  2. Crystal radio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_radio

    The detector was a cat whisker detector, consisting of a piece of galena with a thin wire in contact with it on a part of the crystal, making a diode contact. As a crystal radio has no power supply, the sound power produced by the earphone comes solely from the transmitter of the radio station being received, via the radio waves captured by the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_receiver_design

    A crystal set receiver consisting of an antenna, a variable inductor, a cat's whisker, and a filter capacitor. A crystal receiver is very simple and can be easy to make or even improvise, for example, the foxhole radio. However, the crystal radio needs a strong RF signal and a long antenna to operate.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Simplest_crystal...

    English: Circuit of the simplest possible crystal radio receiver. Circuits of this type were used in the first experimental crystal radio receivers in the pioneering days of radio, just after 1900. It consists of a crystal detector (semiconductor diode) DI connected between a long wire antenna and ground, with a sensitive earphone E1 attached ...

  5. Foxhole radio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxhole_radio

    The foxhole radio, like a mineral crystal radio receiver, had no power source and ran off the power received from the radio station. They were named, likely by the press, for the foxhole, a defensive fighting position used during the war. There are also accounts of prisoners of war in World War II and in the Vietnam War having constructed ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_homebrew

    Homebrew is an amateur radio slang term for home-built, noncommercial radio equipment. [1] Design and construction of equipment from first principles is valued by amateur radio hobbyists, known as "hams", for educational value, and to allow experimentation and development of techniques or levels of performance not readily available as commercial products.

  7. Radio receiver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_receiver

    Today these simple radio receivers are constructed by students as educational science projects. The crystal radio used a cat's whisker detector, invented by Harrison H. C. Dunwoody and Greenleaf Whittier Pickard in 1904, to extract the audio from the radio frequency signal.

  8. Crystal detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_detector

    Crystal radios had no amplifying components to increase the loudness of the radio signal; the sound power produced by the earphone came solely from the radio waves of the radio station being received, intercepted by the antenna. Therefore, the sensitivity of the detector was a major factor determining the sensitivity and reception range of the ...

  9. Batteryless radio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batteryless_radio

    Crystal radio receivers are a very simple kind of batteryless radio receiver. They do not need a battery or power source, except for the power that they receive from radio waves using their long outdoor wire antenna. Sharp Electronics' first electrical product was a batteryless crystal radio introduced in 1925.
