About

An addiction to science, electronics, making stuff, understanding how things work, and passing it all on to you... My name is Steve and I'm a lifelong maker and amateur scientist and see no end in sight. Videos are currently being made only every few months as time permits. My preference for questions is in the comments to the relevant video. And for anyone who's wondering, the name is meant to refer to our star, which is not on the rim of our galaxy but it's fun to pretend it is. By naming it this way I'm basically saying that any subject matter under the sun (or galaxy!) is fair game for this channel and its companion website, https://rimstar.org.

How to make an AM radio transmitter for use with a crystal radio or a normal AM radio. This simple circuit uses an oscillator chip and a transformer to take input from a sound source and turn it into radio waves, transmitted using an antenna. I test it with a CD player as the sound source but it may also work with an iPod or iPhone, though it may need some amplification for that. WARNING: Do not transmit more than 1 or 2 meters/yards otherwise you'll interfere with other radios. In many countries it is illegal to transmit without a license.
