Signal build
Start with the video, then use the science notes and recommended parts below to follow the idea behind the build.
How it works
An AM radio is a filter for the electromagnetic clutter around us. The antenna hears lots of stations at once, but the tuned part of the radio prefers one frequency and ignores most of the rest.
The 3D-printed body makes the build tangible, but the science is resonance and detection. Tune the resonator to the station, then recover the audio by following the changing amplitude of the radio wave.
