Getting FREE Wi-Fi With A Parabolic Reflector

[wpockl]

Fantastic! I tried it to boost reception on my blue-ray player, works great in my opinion. I used a large throw away turkey pan. Keep the great ideas rolling!

chrome it ...

[mrspicer1]

Regardless of what these fools say. You went out of your way to make a DIY video to help others with there own projects. I give you 2 thumbs up. I would give you more but I only have two hands and one thumb on each.

hooray for windows xp zune theme :D

this guy had some atistic skills. thats sickkkk lol

@XxXbadnewsxXx Ghetto applications often times seem "artistic," don't they? Especially when they work so well :)

[Thumpleck]

and where is parabolic reflector in this video?

Pictures are taken in bad quality and lot of details goes undetected. Why the rush with changing pictures so fast?

[BrokenHorn90]

@Thumpleck Wow, where to begin?

1. If you look through the comments (of which there are few, and maybe you just don't like to read), you'll see I willingly admit the reflector is not parabolic, but is still quite effective, regardless.

2. The pictures were taken with a 5.1 MegaPixel camera, and the screenshots are in 1280x resolution - as well as the video being available in 480p - if you can't see, consult a doctor.

3. YouTube allows you to pause, rewind, and replay videos.

4. Trollfail.

It's not illegal cracking networks either - as long as you don't get caught ;-0

[MrHairyNutz]

Its not illegal connecting to an open network & there are tons of networks open where i live.

I don't get is to ur signal goes down?

[BrokenHorn90]

@celtik916 Because it's directional and it was facing opposite of my router, yes; it only makes sense that other signals it's facing would get strong, and my router's signal (which was "behind" it) would get weaker.

[celtik916]

@BrokenHorn90 Ok thx and wow that was a fast reply

[RoXs9o]

@celtik916 Cause u must pint the ''parabol'' its only catches signals at where u point!

[drboose]

Hey hey, cool video. Just so you know, there is no parabolic shape in this video - this is more like a reflector.

[BrokenHorn90]

@drboose Yeah, you're absolutely correct. A parabola is more round, whereas this is more cubic. The equation I used was to find the focal point of a parabola, though. Even if it is just a reflector, it works great. And it was way better than just throwing it out :D But, again, you're absolutely correct. This is by no means a "parabolic" reflector - just a reflector (which still works).

you should show us about how to boost wifi range all over the housee!!! thre was only a computer with usb adapter and it works only on that computer.. stupid how fuckin' can u get..

[BrokenHorn90]

1) Changing variables like position of the computer and adapter as from when I first collected data would violated one of the most important rules in the scientific method: consistency.

2) Of course it's just the one computer and one adapter. Again - consistency. Regardless of where the computer and adapter were, the bottom line is that the reflector makes a significant difference than without.

3) Perfect the English language so we can coherently discuss how flawed your argument is.

[choc0chips91]

mothe fucker

[choc0chips91]

you must show us how to boost wifi range all over the house!! this one computer only get the better signal.. stupid how fucker can you get..

[Digiwelly]

-_- shame

[BrokenHorn90]

lolwut  `.`

[Digiwelly]

I judge you. stealing teh internetz

(>-_-)> shame.

[BrokenHorn90]

Judged by a Doughnut? NEVA! t(-_-t) Besides, this was just demoing the potential for the parabolic reflector. I pay for my own internet :) (The BELKIN connection you see).
