Better than Bose? Homemade ‘Hi-Def Speakers’ for Under a BuckYouTube sensation HouseholdHacker shows how to build a speaker with a paper plate, tin foil, a shiny penny and mini-jack; MythBusters checks it out.
Can you really make your own “hi-def” speaker for under a buck?
MythBusters challenges a popular YouTube video by “HouseholdHacker,” who shares his expertise with audiophiles facing economic hardships.
He demonstrates how a paper plate, some tin foil, a shiny penny and a mini-jack cable can produce sound that rivals some of the biggest names in loudspeakers.
YouTube fans voted the video as one of the top online myths they wanted to see busted, and the Discovery channel took the mission to heart on the hi-sci show MythBusters. (Spoiler alert: they busted the myth.)
Household Hacker shows us how to build an economical speaker:
-Wrap foil around a paper plate.
-Place a penny on the center of the plate. ("It is important to note that you use a shiny penny for this, as a corroded penny will increase electrical resistance which will result in poor sound.")
-Tape the exposed wiring on one end of a mini jack to the penny on the plate.

Haha...you've got to be an idiot to think that would work.
Look at their other videos - charging an iPod with an onion, powering a TV with an AAA battery, etc. People actually fall for that stuff?

You guys entirely missed the point. It's probably still better than Bose, even though it doesn't exist!
Compare it to Bose. This "speaker" has zero distortion and completely flat frequency response. Bose can't come anywhere near that!
|
I have ACTUALLY said this a thousand times: We can't help you much without the make and model of everything involved in the problem! Unless you want a vague answer. Or none. Your move. |
