Hey,
Some of you may have seen the t.v. show "The colony". The stuff this guy comes up with confuses me. So i decided to join this forum in hopes for some answers. I will make several threads refering to differnet inventions from different episodes.
The fist one I have is the spark gap transmitter. I get the concept of how it works, but the trouble im having is that.
At 3:27, is that the transformer that he says increases power from 120v to thousands of volts?
At 7:08, what kind of electronic parts turn DC into AC?
If someone can give me a rundown on how this whole thing works would be great.
Another question. Could you make a homemade step up transformer? info on that would be great to.
here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWkTcAIuAE4
Thanks.
