The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio is a crystal radio in a jam jar that's able to "receive" a moving computer screen-saver, and respond with rich real-time sound effects!

The radio's sensitive antennas pick up on the RF emanations of the computer screen. The crystal circuit delivers an audio signal to the computer, where the software app Audio Hijack Pro increases gain and alters the pitch in real time.

This screensaver example features a journey across Hyperspace, and back, through wormholes. All sounds are generated in real-time by the radio and software.

The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio won the Gadget Freak award by Design News, the oldest engineering news magazine:

The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio was inspired by EJ Gold's wonderful Crystal Quantum Radios: http://www.yoyodyneindustries.com

  • Solidness isn't an illusion, its just a name for a specific phenomenon. So we don't fully understand the science behind that phenomenon, and our theories might be flawed, though its not like matter is tricking us into believe something about it. I'm just saying this because illusion DOES NOT exist in any scientific subject. And especially in things like quantum mechanics, throwing around terms can actually be counter productive, as our definitions and explanations for things get confused..

  • @frankenshizzle

    It's not matter that tricks us, but our minds. Solidness is a perceptual condition that is not necessarily permanent. (ask any ghost...or yogi! haha)

    Werner Heisenberg, the inventor of quantum mechanics, says:

    "The ontology of materialism rested upon the illusion that the kind of existence, the direct "actuality" of the world around us, can be extrapolated into the atomic range. This extrapolation is impossible, however."

  • @MrfixitRick And I would argue that illusion is not correct term to describe solidness. I would say "solidness" is an accurate and completely valid observation. An analogy of what Im trying to say would be how we study weather. We can accurately predict where a mass of water (cloud) will be in the near future, but we don't make this prediction by studying the very random movements of a water molecule. Rather we look at the system and the patterns that an uncountably many water-molecules produce

  • @frankenshizzle

    My father used to fly bombers in WW2, and said the hard thing to get used to was hitting clouds because they looked so solid.

    Perhaps there is a different perspective available to humans. From the point of view of the 50 trillion neutrinos that pass through our bodies each second, we are completely transparent.

    "An independent reality, in the ordinary physical sense, can neither be ascribed to the phenomena nor to the agencies of observation."

    Niels Bohr, quantum physicist

  • very nice audio conversion/prog;-).....however­, it was really annoying to read the cheezy pseudo-science quote at the beginning, all about "gee whiz we're all flying thru wormholes every minute" kind of thing,,, ugghh, that sorta puts a severe cornyness on things, eh?

  • @robelicit

    Corny? Not really.

    Read the latest physics and you will find similar ideas; mini-blackholes, white-holes, dark matter, dark energy...all around us. It is now known that less than 5% of the mass of the universe is what we call matter. What we normally see as the solidness of our universe is an illusion.

    See physicist Michio Kaku talk about how the Earth is being bombarded by mini-blackholes constantly in YouTube watch?v=rk8Vr00EBHA

  • this reminds me of silent hill

  • be great to have one on each side to produce stereo sound (google translation)

  • @MrfixitRick So this how i see "solidness". Its a pattern and a system, that is simply to complex to by observed at sub-atomic level. Though this doesn't make solidness invalid or fake anymore than movements of molecules makes weather an illusion

  • @MrfixitRick ..I'm a fan of M. Kaku + many physicists & familiar with ideas of primordial black holes; i'm open minded & agree that almost "matter" is not solid so much as condensed clouds of energy, elements on various scales--elusive to our attempts to pin-down interactions & forces.

    Yet it hurts our understanding by claiming things re: wormholes in vague ways; i could claim to be flying at hi speed simply because Earth is moving in it's orbit--but that's exaggerated a whole lot!
