This
experiment uses an antique broad-band radio transmitter with a copper antenna
and a recieving copper antenna with a light bulb attached. The transmitted
EM waves are polarized and provide enough power to the recieving antenna
to light up the light bulb. If the recieving antenna is twisted off axis
then the bulb will not light up. This device operates as a very basic RLC
circuit that contains a mica capacitor underneath and power amplifying
tubes. It's frequency is quite broad-band but centers around ~80 and 160MHz
with 160 having the highest output. WUFT Channel 5's return monitoring
signal was often interfered with by this device.
