This is what a Spark Gap transmitter looked
like in the 1920's! Thanks to Jim Sargent for the wonderful live presentation. |
 |
You can see the spark gap at the front right
side and the rotating spark gap at the front in the center. |
 |
For every transmitter there needs to be a receiver! This is a 1 tube receiver. |

The sparks are flying using the rotating spark gap |

Here the sparks are flying on the fixed gap.
Just a reminder: the key is very hot, about 15kV if you touch any metal part... Not a good thing to do! |
