Radio Crystal With One Transistor 2SB178

This Circuit is simple with One NPN Transistor 2SB178, Signal

 selected from LC circuit and pick up with Germanium

 Diode IN34A or IN60 or OA70 and Amplified with Transistor 2SB178 and with Earphone or Headphone with Resistant about 8-2000 Ohm.

The component list

COMPONENT '60 Turns' = L
COMPONENT '500 pF' = CV
COMPONENT 'IN34A/IN60/OA70' = D
COMPONENT '10 nF' = C
COMPONENT '5K6' = R
COMPONENT '2SB178' = TN
COMPONENT '4K7' = R
COMPONENT 'Earphone 8 - 2000 Ohm' = SPKR
COMPONENT '100uF' = CE
COMPONENT 'SWITCH' = SWITCH
COMPONENT '1.5V' = BATTERY
COMPONENT '' = GND

Straight Radio or Crystal Radio

OA70 / IN34 / IN60 is Germanium Radio, choose only one type. Antenna high from Ground is high is possible, ground is a must to Steel Water pipe, or making one from a piece of copper approximately 1 meter down to the ground, so will be voltage between ground and radio wave pick up by antenna.

I have build this Radio and connected input speaker to line input notebook and running with Open Lab software and can pick up Radio Signal from about 6 km air distance.

VLF and ELF Experiment Using Cable TV Antenna

This is simple experiment using Cable TV Antenna , Diode Germanium IN60 and Spectrum Lab Software free download.

Install Spectrum Lab on your computer and connect The Antenna to Diode Germanium IN60 and connect it to your PC/Laptop Micrphone Input. Connect The Ground and Antenna cable to Ground of Microphone Input and you will here some of Local Radio about ....km or ..miles with some noise background.

Warning : Do not try this in the Rainy Days with Lightning come up, It can harms you

Electrochemical Liquid Vortexing Ionization System

This article is nothing to do with antenna system, but because I like to share everything what have been my interest. I will shared to everybody. This article is proved experiment from it's original at http://www.the-elvis.info , Kaialoha foundation, implement and tested cheap device that saving your fuel with low cost and reduce the CO emission to the air.

The writer pleased everybody to share his knowledge, you can copied this article and write it,make it,commercial it,all he ask you only tell his website on your page, like I do.

It is very simple device, all you need is a copper wire, aluminium wire or aluminium from coke,zinc or stainless steel wire,plastic inline fuel filter, and aluminium or stainless steel mesh and neodymium rare earth magnet ( more powerful than ordinary magnet, you can find it from old hard drive or you can experiment with magnet from old speaker).

How to make the recipe ?

Mixed 1/2 teaspoon of copper wire, aluminium wire,and zinc galvanized or stainless steel and break up the neodymium magnet mixed it.
You can find copper wire from old transformator,or old electric motor, and for aluminium you can use from coke can, for stainless steel you can use from coin or spoon or you can buy stainless steel wire,and neodymium magnet you can find it from old hard drive.
This is only my suggestion,maybe you have better ideas for find the ingredients for this project.

My Ilustration of this device :

The Installation :

  On his experiment,this device proved can reduce or saving the use of gasoline or diesel,and also reduce the CO Emission to the air. Last, I will post my experiment with this device on my diesel car to you.

E.L.V.I.S. recipe

How to make your own E.L.V.I.S.

Personal model.

Ingredients:

Copper shot

Aluminum shot

Zinc or Stainless steel shot

Ordinary plastic inline fuel filter

small piece of aluminum or stainless steel mesh

Optional

fancy metal screw type cleanable fuel filter

small Neodymium (rare earth) magnet

Small pice of aluminum

Recipe

Make 1/2 tsp of copper, aluminum, zinc (or stainless steel) shot by cutting approx.1/8 inch pieces of approx. 1/8 inch thick wire. For zinc use ordinary galvanized chainlink fence type wire.

Buy an ordinary economy plastic fuel filter intended for the engine you have in mind. Or use a more expensive metal screw open replacable/cleanable type.

Insert all the shot one by one into the filter through the intake tube. Tap it all down into the canister.

Optional: Break up a neodymium (rare earth) magnet small enough to insert a small piece in with the beads.

Either of the following

1) Cut a small unpainted piece of aluminum from a beer can to 1/4 inch long and wide as the inside diameter of output tube. make a longitudinal 1/2 twist in it (like a barber pole). Insert tightly into output tube so that no bead can get through. (test this)

2) Cut a 1/4 inch x 1/2 inch approx piece of stainless steel or aluminum mesh with holes smaller than 1/8 inch. Roll or fold it and insert into output tube so as to prevent beads from coming through. Test this.

Installation

Install like an ordinary extra fuel filter observing the direction arrows - input tube toward fuel tank, output tube toward fuel pump/carburetor. Must be located after the normal fuel filter and before the fuel pump/carburetor. Your normal filter now prefilters the fuel prolonging the life of the E.L.V.I.S. by slowing down clog up. Use extra fuel hose as needed but locate E.L.V.I.S. as close to fuel pump/carburetor as possible and stabilize it in some manner in a level position away from heat sources.

E.L.V.I.S. will work forever and never wear out. However. Since the EL Cheapo version above uses a paper element filter, it will eventually clog up even with another filter prefiltering the fuel. This will probably take years (if you change the prefilter at recommended intervals). When it eventually clogs up...well you'll have to pass up another Starbucks latte :-) Those who want to avoid this can use a fancy metal screwtype filter and replace the filter element with the beads. No clogging problem ever.

Commercial model.

Same recipe and ingredients as the personal model but with the following modifications. Big trucks, buses, construction machines usually use a large canister type fuel filter with hydraulic type lines and fittings.

The cheapest method:

Fill the element canister 1/2 to 2/3 with shot/magnet so the reservoir is ionized and then sucked through the filter.

The expensive method:

Install another fuel filter canister made as above. This involves extra lines and fittings that have to be made by qualified hydraulic mechanics. This is not expensive as the components are stock.

Good for all engines, marine/autos/pickups, gas or diesel. Not LPG...
