小冬冬历险记

I wanted to build a spark gap transmitter-you know, for fun. However, things didn’t start off so great. Here is how it went down.

我想制造一个火花隙变送器，这很有趣。 但是，事情并没有开始那么好。 这是怎么回事。

My first plan was to build this.

我的第一个计划是建造这个。

I like it, but it uses an ignition coil and some other thing. However, check out the receiver. That’s awesome. It’s a coherer receiver (I think) and it basically detects a spark with those two bolts in the plastic sleeve. There should be some iron filings or something in between the bolts. When a spark is detected, the filings jump the gap and make it a conductor. I’m not sure why the LED light is connected to a 9 volt battery though.

我喜欢它，但是它使用点火线圈和其他东西。 但是，请检查接收器。 棒极了。 我想它是一个集热器接收器，它基本上通过塑料套筒中的两个螺栓检测到火花。 螺栓之间应有一些铁屑或一些东西。 当检测到火花时，锉屑会跳开间隙并使其成为导体。 我不确定为什么LED灯会连接到9伏电池。

After that, I just did some google searches for spark gap transmitter and attempted to build the designs I saw. None of them had capacitor values, so I just had to guess. But they didn’t work.

在那之后，我只是做了一些谷歌搜索火花隙变送器，并试图建立我所看到的设计。 它们都没有电容器值，因此我只需要猜测。 但是他们没有用。

I honestly thought I knew how to do this. I tried a step up transformer with a capacitor. Nope. Actually, I was getting a spark on the battery side but not the step up voltage side. How did I even pass physics courses?

老实说，我以为我知道该怎么做。 我尝试了带电容器的升压变压器。 不。 实际上，我在电池端发了火花，但在升压端却没有。 我什至如何通过物理课程？

Here is my attempt with a transformer.

这是我尝试使用变压器的尝试。

Finally, I found a page that used an electromechanical bell. That works.

最终，我找到了一个使用机电铃的页面。 这样可行。

I decided to build my own oscillator from scratch.

我决定从头开始构建自己的振荡器。

Homework (for me)

作业(对我来说)

• Make this more solid (the connection to the steel plate is iffy.
  使其更牢固(与钢板的连接不稳定)。
• Could you replace the steel plate with a paperclip?
  可以用回形针代替钢板吗？
• Can you change the buzzing frequency by adding weights to the oscillating bar?
  您可以通过在振动条上增加权重来更改蜂鸣频率吗？
• Use a step up transformer to get BIGGER SPARKS.
  使用升压变压器获得更大的火花。
• What about an antenna?
  天线呢？
• Build a coherer detector.
  建立一个相干探测器。
