A crystal radio is basically a high Q resonator tied to an antenna and an envelope detector. These days the envelope detector is a point contact diode such as a 1N34 Germanium diode. The resonant ...

The possibility of producing FM crystal radio is shown in this project which can produce a sound with high fidelity that is as good as or better than more expensive AM radios when connected as a ...

A staple of starting off in electronics ion years past was the crystal set radio, an extremely simple AM radio receiver with little more than a tuned circuit and a point contact diode as its ...

If you are ready to take a break from high-speed, complex digital systems, consider becoming a “rock hound” and constructing a crystal radio, one of the earliest forms of receivers. For close to 100 ...

Tesla’s Spirit Radio uses a simple crystal radio circuit connected to a computer sound-in jack to generate spooky sounds from all kinds of electromagnetic sources. As you will see, it creeped the hell ...
