I'm gonna put this on a stick and use it in my backyard (and hope I don't step in my dogs poop)

does it work better with a stronger or more advanced calculator?

• Hmm by Razorg606, 1195954189 Report sent Spam Reply [+5]

  I think so, because a stronger calculator would go through more cycles per second creating a stronger connection.
• I'll try my scientific calculator by Luxordo5, 1195954760 Report sent Spam Reply [+4]

  and maybe my graphing calculator, I'll also use a bigger radio and try to improve it somehow before going to the park using it.

A little difficult to understand what you're saying sometimes tho. Perhaps try to speak a bit more clearly.

one more thing.. by Wendy_grimes2000, 1202482311 Report sent Spam Reply

dude you totally entertained my kids for a whole day!
thats a record for kids who are constantly wanting something new to do. i gave you a five star rating! not many things that can grab a kids attention as building something on their own that they have fun with.

thanks!

my kids made this in 5 mins by Wendy_grimes2000, 1202481785 Report sent Spam Reply

they had a great time with it. im looking forward to trying to make your more advanced detector. i hope it works and ill let you know!

does this work with a cellphone? my cellphone transmits an odd buzzing signal anytime i get it near my computer speakers or my television when the xbox is hooked up to it. the sound from the cellphone is broadcast out the speakers. weve been told that the computer may be grabbing the signal from the phone as it talks to the satelite. i dunno. ive heard other peoples phones do this as well.

i think it would be fun to rig up a cellphone to transmit odd sounds thru peoples speakers. they would be totally baffled!
