Grants Pass TV Repair | Antenna experiment. Flying kite with wire. Deadly warning in info section @GrantsPassTVRepair | Uploaded 10 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Warning! This experiment would be deadly if this long wire antenna was to make contact with the power lines. so please don't try this near any electrical transmission wires or during lightning storms.
In this video I wanted to see how loud my crystal radio would be if I used a long wire antenna to fly my kite. I used 3 to 4 hundred feet of wire for this experiment, and my antenna was picking up so much energy from a near by AM radio station transmitter antenna, that when I lightly touched the end of the wire burnt the outer layer of my skin.
I have been reluctant to make this video public out of fear that someone might try this and get electrocuted, but I'm hoping most of my viewers are intelligent enough to understand the dangers of doing this near high voltage wires or lightning storms which could result in instant death.
