bet if you used a styrofoam bowl it would sound better

[concavius]

Damn that's cool!

[domzdayz2396]

where to find the neodumium magnet??? can i just use an ordinary magnet... HELP

[TheJuli1241]

@domzdayz2396 i think yes

[guns4good]

@domzdayz2396 Radio Shack has neo magnets. They are often called "rare Earth" magnets. They are essentially just super strong magnets. I think you can find them in the crafts section at Wal Mart.

[CARSEH01]

@domzdayz2396 yes but a neodumium magnit is more strong

[Mrdogdigger]

@domzdayz2396 Ebay is the answer!

[idiotAREstupid]

@domzdayz2396 normal magnet don't have enough juice

[trigsim]

@domzdayz2396 Google it, god you're helpless.

[davidwindowstips]

@domzdayz2396 SEARCH ON EBAY?

[EPICT0ASTER]

@domzdayz2396 hobby shop or high end hardware store, or even a magnet supplier online.

[bubbles16177]

@domzdayz2396 yes it will work just not as loud and clear hope this helped

[MrDragonator]

@domzdayz2396 go onto amazon(dot)com and they are under 50-60 dollars and much less

[ernestryles]

@domzdayz2396 a lot of places. plus theres a magical thing called google

[PmanMega]

@domzdayz2396 buy it on amazon.com

[PmanMega]

@domzdayz2396 buy it on amazon.com

[ExpertPlane101]

@domzdayz2396 Go to Google and search KJ Magnetics and click the first result

[RATMAN775]

@domzdayz2396 they have them at radioshack

[VizualShocker]

@domzdayz2396 Magnet Store?

[zongivila]

@domzdayz2396 u can find it in some shops and i think in a hard disc

[jss3100]

@domzdayz2396 you can find them in hard drives

[gabrielzarate3210]

Ha you point the laser that makes sound at it

[FBIdoesntknowmyname]

@gabrielzarate3210 that was a microphone. duh!

[DarkSkittlz]

how did you hook that up?? I know everybody wants to know

[majapet69]

I made this and it worked.It wasn't so loud,but it worked and I don't even payed it

[eckpig826]

what did you attach the alligator clips to?

[mehul999ful]

you even have a machine to cut papers

[majapet69]

@mehul999ful He has everything.

[redbike52]

where do you get these kind of magnets

[FBIdoesntknowmyname]

@redbike52 hardware store. radioshack. broken electronics.

[Se7eNJinx]

does it have to be a plate? If you used something like a CD Case would it make it louder? otherwise this is awesome. :3

[ZebbMassiv]

i wonder how well this would work with a cardboard foxhole radio

[tko182]

Is it possible to use Dark Annealed Steel wire?

[NguyenPGB]

Can you use Paper Plates instead of Styrofoam plates?

[Sturminator64]

Is it weird if I come back to this video many times just to hear the music he plays on the speaker?

[Calebm90]

I'M MAKING THIS



[SmarterProductions]

Can this work with a paper plate, or does it have to be styrofoam?

[thiskyle]

Does the wire have to be coated

[MrMeat42]

:D

[jackmathlin]

I don't have any scotch tape

[sadgeahomlo]

@jackmathlin HAHA LOL

[MrTaurus424]

my jaw just dropped...

[TheZernia]

MakeMagazine, PLEASE make more easy projects like this one.

Not everyone is an engineer!

[TinoTeHG33K]

i might do this one

[NamesROverated]

@MMCCSJ you can find the magnet anywhere -.-

[ryoncooleo]

i wrapped it 100 times

[sayrith]

whats the sound quality?

[snakev10v5]

wow this is so cool ama make it :D but hers the twis am going BIGGER ^_^

[MrHeadsocket]

I made this, It's so quiet though. I used 3, 5mm magnets and magnet wire. Whats going wrong?

[MrHeadsocket]

@MrHeadsocket It works! And mine could be used to fill a whole hall with sound! WOW!

[buba2346]

where can i buy this neodinuiem wathever magnet

[GuitrumVideos]

his name is jose pino? is that mexican for jalepeno?

[1990cujo]

@GuitrumVideos jalepeno is spanish 

[10wilsonm10]

Redneck sspeakers!

[crazyhigman]

i made this and connected ten of them to each other and brought it to a party and it was realy loud

[philosophersstone112]

How do you connect the styrofoam speaker too a stereo and such.

[lofhy]

@philosophersstone112 you have to connect it to a receiver and the received plays the music

[uRiBiTo666]

what song or melody is that?

[JakeLeonard123]

Mybusters tried it a while ago, its busted

[richgriff]

@JakeLeonard123 your incorrect that was a different kind of tutorial

[JakeLeonard123]

@richgriff no it wasnt, it was all the same components

[persian1997]

@JakeLeonard123 no



[persian1997]

@JakeLeonard123 that was completely diferent it was from householdhacker

[MAGplayer23]

I have a pair of head phones that are just speakers in plastic cases

[yvesyvezz]

thumbs up if you did this and it didn't work

[tadavid1999]

@yvesyvezz fail

[souleater19999]

that is fucking awsoum

[96GmusicG96]

if we wired it 200 times and had a 5 time stronger magnet - would it then sound much higher?

[silasw7]

@96GmusicG96 No, It wouldn't.

[realflow100]

@96GmusicG96 no it won't. it probably wouldn't make a bit if difference. you'd need more power then. It only needs to be wrapped around about 5-8 times total.. and about any magnet would do.

[ringman28]

does it have to be a neodymium magnet or can it be a regular magnet?

[TheError404]

@ringman28 Any magnet will work

[ringman28]

@TheError404 cool thnx

[realflow100]

OMFG!!! This video is NOT FAKE!! This works!! you can even see the plate moving!!!

[Tjingelitjong]

@realflow100 Congrats...

[realflow100]

@Tjingelitjong oh and I got it to work with a wire that is only wrapped around about 4-5 times.. and one time with a wire that was only wrapped around twice.. with no special amplifier of any kind. just some cheap E-machine speakers. it wasn't that loud but it worked. and the speaker was really powerful.. I didn't even have the plate on it.. just the copper wire wrapped around itself.. it worked perfectly.

[AnimeKID109]

going to a party a recycling the plates cause you love your beats XD

[Mrviccietor]

where do you live?????

[AntelTutorials]

@Mrviccietor in florida

[Mrviccietor]

@AntelTutorials

oh oke

[kody87061]

Ok i made this and its SUPER QUIET any ideas on making it louder???

[fuck1fuck2fuck3me]

@kody87061 bigger magnet

[realflow100]

@kody87061 Take the wire's from where you plug a huge sub woofer into and wire it up like that. LOL then amplifie it. yes that is spelled wrong and I can't fix it.. I'm too lazy to.

[kev21593]

at the last part i remember that soundtrack it from the over charging li-po battery :)

[XXchocolatetouchXX]

These would make some nice subs for my car...

[dingpickle1]

way better than that fucking household hacker fuck there shit

[techyscott]

Just as a warning to whoever may build this project: DO NOT TURN THE VOLUME UP! the 30 Gage magnet wire is to thin to play music at a high volume. mine wound up getting hotter and hotter and started to smoke! it got so hot that it melted the hot glue on the magnet!

[zackattack831]

i would make a bunch and hang them around my room wiring it to my iPod dock

[jamel4987]

d**n mine booming

[ryan742743]

lol, you're blasting loud music and your mom is like "Shut that music off!" she comes in. "Wheres that sound coming from?" you're eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich off of the paper plate speaker "I don't know"

[xJUGGERNAUTx619]

@ryan742743 its like you turn the speaker back on to what you were playing,

ITS PEANUTBUTTER JELLY TIME, PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!

[Nanotijerina]

better than household's hacker version

lol

[tejwisegangi]

thumbs up if you didn't expect it to work that well!

[BorisBeast]

Do you need a neodymium magnet, or any magnet will do?

[kalpak2022]

@BorisBeast Any magnet will do! They specify Neodymium magnets since they are pretty strong! :)

[BorisBeast]

@kalpak2022 Yeah, any will do, but will it ruin the sound? And can these speakers play voice or just music?

[SuperCheezyGuy]

*Goes to shed*

Have it,

have it,

have it,

DAM!

have it,

have it,

have it,

DAM!

*Goes back to PC*

[josephLtech]

Meh, 1/2 inch wasn't enough. I took it to the next level with 1 inch diameter and 1.5 inch tall magnets. They can pull 90 pounds each. Its not easy to pry them apart if they come together....

[USMCxAK47]

thumbs up if your tired of people telling you to thumbs up.....

[sdsuflyer]

that is the coolest thing i have ever seen ever...EVER

[gawbagecan]

I LOLD HARD!!!!!!!!!

[Technifyd]

it did not work

[KROUTCHY]

the bass is insane!!11!

[boboriginal]

dood i can totally make that... fuck yeah!

[FinalFantasyIXIIII]

thumbs up if... you know that no one cares about thumbs

[mclovin1JB]

damn! thats awesome!

[jragomaster25]

i noticed that there was a lot of rattling and distortion. i'm pretty sure a good way to fix that is add two more business cards so that there is equal suspension on all four sides

[gawbagecan]

@jragomaster25 I LOLD AT THAT TOO



[marioakrt21134]

can you eat off of that?

[TVman154]

that iz fuckin awsum

[HelloitsTovel]

thumbs up if you thought he was going to strip like the guy off jackass.

[426busterboy]

FUCK HOUSHOLD HACKER, kIPkAY SHOWS YOU THE REAL WAY TO DO IT!

[BlackSGMan]

If 60 times gives you a 7 ohm impedance, will 70 turns give you an 8 ohm impedance?

[Wrio619]

The two top comments disappoint me. How original, guys. :\

[anarchymoo]

whaaat the fuckckkkkk

[nerfrulz1]

I'm toatly making it

[mrhandsome25]

Play bass i love you.

[sasa6176]

wow

[alexcastilloz]

Try eating on it while its playing....

[saudkhanist]

hey

where is his cat?
