How to make a TV out of beer cans

There are situations when for normal TV viewing requires installation of the receiving antenna. Especially often this need occurs in rural areas, when the TV is in the summer house, or did you take a portable TV on a picnic or camping tent. Craftsmen Samodelkin will find a technical way out of such situations. TV antenna you can make out of the ordinary tin cans of beer or sprite. moreover the quality of the received signal is very good.

Instruction

Difficulty level: Easy

What you will need:

2 empty cans

tape or gaffer's tape

antenna cable

two screws and screwdriver

plug

wooden plank, stick or hanger

step 1

Before you complain about your country TV, try to equip it with a homemade antenna. You will need to do this much, namely, two more (even number) cans.

Cans thoroughly washed from their drinking content. Pay attention to the banks were not dented or damaged, as this will affect the quality of the received signal, and the appearance jammed containers will not add aesthetics, because the antenna will be on view.

2 step

In the base of each jar is screwed the screw. The base is stronger than the thin side, so the screws will be fixed more reliably. Then banks will need to attach to a wooden plank with adhesive tape (Scotch tape or duct tape). Banks should not touch each other. Moreover, between the two cans must be a certain distance. To determine this gap, you can go through experimentation and to evaluate the quality of the signal, bringing and removing banks.

3 step

Antenna cable cleaved from isolation with one hand. The wires are released from the coating. Each of the two wires is screwed onto the screw fixed on the Bank.

When the distance between the cans, as a rule, it is rasseyanie in 7 to 10 cm, can be screwed banks to the wooden plank.

step 4

For convenience, you can use not just a wooden plank or stick, and use a wooden hanger. It will be doubly useful, as the hanger has a hook on which to hang the antenna in a convenient location. To protect from precipitation antenna elements, each jar should be Packed in a plastic bottle larger open space connections to protect the tape.

5 step

So without special knowledge in electrical engineering, you can build the antenna for reception quality of the signal. They say that the level of acceptance depends on the brand of beer that was in the Bank. This is hard to judge, but may not be the same alloy metal, which is used for the manufacture of tin containers have value.
