AM Radio That Works!

I'm stoked to introduce my brand-new, 3D printed AM radio! I drew inspiration from the DIY crystal and foxhole radios of the early 1900s, but I designed it with simplicity in mind. To make this amazing device's inner workings more accessible, I created a few animations that break down its functionality using minimal parts. The video will walk you through the assembly process, so I hope you enjoy it! You can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGhe3OrNIlI Here are the materials you'll need: 1. A Piezo Earphone 2. 24 AWG Magnet Wire (also known as Enamel Wire) 3. 1 N34A Germanium Diode 4. A small piece of aluminum foil 5. A paper clip 6. Hildie & Jo's 45 Cord Ends (three small, 5x10mm springs) You can easily find these materials online. The springs I used are available at Joann Fabrics; try searching for "Silver Cord End Springs." Any similar 5mm diameter springs should work just fine.
