![]() ![]() The motor emits electromagnetic waves that are picked up by Spooky's antenna coils, and we hear the results translated through computer software in real time.spooky!! ![]() The next movie shows "Spooky", the radio, beside a Dancing Ghost homopolar motor. In the following video, the Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio is used to give voice to a Mac Hyperspace screensaver! The simple crystal circuit is apparently sensitive to the screen synchronization RF frequencies, and so it provides awesome background sounds.check it out: In the following accompanying movies, I show how the Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio reacts to lightning, radio frequencies, the light spectrum, the computer screen, RF pulses, electromagnetic fields and more! (Besides, AM radio wasn't exactly what Nikola Tesla was interested in.in fact, he believed it was a waste of energy to transmit and receive Hertzian waves!)īy using a program like Audio Hyjack Pro (Mac), the radio's output is tweaked at the computer to give some great real-time sound effects.and you can record them at the same time. You can listen to AM broadcasts with this radio, but it was made to have fun with in other ways. The versatile 1N34A crystal germanium diode used here, substitutes for the tricky rotating nickel detectors and sensitive relays, used by Tesla in the late 1800's. It's a sound maker that plugs in to a computer, and makes awesome spooky sounds by responding to electromagnetic fields or light sources in real time.Īthough Tesla used different parts, this radio's basic L-C (Inductor-Capacitor) circuit uses a similar schematic to what Tesla experimented with in his early days. ![]() The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio is more than just a crystal radio circuit in a jam-jar. "My first observations positively terrified me as there was present in them something mysterious, not to say supernatural, and I was alone in my laboratory at night" - Nikola Tesla, 1901 article " Talking With The Planets" From GODD Games at: Have a look at the Crystal Quantum Radio devices of EJ Gold that helped inspire this instructable: The theme is monsters and bats are battled while helping Mrfixitrick find the seven missing parts of the Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio. The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio and Mrfixitrick are featured in a PC game called "Tesla". Many thanks to Mike of Mikes Electronic Parts, who as of October 2015, has a new website that features a Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio Kit with most of the essential parts for this cool project. ![]()
