cable

and say goodbye to cable bills forever Let's start with our project we are going to use two aluminum soda cans we are going to use a 3 mm diameter cable it can be aluminum or copper two recycled light bulbs See what I have here in my hands a cable to join coaxial cable to make the installation towards the antenna a connector I am going to use two 3/4 inch tbc plus two 3/4 inch PVC elbows and a piece of 3/4 PVC pipe inch in this project screws and some connectors I am going to show you how to make this antenna so that you can save money and stop using cable service if your financial resources are low so let's start quickly we will finish disassembling this other light bulb that we have here which had already burned and reads it does not work so as I told you here is to remove this entire part and leave it like this ok look how easy we clean this bulb here we are going to expand it a little you can use a drill or a screwdriver ok I think it is there good So now we have that part done we are going to take the two cans and we are going to make a hole in both Sorry, we are going to build a hole similar to this with the intention of crossing this 3mm cable through here So we are going to look for an auger Here I have the drill and I am going to complete the drilling Here I have to enlarge this hole because we are going to cross the cable through there Ok here we are just going to finish removing this part that is here very carefully like this Ok look and we can see that now we can place this part of the bulb this way here See how it looks Very good So it will be like this.

So, what should we do now before continuing? Look for a cable, as I explained, take out two wires and the idea is to make the connection at these points or jungle. Alright, I'm going to make two bars here, one here and one here. I'm going to use these three headed screwdrivers plus a screwdriver and I'm going to place it here we're going to place the next one we're not going to tighten it all the way we're just going to take it Ok so you can see by the drivers that we have here we're going to take points we're going to take advantage of the other one and we are going to sharpen the other one.

I have approximately two meters of electrical cable and I am going to coil it here and this one is going to connect to the mesh of our coaxial cable. We finish tightening. Ok look, we are going to place the other one that is also going to be join to the mesh I hope you follow the steps. a recycled antenna that we are going to make with homemade materials well now we must fix this part here for that we are going to make a small hole here on the side Although you could also glue it to the body with some adhesive that I could use hot silicone and join it here but I want it do with a screw so that it is well held, then I am going to make a small hole in the side and then I am going to cross a screw to hold it well in the body of the To do this I take the auger and here at this point I make my hole Ok, how can you see the material is very weak So we are going to apply it directly with hot silicone the test failed very well Look, the machine to apply the silicone just broke If anyone is motivated and wants to make a contribution to the Channel, they can do so through a super funny like this.

This donation would help us buy tools to bring this content closer to each of you. So this is useless, we will post it here. and we are going to have to do this part manually for this we are going to cross the cable through this section that you see here we are going to take it here we are going to place it here and then here we must glue it with silicone I am going to use another strategy ok I have a soldering iron tin and here I have the silicone component so I'm just going to heat it here and this way I'm going to make the joint well friend I applied silicone so that the pieces are already joined firmly as you can see we're going to continue continuing we're going to take the cable I am going to cut it in half because now we are going to work with the dipole inside, which is what will help us capture all the TV signals that are in our region and will make this antenna twice as powerful as a normal antenna for this We're going to strip a little here.

Okay. So let's look for the cable that I have here. This is a 3 millimeter diameter aluminum electrical cable for people who ask me for the measurements in inches. It could be an eighth of an inch and we're going to cut it to the distance of our soda can in this case this can has a distance of 6 and a quarter inches 16 centimeters so we must have an excess front of the same length of the can. Therefore I need to introduce the cable through the can and that it extends from the body outwards 6 and a quarter inches or 16 centimeters, for this I take the can, see where it ends here with that piece attached, so in order not to make a mistake I'm going to give it 8 inches and then I cut it and come back here, I hope it's left over. you can get Look at that Everything is left over we are going to cut it later and I can cut two equal pieces Ok one and we are going to cut the other one at a time Now here I have the other one on the other side and we are going to keep this part of the cable, we are going to straighten it because the element should be straight, you can use a copper tube Ok and we have straightened it as best as possible So what's next?

Now we must insert it. so that it appears here but if I remind you in a previous video that I made a model similar to this one, here I must place an insulator to prevent the rod from making contact with the can because this would damage our work and we would not be in use, we would not receive a signal in a few words so we are going to look for an element to place here Here I have RG 6 coaxial cable and I am going to cut a small section of the rubber and the intention is to take it out until I extract it Ok look how I took it out we are going to cut another piece of the same size Ok then we are going to introduce the rod first, look here and we are going to take it out here from the front, sometimes everything takes a little bit because you have to center it until you locate the center Ok and there I have it So look how it comes out here through the center and I take it here since it is It has a rubber and the insulation does not affect it. and here this part is also insulating, it is not in contact so look here at the front how it hits so I take the piece of rubber that I had removed and the intention is to cross it here this will guarantee that this part is at no time in contact with the can, this process must be repeated with this one, we already have the antenna dipoles installed, now we must connect the cables to the internal conductor so that this connection is correct.

Here I am going to use these splices that I improvised using a screw. Look, I'm going to insert it here and here I'm going to place the cable and when I automatically tighten the screw, everything will be very firm and secure to avoid false contact. I'm going to roll it back here and when I tighten the screw with the body, this is going to be very firm here. If you use a copper rod, you can do direct soldering. Look, then this gives a good connection here, I'm going to repeat it with the other cable and connector that I improvised and that I have here Ok Here it is very important that you observe this detail we have two cables of the same color. , we can't make a mistake when making the connection, look, I'm going to take any one, we're going to take this one and I'm going to remove it the end of this is connected to the rod in the center of the antenna.

I'll identify that same wire on the other side, take a look at it, and peel it off. deviates OK And what am I going to do? I'm going to take a first three-quarter inch PVC elbow and we're going to insert it through it like this Ok and we're going to take it here and it's going to stay here giving it a little twist. That way look how easy we should place a small tube here for this we have this tube here we are going to cut a small piece to make the connection continue making the connection I take this cutting tool I am going to cut this section of tube we are going to introduce we are going to place that way So we are going to take a first t and we are going to place it that way look then we continue crossing our cable we are going to get here here we are going to place it like this observe look over there There it is then we assemble that side we go to the sea the next side I'm going to show you a little trick that you can do This is a piece of rubber that I removed from the cable let's take this part we're going to cross it See if I insert it Here there is a good chance that this part will be loose Notice that it's going to go out so I'm going to take out the piece of rubber that I made this off camera testing it put it like this there it holds well and it should rotate Ok look at the rubber here where it is and see how firm it is so it prevents you from using any adhesive we are going to cut the other piece of tube to make the splice here here I must show you an interesting fact we are going to take the tape and we are going to separate from the center to the other center 20 centimeters 8 inches observe 8 inches So you placed it like this I measure 8 inches, there I have it.

I have 8 inches, that is, these two Rods are going to be separated by 8 inches or 20 centimeters and I take the tube, measure and cut that tube here that will give me that length or measurement, the measurement must be oscillating. between 15 or 20 centimeters correct so here I continue inserting well and now I have to remove this part now we are going to close everything Ok and there we have practically ready the antenna before we finish placing roots here we are going to make the splice so this joint is hidden in the tube and the antenna has a better view I mean the antenna looks very professional Ok then I'm going to cut a section of tube Also here to place this T well Now let's quickly look for a coaxial cable one end of this cable I have reused we are going to put a connector for power purposes take the antenna connection to the

televisi

on Ok and the one on the other side we are going to strip it to make this Splice here So I already have a mesh that I am reusing here I am going to cut and make the splice To make the job easier, first I will cross the coaxial cable like this, look, look how I passed it So now we are going to join it.

It reminds you of the bare cables, here I have them, I identify them, I can join them, here they are joined and that is joined with the central conductor, we must prevent them from bare wires are in contact with this part because this could also cause poor signal or the antenna not working. So the correct thing is always to clean the dielectric a little and remove part of this layer that it has here. I'll do it and I'll come back Observe the effect I told you Look how to remove it here So if I can calmly do the cable joint we're going to splice it if you want to solder you can do it too I'm going to do this manual splicing I'm going to bend that way to try to get away as much as possible and here I am going to wind this part here so we are going to put tape here here I have tape I am going to put tape here finally all that remains is to place the part of the mesh which are these two cables that I have here So this is connected to the coaxial cable mesh and insulate well, if you have not already done so, we invite you to subscribe to the jm current affairs channel so that you can receive these projects that we constantly develop here on the channel.

If you have any comments, you can do so. You can search and download these projects with their measurements and finally you will notice that everything is hidden. We are going to hide this cable so that this antenna can be seen well and place it like this. Very good friend. Look in this way at the developed shape of this powerful antenna that you will have. I help you watch free television in your country reminds you of the final measurements we are going to measure we have 20 centimeters long here it could be this distance that we have here we are going to try to improvise because it is good to improvise sometimes with this measurement of 20 centimeters or 8 inches long cable that we have, I am going to calculate that distance here with the program to see what frequency this antenna is operating on, however I am going to do the test.

If it doesn't work, I am going to cut it to 16 centimeters, which is the ideal distance to operate on the frequency. of 470 megahertz but I want to do a test like this on this antenna with the calculations I made when I ran it, the program presented a gain of 7 dbi at a distance. A theoretical calculation in practice should work at least 6 in dvi, it gains a good width of band so let's not go with the test of this antenna Very good friend observe I have no signal on my television everything is disconnected look There is no signal on the television what to do now install the antenna let's make the connection visible Let's put on a digital channel Ok there we have it a digital channel let's look back here look there is no connection on the other hand I have the antenna here in my hands disconnected Let's go over here to the window look where I have the rod disassembled look here here they come Union and here I have my coaxial cable that comes from the roof Now I'm going to connect it and nothing, I don't have a signal because I don't have an antenna installed, look, there's no service, we're going to install this antenna and when we go down we'll find the available signal.

Ok, we've installed the antenna, that's easy jungle, here we splice the coaxial cable. Here I have my rod, let's go up to 6 meters Let's go down to see the results Ok we come back everything is as we left it except that we already have a signal on our television or jungle there we have the connected cable that comes from the ceiling here we have the coaxial cable that comes from the window Sorry for the leaks Here it is everything installed as we left it And we have a signal on our television Let's look at the channels excellent excellent of course what do you think of this antenna dear friend we invite you to build it I am going to design this antenna I am going to take it to the page jm actualities.com tothat you take the measures What do you think if you have not done so yet so we invite you to subscribe to jm news Remember that this antenna can be oriented by searching for the nearest repeater you can even use it inside your house look at that channel we are going to do a test by moving look at the tube I always make one here Look at the tube, where is it?

Excuse me, the camera was so fast. Look, let's move a little. Look, look, that's pointing the antenna to where the nearest repeater is. make a very good antenna that works so you don't waste time doing things that don't work and what's on the networks. another better channel there we have another channel and we are going to disconnect everything from here and I am going to leave the camera fixed there and so that you can see my hand here I have my connector and the signal is lost it will be until a new video thank you very much
