Residents of cities and towns located near television transmitting stations do not need to install antennas with signal amplifiers. For them, purchasing such equipment is not practical. It is enough to assemble a simple antenna from an aluminum can of energy drink, beer or soda, and connect it to the TV to get a clear picture.
Materials:
- aluminum can;
- thin plywood;
- coaxial cable;
- TV plug.
The process of making an antenna from an aluminum can
The top and bottom of the jar are cut off, then the remaining tube is unraveled lengthwise.
The resulting sheet is folded in half and cut into 2 halves.
The workpieces are marked diagonally in the form of a crosshair with one side branch. Then 2 antenna parts are cut out from it.
A piece of coaxial cable is connected to the TV plug.
Next you need to fix the antenna blanks on the plane. A piece of plywood is perfect for this, since they can simply be nailed to it with a stapler.
The free end of the cable is attached between the antenna elements.Its central core should be connected to one part of the antenna, and the winding to the other. You don't even have to solder anything. It is enough to nail the cores tightly to the metal with a stapler. Such a simple antenna, assembled in 10 minutes, will work no worse than a store-bought one.
