Stranded? How to Make a Primitive Radio Transmitter | SPARK GAP RADIO (ft. Plasma Channel)

Описание: ►WHAT IS THIS
Before such breakthroughs as AM radio, radios would rely on a binary sort of transmission called Morse Code. This signal was send as radio noise (1) or lack thereof (0).
With the help of Plasma Channel, we recreate a spark gap radio similar to how its inventor, Marconi, would have made it over 100 years ago.
DISCLAIMER: In most places in the world, it is not allowed to transmit using a spark gap. We informed the FCC and conducted our work indoors to not affect the airwaves.
