The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio is an un-powered crystal radio that picks up the vibes of the Dancing Ghost, which is a simple homopolar motor that rotates .

In this case, it is the world's simplest radio detecting the world's simplest electric motor!

The audio signal from the radio gets sent to the computer, where Audio Hijack Pro software alters it in real time and we hear the spooky sounds.

  • Have you tried that with out the paper towel on the motor?

  • @PerfectParasite

    Yes, have a look at some of my other movies in my "homopolar motor" playlist. I've done lots of experiments with this old but neglected principle.

  • A pleasant reminder that such people exist. Cool project! Beats drooling in front of a telly, or slouching in sports bars. In fact, it rocks!

    You know,.. Tesla was quite convinced that he was receiving intelligent signals from outerspace. And then there is George Lawrence too. ;)

  • Tesla was the first to record regular pulses from Jupiter. It was decades later before the Jupiter triple pulse was proven to exist by mainstream science.

  • I guess im not smart enough to no what this was all about... on to the next vid

  • In Tesla's essay "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy" (1900) easily found on Google, Tesla discusses "The First Practical Telaumaton." He seems to imply (to this reader,) That a Telaumaton should posess a sense of self-recognition, that it responds to a certain "Name." Your Dancing Ghost seems the perfect Kachina for that ;) Like clouds, busted and decoded by Wilhelm Reich's Orgone, she seems to give Binah's sky juice to your Radio. Right on Maestro. (Reich's work remains in Maine, btw.)

  • @MrfixitRick These forces would have been thought spirits before science gave them new definitions

  • These radios would be perfect for generating the kinds of sounds used in games like Silent Hill 2 (an all time favorite of mine). I can see these devices being very useful for music and sound effect related stuff.

    Thanks again.

  • I live in a forest now, but the hum from AC power predominates the signal, especially inside the computer. The gain is raised so high to make the system sensitive, that AC gets amplified too. I try to block some of it with software.

    Good question about the sun!

    The sun will make sound with the crystal radio...but only when the sunlight is broken to make a varying signal. Straight sunlight, or even laser, won't make a sound unless it is moved over the diode to produce an alternating signal.

  • you should go somewhere like a forest where there is little interference and try to see what you pick up. Also, wouldn't the sun's light make noise?
