To everyone picking up TV station by shoving a wire coat hanger into your antenna port, there's a difference between analog and digital signals. Yes, you can get more channels, if the TV is lucky enough to catch the signal while it's scanning. With analog, you're adjusting the antenna so that it gets positioned into the perfect spot to get a signal with the least amount of static. However, with digital, because it works in 0s and 1s, either you get a signal or you don't. There's no adjusting the antenna to get the least amount of static. This means that digital antennas have to be more stable than just sticking a wire into an antenna port.
Theres no such thing as a digital antenna, antennas are pieces of metals in ways that pick up frequencies, typically UHF ( smaller antennas ) and VHF ( bigger antennas ) but yes you are correct about the analog part but analog TV signals were basically killed off in 2009
The antenna's job is to resonate at a particular frequency, it neither knows nor cares how the signal is modulated. So there is no meaningful distinction between a "digital" and "analogue" antenna. All signals are analogue BTW. Anything above a certain voltage is considered a logic '1', anything below a certain voltage is a '0', or sometimes the other way round. Signals in the in-between range are the problem, if the voltage is in between the highest and lowest values, Is it '1' or '0'? So as you've noticed, a digital signal is either there or it isn't, and the transition range between "good" and "nothing" is quite narrow. The signal doesn't degrade smoothly like an analogue signal does. Before you had some noise which manifested as "snow" but still a usable picture. Now it's all or nothing. The digital signal is very intolerant of low signal/noise ratio so TV stations had to increase effective radiated power to reliably get the same range they had before.
@@TypicalBlox You are almost entirely correct. True, the antenna neither knows nor cares how the signal is modulated, its job is to resonate within some range of frequencies. However it's not COMPLETELY true there is no such thing as "digital antenna". After the 2009 DTV transition, US television channels 51-69 were basically vacated and the spectrum reassigned to first responders and mobile phone companies. So the antenna no longer needed to cover those frequencies, and thus could be more narrowly tuned. Whether this actually gets you any significant gain on the remaining channels is doubtful, so don't replace that old antenna you put up 20=30 years ago, before satellite and cable, it will work just as well.
The most useful thing about the little space heater is that it lets you rotate the plug so it can match all outlet orientations. I wish that feature was on more devices.
I have one and can confirm, you can either make it narrower for reaching longer distances or wider if you need. The only reason I see for buying that one is the water power thing, but for something that isn't reliable, I'd rather stick with my other cheap solar powered one, at least it won't break after a few uses
For anyone curious, the hydralight is powered similar to the "lemon battery experiment". Zinc and Copper, connected with a "salt bridge"(any electrolytic solution, such as water, vingear, gatorade) will produce a charge, although very weak, under 1v. ------- However, with a "Joule thief" circuit, we can take more volts from the chemical reaction, at the tradeoff that the cell will be used up faster.

Nope. I bought the Handy-Heater myself for my mom’s bathroom. We had it there several hours and it wasn’t able to raise the temperature of a 7 squaremeter bathroom significantly. Plus it makes a lot of noise when running on high capacity. Very clever to place the thermometer right above the heater btw.
The handy heater was also tested on TV in my country it could barely heat the room and it sucks the electricity like hell then they wrote them confronted them with the test. after that they wrote back and said it is only for heating parts of a room (not like advertised)
The Handy Heater will probably cost you more than it saves. Just heating one room in your house is very energy inefficient when the walls between the rooms are not insulated. In most of the houses, internal rooms are not insulated. Meaning that a lot of heat will quickly be lost. Instead, you are probably better off heating the entire house.
Here are alternate ways of saving money with what is shown. This list is in order of appearance. -TV without using a cable service: Any TV antenna will do, or you could make your own antenna as shown in 1:00-1:42 -Portable light source: If it uses removable batteries, get rechargeable batteries and a charger that can charge them or go with flashlights that are powered by a lithium-ion battery. -Vacuum sealed bag: Use a tub of water as shown in 7:25-7:56. -Something that heats only the room you want heated: Any space heater will do. Notice: I am not trying to shoot down the point of this video. I posted this to show that you can use a different method to reach the same goal (at least when it comes to saving money). Edit: I must say, one that plugs right up to the wall outlet without a cable like the one shown in 8:08-10:31 is a very portable space heater. I am impressed that something can be miniaturized like that.
What. The. Fuck. A battery that is powered by water!? How!? Just thinking of all the possible applications makes my head hurt. How is this not more widespread? I want to learn moreeeeee
I'll save you alot of headache and just let you know that it doesn't have enough power to do much more than a flashlight, and doesn't last long enough to be used for anything else. Imagine a phone that has a battery only good for 2.5 weeks. It's not a miracle battery.
most old car battery have a water and an unkown content in it stealing the oxagin in water you can make them realy smol and olny have to fill them up very 5 to 6 years why we never use em anymore well ricein and solfer hxaclorid are not safe for humans
Actually the LED mag-light has an adjustable beam, and that particular mag (takes 3 D cells) is extremely bright, with fresh batteries, you can spot light something from 3 blocks away.
I got an idea for a product. Why not do something similar to your cheap idea for vacuum bags, but to allow it to be safe for meats too, just do a vacuum machine with a small, straw-like, rod inside, and do the same process. But not worry about slurping it yourself to get either A: the food contaminated and B: you don't take in raw meat or fish accidentally.
Slurping up raw meat?... Ha sounds like my wife's Friday night... To bad she's always hanging out with that damn neighbor every weekend. In his defense he is always in such a great mood Saturday mornings...
I thought the HydraLight looked so cool I paused the video and looked it up on Amazon. Save your money. Apparently it only charges a few times, then you need to buy a new fuel cell ($15). Several reviewers said this. One said it oozed white liquid. And I didn't even keep digging - those were all from recent reviews on top. :(
The one advantage is has is a very long shelf life. One of those hydolight flashlights will work reliably after 10 or even 20 years in storage. Until you add the water the electrolyte is chemically unreactive. If you stored a regular flashlight that long, the batteries would be dead, assuming they didn't corrode to mush.
4:10 Wait, you’re saying that I can rub and tug my “lamp” and charge my flashlight at the same time while looking at someone who is flashing people on a website specifically tailored for people to do that! Awesome!
Seems to come as a great shock to anyone under the age of 30. Yes over-the-air TV broadcasting is a thing, and has been since the 1950s. You don't pay to receive TV signals in the US. The UK does impose an annual TV licencing fee per household, I think its currently about £159/year.
I'm guessing the 'fuel cell' of the hydralight is a normal chemical battery and water simply wets the electrolyte. Better get lantern with rechargeable batteries.
I remember one of my old customers when I used to work for Comcast connected one end of the coax into his TV and the other end he stripped it to the Copper core and left about 2 feet off. got 55ish channels. pretty smart
Sticking the thermometer over the heater would be the worst way to do a comparison if you're trying to figure out if there's an actual increase in room temperature.

You can actually focus the maglight by twisting the larger end left or right. You can completely close out that dark center.
