Dual Tunable Exciters
updated
The negative and positive rods create ~1.6V when in the water, to power the oscillator primary coil. The coil is made from 30AWG, 24+24 turns, created on the pills bottle itself. The secondary coil, made from 24 turns of 30AWG then outputs the oscillations via a diode.
How quickly the oscillator fires, is controlled by the tuning variable pot, for overall tuning, with the 'keyboard keys' selecting the notes.
Here's is MilkywayOutcast's 'Sirens' video:

The station is only 450W, hardly a 'swamper' as may be expected for reception with no conventional aerial or ground. Others, such as KRMG in nearby Tulsa are 50,000W. Yet, KBIX comes through fine on a regular crystal radio earphone (made from the earpiece of a 1970's telephone handset).
The powered speaker was used for demonstration purposes.

A 'softmod' would have been far easier, if my DVD drive would read DVD+R's.
However, it doesn't and the Thomson drive is well known for that issue.
Otherwise, I could have used a game save from exploited games such as the original Splinter Cell. That original disc would go in the XBOX and then I could have put a working dashboard on the system.
This route has been for how to get a thoroughly knackered XBOX up and running, then modded.

The solar wavers are available everywhere it seems, here in the USA they're especially noted for being on sale at Dollar Tree (everything is $1).
The wavers come apart readily. The coil can be tricky but using heat on the plastic underneath the coil makes things easier. Each waver has 1 coil, 1 solar cell, a circuit board and a neo or ceramic magnet... very useful things for the cost.

To clarify, the circuit being used is from one of the shown waving flowers from the dollar store. The coils are also from them.
The 2nd rotor has had 2 small magnets placed over each original tiny magnet. The additional magnetism allowed the cogged rotor to lock on to the powered rotor at a further distance than planned.
After 6 hours, the 2 are still locked :)
The need for only 1 1/2hrs of good light means the circuit and especially capacitors don't have to be subjected to strong sunlight. Such conditions can dry out the capacitors.
That is also why the solar cells are placed on the top of the design. The motor can be otherwise shaded.
Btw, the coil is from a dollar store solar waver and measures 500 ohms resistance.
youtube.com/user/sMartcreations2010
To note, the 4 magnets on the rotor are all North facing.
The TL;DR is, they're completely fine and work as expected, arriving in a well constructed box :)
In total, the power came on and went back off about 8 times, with a few minutes between each event.
Here's his original video: youtube.com/watch?v=K7Lz94VnY6Y
The circuit used here is a simple reed switch + coil.
A coil is connected directly to one power input and its other input runs via the reed switch. When the reed closes from a magnet passing, the coil emits its magnetic field to push the rotor around.
A diode or LED can sit across the coil, connected opposite to the power input, to stop the reed switch being damaged by any electrical arcing.
Apparently it always used to hum a bit when my wife last used it...before we met in 2005 !!!
It doesn't hum now :)

For $1, it 'offers' sound, light and annoyance at 20 paces.
Any of the 'Whoop' types could be altered like this, if for some reason you wanted to. The stronger motored examples will be able to handle the extra weight better than the weedy ones.
To try, would be the Furibee F36, JJRC H37, Eachine Santa. Any of the Lego block carrying types would be fine. as would any that have been converted to FPV.
If the EGR pipe is blocked and in combination with a blocked EGR manifold, it can lead to higher engine temperatures. The result of which? a head gasket failure at around 150K miles.
Cleaning the pipe is a straight forward enough method of helping to avoid such a situation.
An oil catch can is also helpful as an install, which NutsAboutBolts covers in his excellent maintenance series.

My video is intended to compliment his, to show likely different angles and techniques. Also maybe 1 or 2 tips for fellas like myself who are fresh to such maintenance.
We're redoing the livingroom at the moment and part of which was bringing out a TV from a bedroom. We've never had TV service while living here and have zero experience of digital channel reception at the house.
TV is a Philips 37PF5322D/37
A self repaired junk find, dating to 2008.
The caps in the power supply section were dried out, from having been located next to a large heatsink. I replaced those and also a large burnt out diode. The chirping sound plus no screen output problems were fixed.
Since then, 8 years ago, it's been used for playing retro games on or watching streamed movies from a PC.
Just handy if you want to check it out further.

This one uses the parts from 2x mini quadcopters, my own firmware and some very bad foam.
Quadcopters are JJRC H67 'Santa Quad' types.
The end result has far too much power, but has been a blast to build and fly.
Here is the zip file containing the firmware. It's based on the popular quadcopter tuned settings called Silverware by Silverxx.
dropbox.com/s/qw1kbr5jpeicwys/Styles.zip
There are several different types of firmware in the zip file.
All are within the 'Styles' folder.
My idea being to defeat the gyro of the quadcopter receiver and enable flying styles similar to those of toygrade aircraft from 10 years ago. Differential thrust, actuators, ailerons, rudder, single motor etc.
It should be considered as Experimental and no warranty whatsoever is implied or granted if anyone uses it on their own builds. Pick a big field, out in the middle of nowhere for any test flights.
ESP32's are about the strongest performing WiFi microcontrollers of such a size and well suited for Internet Of Things projects.
The addition of a screen onboard really helps for configuring, diagnostics and other visual outputs.

The answer is surprisingly yes. Not only are they the right size and strength, they are cheaply available.
Such actuator systems are best used with planes weighing less than 1oz, or 28g. Effectiveness is perfectly fine !
I used to use crushed up bits of magnets from old hard drives, but now will use earbud magnets :)

The firmware used is a derivation of the Silverware quadcopter code.
It is being developed for rudder, elevator, ailerons and other 'classic' control systems. The quadcopter gyro is also disabled, to bring a truer control ability, reminiscent of the toygrade backyard flyers of a decade ago
The F-22 weighs 21.5g
Used to be sold by Interactive Toy Cencepts around 2008-10 and used to have a 27MHz FM receiver.
It now has a circuitboard from a JJRC H67 'Santa quad', with my modified Silverware code...to make it fly like the original system.
'Santa' quads cost about $20 and the conversion simply entails the flashing of the firmware, then connection of the airplane motors to the 2 rear motor positions on the circuitboard.
Motors can be mounted facing forwards or backwards.
2 motors and props from the quadcopter can be used, to power an aircraft weighing up to approx 2oz.
Link to Silverware for the JJRC H67/Boldclash B03/Pro and Eachine E011C. All use the same chips etc:

The receiving side is the same, except both the primary and secondary are wound in the opposite direction to the transmitter coils, as shown in the Patent.
The 2 turn primary isn't the output point, the top of the tower is instead, to an AV plug. A wire from the negative side of the AV plug goes to the 2 turn coil.
Original distances achieved were approx 6" at 5V, now it's 12" at 3V, same ~50mA current usage.
The whole thing about this circuit is the way that it likes to be grounded...handy for outdoors experiments.
Thanks to Edmorbus for spotting it.
With reference to recent discussions on especially Overunity.com
The coil is held together by securing each turn with a spot of superglue gel.
A better, easier coil to make would be from an old modem cable,, speaker wire or other larger gauge insulated wire. The Primary (L1) turns should be made with thicker gauge wire than the Secondary (L2) turns.
Sidenote - The still running 18650 based homemade salts cell can be seen in this video. Nearly 2 weeks so far, 24/7 :)
The pipe itself seems to nullify any feed in from the L3 coil.
Same situation with the Ground I wanted to use which is over the other side of the yard, much deeper.

My record is abysmal for outdoors, sound/music has always fared better than usable power.
Fingers crossed and good luck to Dr. Stiffer too.
