  • ... you can get a 1/8" jack for $0.01

  • He did it wrong! One wire goes above the penny, and the other goes below

  • I'm guessing that putting the penny in between the wires is kind of like winding copper around a metal to create an electromagnet or voice coil. Here the tinfoil is the speaker cone, the penny and jack wires are the voice coil, there is no spider to aid in moving the tin foil and no magnet to attract and repel the electromagnet witch is why it may not work. If you have a deep sort of bowl, fit a magnet use paper instead of tin foil and a use conductive metal it may work but i can't guarantee.

  • @antontonybekker hahaha what an idiot, like that would make any difference!!!

  • @antontonybekker have you tried it?

  • he hooked the wires from the jacks wrong one wire goes under the penny while one goes over the penny!!!

  • @FoxShot01 Me neither...I didn't know that new pennies aren't copper...

  • @Neonspinnazz30 I don't know how conductive it is, I'm just pointing out it isn't copper.

  • @FoxShot01 Interesting...I don't think Zinc is that conductive either though...

  • @Neonspinnazz30 Pennies are made out of Zinc now. If it was made of copper, it likely isn't a shiny one, unless they payed much more for an old penny that was preserved.
