The World Needs This Simple Invention

  1. Prepare the Cans
    • Clean and dry the cans thoroughly.
    • Punch two small holes in the bottom of each can (about 1 inch apart).
  2. Insert the Wire
    • Strip 1 inch of insulation from both ends of the copper wire.
    • Thread the wire through the holes in the cans.
    • Twist the exposed wire ends to secure the cans in place.
  3. Attach the Coaxial Cable
    • Separate the coaxial cable’s outer shielding to expose the inner conductor.
    • Wrap one end of the conductor around the wire between the cans.
    • Secure the shielding to one of the cans using a screw or tape.
  4. Mount the Antenna
    • Attach the cans to a wooden rod or hanger for stability.
    • Place near a window or high shelf for optimal signal.
  5. Tune Your TV
    • Connect the coaxial cable to your TV’s antenna port.
    • Use the “Channel Scan” feature to find free local broadcasts.
