funny thing is that mythbusters KNOW that.. they are engineers xD they did all that I DIDNT WORK! thing because they were trying to show ppl that tried it that its BULLCRAP!
Which is why I dont watch the show... Not because its a bad show, but because all you need is a few simple calculations and ta da... lol but no, they wanna drag it out for a freakin hour long haha, my time is much more precious then that.
FINALLY I have found a young person who busts the myth that all kids are idiots nowadays. Good video young man, I can see that you have read a few books and paid attention in class. Its scary how many idiots the village called America is raising nowadays!
THAT is why teacher's unions should be disbanded!
it was never supposed to work, it was faked. look at other things he has done.
"powering a full size tv with an AAA battery?" by pluging it into the left and right audio jacks? making a cellphone intercepter by short circuting a remote and taping it in a bowl? hes just being a shit-disterber
householdhacker's videos are made for laughs and for reaching high page views. Unfortunately, not everyone knows his purpose. So what they do is they "try" it themselves and ended up disgusted because it isn't working. His videos are popular because a lot of people expect that they can build things with only a few bucks and little effort.
It's funny because i found some kids that replied to household hacker or posted a video related to it that showed that it was working with an ipod... there is a small chance that it may work if you insulate the penny from the pie dish... there might be some induction that takees place but it won't be "hi-def"... maybe deaf to the ears at any rate... i'd love to see if it works even if its a shitty sound.
* correction connect the penny with the positive terminal of the headphone out and then insulate the penny with a thin piece of scotch tape from the pie dish (dispite procedure explained by household hacker) then charge the foil with the other end of the headphone jack (negative) using another peice of scotch tape... i still doubt it will work but it makes more sense than a shorted load... i'm not sure which one will burn your ipod out faster, lol
It wouldn't work at all. I'm an electronic technician and I fully understand how speakers work, and what they are made of to produce sound. If you insulate the penny, then you are creating an open circuit. Now from the demo he did in the video, he just connected the end of the wires to the penny, short-circuiting the whole circuit. It's not going to work without making use of coils and magnets.
as an electrical engineer you must already understand that you must provide proof of concept... which you digress as theres no substance to your views... if you know how speakers work you must explain that there is an inductive loaded design by part of a magnet which completes the second half of the load... I don't want to put words in your mouth but it seems funny one would pipe up with no useful information
I definitely know how speakers work. It's part of my training in school and years of experience as a technician. I'm posting comments here, NOT to dissiminate information on how to make speakers work, so I don't need to show schematic diagrams, if that is what you want. I'm posting here to tell the youtube ppl that householdhacker is playing jokes, and that is all to it. People ignorant to the electronic world are being toyed by him without them knowing it. That is aweful.
I don't mean to be insulting but unless you have any useful information I really have nothing to add. I've been through tube amp design which most people have no opportunity these days because its been phased out in most schools but if you can understand basic principals of tube amp design then solid state comes very easy... its not a pissing match in fact i would like to hear your views on how to make the circuit work...
I think its plausable to get that sheet of tin foil to resonate... its probably a strech to call it high def but you should at least be able to get the foil to move or make a noise.. thats a step forward at least.
I noticed that too. But knowing that, that simple design may actually work if you throw in a few other simple components. Maybe ever add an external amplifier because I highly doubt those could generate a sound worth hearing 2+ feet away. There's just too much resistance.
You can make it work if you can "vibrate" the foil. As you can see, vibrations make the sounds you hear. You can produce vibrations using magnets and coils, also called electromagnets. Electromagnets can be moved by current passing through it, this movement when transformed to vibrations produce sound. That is why all speakers have magnets, and coils inside them. Without them, you cannot make sound.
I know all that. I think it would work better if the working had more support too. Having it just sit upon the foil would deminish the quality indefinatly.
so what do you think would happen if you wrapped the plate up like a tube, wrapped it in tinfoil, coiled wire around it then taped a magnet to it...... u think it would work???
Never mind, I missed the myth-buster video part. I just saw it. BS of course. This is along with the other hoax DIY or HACKS. The youtube video link below shows it does not work.
its probably possible to run a tv off a series of AAA batteries using a transformer and a voltage regulator circuit... maybe only for 2-3 minutes but i think its possible... i would imagine this would be be easier with lcd type tv's as they require much less start up current than a cathode ray tube TV and thus making the circuit design a little less daunting.
you would also need a recifier circuit to invert dc to 110v ac... which isn't a big deal if you have the current supply needed... i think 1 aaa is a stretch for sure.... but a bunch of them i'm sure its possible to light it up for a few minutes, lol.. if someone out there knows for sure let me know! I don't think its that far out...
When you connect both audio wires to the same penny you are shorting the audio to ground. This is the same as twisting the wires together. Some stupid punk kid put the hi-def speaker thing up to confuse people. He/She obviously hav NO knowledge of electricity and how it works!! By the way teflon, rectifier circuits don't turn dc to ac; it's the other way around. Come on dude, that's basics!!
Yes, I think we all understand that its a shorted load.
I meant to say inverter... I was tired and sleepy and thinking ac/dc converion for some reason, lol. I doubt anyone would want to go to the bother to string a series of AA's together but a 12v car battery and a voltage inverter and regulation ccircuit/ short protected of course... really isn't that big of a ddeal.. i think the only variable we are changing is the capacity of stored energy.
i won't touch the remote control phone interceptor but! you might be able to charge an ipod with a bunch of lemons and a few zinc and copper probes or strips.. the acid reacts differently to the metals and creates positive and negative charges; these charges create current, which will flow if the battery circuit is complete... a DMM will confirm your voltage and current supply... once you run out of current you can be sure no more charging will take place and you will need to find more lemons!

Household hacker makes silly fake videos like:
-run a TV off of a AAA battery,
-intercept cell phone calls with a universal remote
-charge an ipod using only an onion and gatorade
I'm suprised Myth Busters even did a short on his vids...
