Materials and tools

We will deal with the materials and tools that will be involved in the process under consideration:

• A couple of cans from under beer (it is clear that they should be clean, empty and dry)
• Isolating tape or scotch (in this case, two-sided adhesive tape can also be used)
• Self-screw screws (a few pieces will be enough)
• Cable (here will need an antenna wire)
• Plug (mandatory tool in this case)
• Screwdriver (what is there at hand)

Step-by-step manual manufacturers of homemade antenna

The process in question is very simple, so there will be no problems with him for sure, even if you have never kept a screwdriver in your hands, so it's not even worth worrying about this. Detailed instructions:

• We take the usual tree stick (other material for the stick is better not to use). Now we take a couple of cans from under beer. Earlier it was said that they should be empty, clean and dry. After all, this is the future of our antenna.
• Attach these banks is necessary consistent, one after another. You can do this as an ordinary scotch and an isolated ribbon. It is not worth a lot of soaring such a material, the main thing is that this design is durable and does not fall apart in your hands.

• Now neatly need to screw the screws into the banks.
• The next step is to clean the antenna type cable and fasten its ends to the screws twisted earlier. It is worth noting that one of the ends of the cable is checked on the spiral on the "trunk" of the screws.
• Now it is necessary to wind the cable in an isolated ribbon and must be closed to a stick. It is necessary to do this, so that the whole design is really durable.
• Among other things, you can also use a hanger as the rod of our homemade antennas, it is convenient to hang on the window and other protruding pieces of furniture in the room.

Important moments

There are several recommendations and tips that need to adhere to the homemade antenna as efficient as possible:

• There is no certain and accurate distance between the banks on the antenna. It is necessary to carry out, so to speak, experiments. Only in practice can be determined which distance between banks is the most efficient. The optimal distance is 70 mm.
• When you empty the banks, they do not have to tear the rings from them, because they are very convenient to produce the cable.
• If you decide to establish an antenna amplifier outside, then you need to take into account that various climatic factors will constantly influence it, which means that the ideal option becomes - put it in a bottle of plastic, so that it is high enough. Before that, it will be necessary to save a bottle from the neck and the bottom to be a kind of cylindrical protection for our antenna.
• In order for the tailored cable in the harden, the cable fixed very tightly - it is necessary to pour boiling water into this place, then the plastic change the shape and takes the hole itself.

In fact, in the manufacture of the design under consideration, it is not necessary to accurately follow all the rules described above. Here we are talking about the fact that every inventor can independently come up with exactly how he will arrange banks, how many will they be, on what they will hold on and how to mount the cable to them.

Some manage to do designs from not one dozen of such tin cans, so from far this design looks sufficiently impressive, in general, everything will depend on the number of cans from under beer, your imagination and desire to make an image on your TV screen perfect.
