Live AC Wire or Neutral House Wiring Antenna


Back to homepage
Live wire antenna
or how to use live or neutral wire in your home as receiving antenna for long wave, medium wave, or short wave


Warning

Warning: use of this antenna is not recommended if you do not use fuse, separate antenna coil and high voltage capacitors to connect to high voltage live wire. You risk death otherwise. Be careful and use all safety precautions. Always assume that neutral wire might be live as well, if improperly wired. Even if properly wired, it can become live due to a fault.


Live wire / neutral wire antenna

I was looking through some old radio books - mostly tube designs - when it was mentioned that it's possible to use live or neutral wire in AC household wiring as receiving antenna. Of course, this is possible only with high voltage capacitor inserted between the receiver antenna terminal and live or neutral wire. AC wiring antenna solution was mentioned as some type of last resort, when no other antenna can be installed due to space constraints. Ground conductor can be used as Earth ground.

Old books recommend cold water pipe as ground connection, but I'm not sure whether this is good/practical/allowed any more. They also recommend "one good condenser" for antenna connection, not 2 in series. I guess people were braver then :)


Receiver circuit and antenna connection

I decided to test this system myself. I made a small 2-transistor medium-wave AM receiver, with headphone output. To reduce main tank circuit loading, HF is taken from a capacitive divider of variable cap and 5 nF cap. Smaller voltage drop exists on larger capacitor due to its smaller capacitive reactance Xc=1/(2*pi*f*C). Received high frequency is demodulated at the base of first transistor and then amplified as low frequency in the first and second transistor stage. Calculated frequency range: approximately 700 kHz - 2800 kHz.

To protect myself and my receiver, I decided to use two high voltage capacitors in series, antenna coil galvanically separated from remainder of circuit, and fuse. If high voltage spike is somehow able to penetrate through both 1 kV rated capacitors, it will blow open the fuse. Failing that, antenna coil (0.3 mm diameter wire, 20 turns) will burn out, with no further damage done to receiver (or user). Hopefully. :)

Testing

Several tests were done: first with 1 m wire antenna, without ground connection. Four nearby AM stations were received, 3 were identified for testing. Latter tests were done with live wire antenna, neutral wire antenna, and power cable antenna NOT plugged into the outlet.

Testing video with live wire as antenna. Antenna is plugged into the AC outlet during the video. This changes main receiver LC circuit frequency somewhat, so re-tuning is necessary for maximum sound output. Sound is weak because it is coming from the headphones only, so weaker stations cannot be heard in the video.

Back in the 1970's AM-FM Stereos came with a little T-Antenna. Made out of flat TV Antenna Wire. It was the Standard Antenna wiring at the time. This was before RF Cable came into wide spread use for TV Antenna wiring. Since the Flat TV Antenna wiring was not shielded. It made a pretty good little Antenna for Radios. I suppose that the T-Design was supposed to improve reception. But, I discovered that a longer piece of flat antenna wire, actually worked better. I also discovered that pretty much any type of un-shielded wire could be used for a Radio Antenna. I think that single strand copper wire works better than multi-strand wire. But, I usually just try what ever type of wire that I have available, when the need arises for better Radio Reception. The old Copper Single Stranded Telephone wire works pretty well for this purpose. I have tried different Configurations. Straight, Looped and T's. But, the thing, that makes the biggest difference, is, putting your Wire Antenna near or in a Window. I also had an actual FM Radio Antenna, back in 1976. I had moved to Wichita Falls, TX and they had No Rock n Roll Station there!:( I grew up in Azle TX, near Fort Worth and my favorite Radio Station was KZEW, "The Zew" (Zoo). An "Album Rock" Station. They played the whole songs, not the shortened "Radio Cuts". And I liked Q102 as well. It cam out just before The Zew wen out of business. I could not get any of the Dallas Rock Stations on my Home Stereo. But, sometimes I could get them on my Car Radio. Depending on where in the City that I was. It was staticky and the signal faded in and out. So, I figured there was a chance, with a better antenna. So, I bought a 10 to 15ft (don't remember the exact size now) FM Antenna at Radio Shack. It worked great!:) I was able to listen to my favorite Radio Stations on my Home Stereo!:) The signal dis degrade with Weather Changes, such as certain types of Clouds. Sometimes, the Clouds would cause other even more distant Stations to come in too. I kept that Antenna for at least 15 years. I used it as a TV Antenna, wen I moved back to Azle, a few years later. It wasn't as good for TV reception. You had to choose, to either aim it for the best VHF or UHF reception. So, I mounted it on a pole, close to a Window and would just reach out and turn it when I wanted to get a better Signal on a Certain Channel. I never did get one of those Electric Remote Antenna Turners, like I planned...

Programming an Arduino using an audio file and Audio Bootloader

A proof of concept that uses an Arduino to read a Korg monotribe firmware file in m4a audio format.

Introduction

TribeDuino is a proof of concept that uses an Arduino to read a Korg Monotribe audio-encoded firmware file. It doesn't do anything with the data except calculate a checksum to prove that it read it correctly. The program works by connecting an Arduino to an MP3 player of some kind via an audio patch cable, and then playing the firmware audio file so that the Arduino can hear it.

UPDATE: Want to program Arduinos with sound? See Audioino!

Background

The firmware uses frequency-shift keying, or FSK, to encode its data. In FSK, you pick a point on a sine wave (like the peak), and measure how much time elapses between peaks. Over time, variations in the peak-to-peak period represent data. The Korg firmware uses binary FSK, which means that there are only two possible period lengths. A short period is a binary one, and a long period is a binary zero.

There is a 342-short-bit gap between packets that would seem pointless for a PC that's decoding the sound file offline. But for an Arduino or Monotribe that is reading the audio stream real-time, it's a much-needed 75-millisecond break during which the device can do something interesting with the packet it just decoded, such as writing it to flash memory, without falling behind for the next packet.

The effective bitrate is very close to 2400 baud (calculated using a 33,024-byte final firmware file, 8 bits per byte, and an audio runtime of about 1:50). That figure is not entirely comparable to a real 2400-baud modem for various reasons.

Audio Bootloader

by chris on Sat Sep 03, 2011 5:17 pm

Audio Bootloader for Atmega Microcontrollers

It is possible to load a program into an AVR-microcontroller over the audio interface of a PC or laptop:
http://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/SOUNDRX

The bootloader presented here has the following features:

- automatic Baudrate detection and calibration
- works without calibration with 8Mhz or 16MHz sysclk ( possibly 1MHz, not tested )
- very simply hardware circuit: 2 resistors and a 100nF capacitor to connect to the audio line
- only one pin for data transmission needed and an additional pin for a status led
- low memory footprint: 800 bytes
- java program to generate the sound, works on win and Linux

As line coding scheme Manchester-coding is used. With this type of coding we achieve only half the transmission speed than with "Flankenkodierung" used in Soundrxtx. Therefore the mean value of the signal is more stable and no calibration potientiometer is needed.

have fun,
chris

WiFi Protected Setup Flaw Can Lead to Compromise of Router PINs | threatpost

December 27, 2011, 11:59AM

WiFi Protected Setup Flaw Can Lead to Compromise of Router PINs

The US-CERT is warning about a vulnerability in the WiFi Protected Setup standard that reduces the number of attempts it would take an attacker to brute-force the PIN for a wireless router's setup process. The flaw results in too much information about the PIN being returned to an attacker and makes the PIN quite weak, affecting the security of millions of WiFi routers and access points.

WPS is a method for setting up a new wireless router for a home network and it includes a way for users to set up the network via an external or internal registrar. In this method, the standard requires a PIN to be used during the setup phase. The PIN often is printed somewhere on the wireless router or access point. The vulnerability discovered in WPS makes that PIN highly susceptible to brute force attempts.

"When the PIN authentication fails the access point will send an EAP-NACK message back to the client. The EAP-NACK messages are sent in a way that an attacker is able to determine if the first half of the PIN is correct. Also, the last digit of the PIN is known because it is a checksum for the PIN. This design greatly reduces the number of attempts needed to brute force the PIN. The number of attempts goes from 108 to 104 + 103 which is 11,000 attempts in total," the US-CERT advisory says.

http://www.solartechtown.com

I, Robert Smith, show you every step I take to building a custom made solar panel from scratch. I explain in detail about each item I use and why to use it, so the video is fairly long.

I will be hosting the majority of the video on my own server so you can view it all in one take. It will take time to edit the video, but the more of you that subscribe to the video, the faster I'll try to get it out to you guys as it just shows that people are interested and appreciate what I'm doing, as I'm providing this video for free unlike some videos you see on YouTube.

The method I described in this video is just one way to go about it, however, there are many ways you can build a custom solar panel. Some use aluminum or plastic frames, but I found for a beginner, working with wood would probably be easier and cheaper.

Overall, building a solar panel can be fun, but there are many factors that play into building a solar panel, and I as well still have an extreme amount to still learn about it.

So I hope that for those wanting to learn more about solar energy and wanting to take the adventure of building their own solar panel will find this video very useful.

To watch to full video just video, just visit: http://www.solartechtown.com

Again the video is fairly large, so to prevent from having to put 6 or 7 parts on youtube in 10 minute sections, I'm just going to host in on my server.

If you all have ANY questions, feel free to leave a comment under the video.

Thanks guys!

Looks great from the Start!:) I will watch the whole Series soon... And yes, I have noticed the same problem with finding complete info on Building Solar Panels. Most of the Videos I find, just end up being Sales Pitches for some Company or individual Selling their "Best Method" for building Solar Panels. The thing, that I am interested in is, how to build the actual Solar Cells... I'm sure that there have been some advances since 2009. But then again, most really new Tech is also more expensive. So, I think, after seeing your How To Build A Solar Charged RC Electric Lawn Mower - Intro - YouTube. That this Series is definitely worth watching. So, thanks in advance Robert, for putting all of this work and effort together!:)

C/2011 W3 (Lovejoy) is a periodic comet, classified as a Kreutz Sungrazer. It was discovered on 27 November 2011, by amateur astronomer Terry Lovejoy.[2] The comet's perihelion took it through the Sun's corona on 16 December 2011 at 00:35 UTC,[1] as it passed approximately 140,000 kilometres (87,000 mi) above the Sun's surface.[3] It was not expected to survive the encounter, but the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), as well as other Sun-monitoring spacecraft, observed the comet emerge from the corona intact.[4][5][6]
Before perihelion, the comet nucleus of Lovejoy was estimated to be between 100 and 200 metres (330 and 660 ft) in diameter, but after surviving perihelion it has been estimated that the nucleus was larger, as much as 500 m (1,600 ft) before the passage through the corona.[6] At its brightest the comet had an apparent magnitude of around –4[7] (about as bright as the planet Venus). It is the brightest sungrazing comet ever observed by SOHO,[8] and is the brightest comet to appear since Comet McNaught of 2007, which shone at visual magnitude –5.5.[9] However, Lovejoy was largely invisible to the naked eye during its peak brightness as a result of its small nucleus and proximity to the Sun.
The comet first became visible to the STEREO-A spacecraft on 3 December, and to the SOHO spacecraft on 14 December. Before and after Lovejoy passed through perihelion, it was the subject of observation campaigns by eighteen instruments on six satellites: STEREO-A and -B, SOHO, SDO, Hinode and PROBA2.[7][10] It again became visible to ground based telescopes on 17 December.[11] In the Southern Hemisphere, Lovejoy was a naked eye object around 21 December.[12]
