We are building a LC-circuit into a radio-transmitting-circuit and explain how a radio works. The propagation of electromagnetic waves is visualized. An explanation of a receiver is also provided. (This is an old workprint from 2019. At the moment I am working on a more interactive version of visualization of electricity. So this project is still paused.)

    Absolutely an amazing resource! What a great visualization, must have taken a lot of time, but very appreciated

    Excellent visuals. It helps so much. I wish we’d had this technology back when I was in college. Well done!

    This design is based on tech originated in Germany: 1) thin metal layers (aluminum foil in our first device) each separated by an insulation layer. We used store-bought aluminum foil for each metal layer. This lamination of foil-insulator-foil-insulator-foil etc. sits horizontally on the workbench 2) signal generator supplying a small RF amplifier feeds into radial and horizontally-oriented eddy current coils that are immediately adjacent to, but do not touch, the foils lamination 3) a vertically-oriented, axial magnetic field passes through the center of the foils lamination Right hand rule. The B field is vertical, the electric (eddy) currents are horizontal, resulting in the Lorentz force producing coherent accelerations of the charged particles in the foil lamination. The thickness of the foil gives a 'skin depth' that indicates a running frequency (from the siggen to the eddy current-inducing coils) of 16.28 Mhz This design was improved by: - adjusting the dimensions of the foils lamination - adjusting the frequency - with a goal to produce resonant standing waves across the foils We work at artificial gravity devices and this was our first attempt. .

    Bravo for explaining this principle by your knowledge of this subject - and the detailed logical exposition.

    I had always wondered how the oscillation started and what maintained it. So I found your explanation quite helpful. I can’t help but be curious now how this circuit would be changed for generating both side band and frequency modulation. Thanks for your effort here!
  • Thank you for doing this video I always wonder what was a Mixer for AM but never found information, Great videos.
  • @user-lb8bg6kj9m
    Thank you so much sir. I will have to go through this video once again to have a good understanding of it.
  • Great video. Easy to understand the concepts. Thanks. You forgot to mention the software you used to make this excellent video.
  • @nuxboxen
    Excellent video, very very good explanation.
  • Thank you for sharing the video. Concept of operation explained clearly. One question, how much power is consumed by the RF transmitter. Such circuits used in TV remote controls. Looks like the power consumed all the time Hence how long the battery can last?
  • Thank you for the great desire to share your knowledge even with the language barrier. I am very thankful for the information very helpful to me, you have one new subscriber

    Nice animation. In my point of view the thing that could be better is speech presentation but I think it is a matter of time and amount of uploading video. Keep it up! :)

    Gracias, finalmente entiendo cómo funciona el Senku's phone de Dr stone
