How to Make a Foxhole Radio

one word...wow

They tuned in to the BBC which purposely projected and reflected their signal so resistance fighters and allied soldiers could listen

He's almost there. There is something similar called a crystal radio. It uses no batteries and has a crystal that converts the energy of a broadcast signal back into an audio signal.

The ground means that you have to connect the ground wire to any grounded metal such as electrical box or the round hole (the third hole) in the outlet, just be careful not to plug it in to the other ones you may get shocked. You can also stick a rod into the ground and connect the ground wire to it.

I made my own foxhole radio n it works fine isntead of using a piece of pencil and a burned razor blade I used a diode that I had taken from a radio and I noticed that it woks just fine.

AWESOME! It works good! It's neat how the heated blade makes it work as a diode.

correct, the radio frequencies the coil picks up will be re-emitted and then amplified. The intense radiation will induce electrical currents in your brain and cause it to fry... FATALITY radio wins!

the thing you stand on

a wire connection with a hot water radiator plumbing or water tap or iron embedded in watery ground, even just a wire lying on wet ground, I think.

GI's didnt have toilet rolls. and you could have just used a germanium diode.

Stealing electricity with coils isn't that easy. MythBusters only managed to get eight millivolts from a giant coil set up near high-voltage power lines. (see Tiny URL code 4VWRBS)

you die

Hey why do i have to wind it 120 times?

And if i wind like 200 times, what happens?

wow no batteries required?

whats a ground
