In this video I will demonstrate how a RF FM transmitter works and how this principle compares to the older AM. I will also show you how to build a simple and crude FM receiver which can even sometimes let you listen to your favorite radio stations.

People are always impressed when i tell them i can build a computer, but i think it is much more impressive to be able to build a radio.
+About 47 T-Rexes Depends on which parts you use for that computer. If you only use 74xxxx logic and passive components it's not that easy.
Radios are really much harder.
Yes but making it from basic logic gates is much harder.
But digital electronics alone are not that hard, only diffrence from computer is fact that computer is programable, you need to ask yourself you really need you electronics programable
Depends on what you refer as building a computer (logic gates or just pc components)
After the apocalypse, you're going to want this guy in your faction.
no you would want the guy from the channel "primitive technology" on your side
Id want both and the guys from top gear too just cause.
old or new? because both sets of guys seem quite useless to me tbh :P the old top gear guys are entertaining though, that's worth something
When the electricity stops...this guy will be no match for the high school dropouts.
Don’t forget about the hacksmith
About 6 or 7 years ago when I was in my late teens I was doing some soldering in an electric guitar while it was plugged into an amp. When I touched one of the pots with the soldering iron I got an AM station coming clear as a bell through the amp. I've been fascinated by radio ever since.
Good for you :)
We all remember the first time the radio bug bites us haha
There used to be an electrical axis box in the housing estate I grew up in that played the local radio station when ever you would lean you bike against it. Crazy 📻😲
For me it was uhf on an old TV if you tune to the Forest freq you could pick up cordless phones and baby monitors
Litterally same here. Got an Amp and was fucking around and kept hearing radio chatter. shit was wild

1 khz sine wave is my jam. My dad is always telling me to 'turn that noise down' and 'thats not music'. Ok, boomer.
@@rich1051414 only a boomer would say that.
@@flexairz Delete facebook, it rots your brain. Also, grow a sense of humor.
Haha I swear you must be spying on my brain - I've been working on an FM tutorial for a while. Great video!
+Afrotechmods There is always space for two tutorials about the same subject. Looking forward to your video.
+Afrotechmods you guys are both awesome !
This comes from my heart.
I really appreciate your approaches ... I follow you both since some time and see how you grew with your projects, not just content-wise, but also in your videomaking and everything which is attached to the open-source youtubedriven diy education we're all witnessing at this time and age.
Good works and thank you !
2 legends in 1 comment . both of you guys are awesome
@@greatscottlab I agree, but some people are stubborn and think they are the centre of the universe so yeah
IT'S A SHAME THAT WE COULDN'T SEE A STEP BY STEP VIDEO ON HOW TO BUILD THIS FM RADIO
my favorite tune is "60hz 110v through human body"
+~☆ XzCraftP ☺♂ my favourite is 380v 50Hz 3-phase through the skin
+Bad Zombie well there's that.
+Bad Zombie Isn't that the best way to learn how to break dance?
I especially like the lyrics: "AAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
+~☆ XzCraftP ☺♂ I like that genre very much. It's like a mix of electronic and death metal
these videos are a lot of fun both for me and also for teaching my little nephew more about electronics and circuits and being able to talk to him over the phone while we both watch the same video and I get to show him the things my dad taught me at his age line building little am radios and transmitters and soldering and solar panels and simple circuits and now it's even super easy to build fm radios. I love helping him grow up learning to have FUN learning and tinkering and building electronics in functional applications.
You pronunciation has clearly gotten better over the years. I love your content.
Thankyou very much for the video, I've always wanted to know how to make one, and you're a great teacher. Although most people don't know what you're talking about, it's not because you're a bad teacher, it's because some people don't understand the basics yet, but one day they will and realize how useful your videos are. Thankyou again :)
Using bolts to make coils is also a good option. Just wrap the wire around the threads.
Great video, as always!
I can't figure out what the coils do.
The way this video highlights the innovative features of this device is truly impressive.❤
Woah I just realized you are almost at 150k subscribers! Congratulations, man!
+mxims97 Thanks mate ;-)
Indeed Greatscott! ,I was confused of all articles and tutorials around but your video really helped me alot to understand the concept.Thank u man
So, your Channel is trending again! All hail to the algorithm!
Impressive. In the calculation of inductance the winding number N should be squared, so according to the formula your inductance is around 0.6 uH instead of 0.15 uH. However, that formula applies for long coils, and yours cannot be considered as long, so your correct inductance is probably less than 0.6 uH (maybe closer to 0.15 uH, but that is a coincidence).
Just studied modulation for my semester paper. And this video gave a pretty good knowledge about the practical use. Thanks Scott! 😊
Very cool, This took me way back to the 70's when I used to build regenerative receivers to listen to ATC communications. They were actually very sensitive, could listen to airplanes tens of km away, but not too selective - adjacent frequencies were all heard at the same time. Next I started modifying comercial, cheap FM receivers to listen to ATC and *that* worked really well. They were very sensitive *and* selective, I'd redo the markings on the dial from 118MHz to 130 MHz, and when set to one ATC frequency I'd hear only that one, not nearby channels like the regenerative receiver. I even modified a few receivers for friends. Great days long gone.
Your channel is good. It gives me a lot of practical information. I can see the components and devices actually.
i don't make the projects you make of even try them. I just like to watch them as they are so educational.
Dude this is awesome. I would have given my left nut to have lessons like these and others now available when I was 12. I built an fm transmitter with a store bought kit And a receiver and all kinds of stuff.
I wish we had teachers like you!! :( awesome videos!
Hey GreatScott, let me ask you something. When you make your own circuit for some project like you do in most of your videos, do you do all the maths and calculus to know how much current and voltage is passing by every resistor or transistor? Because If you do, it would be very nice to show us that it's important to calculate everything.
ONCE AGAIN PROVED YOU ARE A AWESOME MAN...............................I CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW YOUR VIDEOS INSPIRING PEOPLE, IT IS WONDERFUL .THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH GREAT SCOTT.
Another super video,another nice project I may have to attempt to build,your costing me a fortune in electronics Scott 😉
+Robert Thomas Sorry about that ;-)
Your circuit for the tuner has been around for a while. It may confuse people how it works and seems to be shorted out, but it basically turns two transistors into a "tunnel diode". The tuning is done by "Slope Tuning" which is really AM detecting, so will pick up noise as well. Tunnel Diodes are very expensive, so this circuit is great to play with to see how it works.
You should make an LED frequency equaliser that changes with sound, your videos are so cool!
Good build - and I like your old school stereo! Thanks for sharing.
I haven't seen a radio that big since the 80s. I like it.
Hi GreatScott, thanks for all good stuff, I have learned so much from your videos. Please make tutorial on how to build Tesla coil, something simple that will work with battery power. Best of luck...
You can also use a hot blob of solder to strip enameled wire and wick it away after usually you can do it cleanly with any decent iron like the 888.
I presume that this is a super regen receiver . I remember from my youth that a regen receiver could do both FM and AM and was a favorite in the early remote control receivers (manchester code types ) Lots of fun and thanks .
I have no idea what you did here but it was cool. God bless legal cannabis. Cheers from Detroit.
the variable capacitor is not common in many electronic shop,it's also has a low range,so we should add the rheostat to improve the band.
Thanks for having shown the transmitter itself and where to buy it! I just had my exams on Schwingkreise and I always wanted to build something like that, but making an oscillator myself is the thing I didn't understand very well yet, I will study this circuit and try to understand it better, because even on google I couldn't find practical explanations of oscillator circuits
Nice video btw as always ;)
Great Video Dude. Very Cool Project. Keep up the great work. Nick.
I've rewatched this video many times while trying to create my own radio and have found it very helpful :). One error I found is that when inductance is calculated at @ 3:57 the formula shown should be N^2*mu_0*mu_r*A/l. The video has plain N instead of N^2. Nonetheless the calculated inductance of 1.478*10^-7 H is the correct value so the formula was only written wrong in the video, and as far as I can tell the rest of the calculations afterwards are okay.
Overall I loved seeing the process, thanks for the video!
Hi! it would be really cool if you could make a video about how exactly an FM receiver works? Like what happens so that a faster or slower carrier frequency results in an audio signal
Thanks!
wow I understand how this works now, I didn't quite get it before when I made an FM radio receiver but since I started playing around with astable multivibrator circuits that are linked to a buzzer I understand now how you can alter the frequency of an oscillator in various ways.
*probes an FM trasmitter with a multimeter to understand how it works*
Next level right here.
Getting the whole circuit with nothing but the continuity function then flashing the schematic like it was trivial, now that's something.
My favorite song is Radiozurnal throught skin.
amazing pain when i touched AM 50kW transmitter in Topolna.
Great Scott,
You remind me with myself in 90's while doing RF projects,so I suggest you to make a tutorial "How to make a PLL FM OSCILLATOR",it'll be interesting,rarely on the RUclips such projects...
This channel is really awesome!
Subscribed. Dude, you have my attention. I love your videos I found last week.
My only suggestion is to provably go a tad slower on the principles. Keep doing what you do
Holy crap did you all catch that? I'm often like oh man I need something that's X mm in diameter. And I can never find it I'm always like, I should buy a set of punches so I'll always have an array of cylinders to use.
But he just used a drill bits, brilliant.
"My favorite song called 1KHz sine wave" Man I love this guy!
i tried the circuit . and it worked ! . i had a little trouble with tunning but i manged to pick up 2 fm stations 88.2 _ 88.7 MHz
i actually didn't have the bf199 so i used a 2N3904 and it worked !! . but had to use a high impedance earphone .
you are awesome :)
Thanks for the feedback :-)
the Boy Scout handbook from the 60's (still available online) has a instructional tutorial about how to built a small radio requiring no power with everything hand made and which used a old spring metal bed frame for the antenna plus a old style low power clip on ear piece to listen to it...... and it does work, I built one for real when I was 12yrs old...
and my bad, this builds a AM radio not FM
As always great information. Thanks for sharing.
Mal wieder KLASSE! // Great, ;D
I loved the video!!!! If you could make a video on how to build a proper fm receiver it would be awsome!!!!
Love ur videos. But i like when you gradually improves the circuits until you get a viable option
OMG i LOOOOVE 1KHz Sine Wave! AC-AC is SOOOOO COOOOOL
Very nice video demonstration..thanks for sharing !
Detectooth... depending on two different metal dentist restoration in tooth, it is possible to feel (& hear) AM vibrations when near broadcast Antenna!
?
Very nice video, too good explained, do you have a detailed soldering videos about this item, I got lot of questions, but a step by step video about such Fm receiver like this can make clear some of those questions. Thank you
I have all the parts and building it NOW.
BiTe Agario YT how did it go???
The outro speech is awesome!
Had a few attempts with transmitter circuits recently. My little, cheap, consumer radio is way more interesting now. 1 cm transmission is a win. I'm going for 5-10 meters or hoping.
3:06 "PodenSchometor" - great one! (Immer noch besser als jedes Englisch, was ich bisher rausgedrueckt habe)
I was searching on Google how to make a FM transmitter and got this in my feed !!!!
I am getting RUclips's algorithm slowly!
Great Video! Could you please make a tutorial on how to build a mini tesla coil? Would be really nice!
+Plankins It's already on my to do list.
Stone Cold7 lel
thats gotta be a huge todo list :D
I love them 1kHz sine wave beats, yo
Making a FM or even AM radio is one of the most basic things you learn, but that does not make it bad.
What a legend this guy is.
Great video. Would really like to see more information about making the coil. I can never seem to understand them... Maybe for wireless technology :) Thanks
+Nick Farrow Someday I will make a video about wireless charging. There I will talk more about the constructions of coils.
+GreatScott! Super excited :)
+GreatScott! Awesome I can't even wait
+GreatScott! Video on wireless charger will be great! Looking forward.....
Great video, but what are the IC (mentioned as a substitute to the DIY FM receiver) that you did show at the end of the video ?
In 3:20 where can you get those storage drawers?
I have small question, what power source should I use for this project?
Btw your videos are great😉
thanks for your research about fm signal wave
Man, you are so complete!
love your channel
Thanks your learned me very important thing
Can you please make some videos, about electrolysis DC, and some explaination about the most fitting adjustable power supply to it. Thanks
1:31 accent had me in tears lol
the FM side of my car stereo is no longer working, looking for a possible video on repairing it... have you made one for this problem or do you have any tips? I know it is not easy to just suggest but a starting place would be great! THX for the video....
1kHz Sine Wave would be a great name for a metal band.
Hello GreatScott, you can make a video about raspberry pi GPIO??
Great video but why solder all the soldering ends underneath together, that shouldn't be good?
Hello GreatScott, since you appear to like wireless stuff could you make a video about the Xbee?
Btw I love your videos, keep going!
+Fluburtur I have two of them laying around. A video with those will surely happen someday.
GreatScott! Thank you, I will start doing Arduino stuff soon with a rather ambitious project and I must say I learned a lot thanks to you.
Good stuff you got over here.
I can't find sine wave on I-tunes : )
+TheRogerx3 Best one yet ;-) I like it.
GreatScott! can you please tell which software you are using for virtual circuit design ????
@@researchmode7065 Probably just easyeda. It's a free online software for circuit and PCB design. Basically, It's awesome!
Damn 1kHz sinewave, the bomb! Real underground music, what the 1337 kidz listen to. Almost as hardcore as static! ;)
you rock! thanks for your excellent videos!
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
When the coil wrapping part came, the first thing came to my mind was vaping... :DDD
Very nice!
Can you make a video showing how to send data using Fm or AM?
u r awesome scoot i like u very much u hv inspired me so much ;)
I love you soo much I can't wait for the next video
Could you please post the link where you found the fm schematics..i couldn't understand how's it called and hence couldn't find it..anyway great and educational videos, keep up the good work :)
I love your videos so much.
I love your videos
Many simple fm transmitter is unstable they changed its frequency according to input voltage , nearby objects and some times by diractions . So is it possible to make fm transmitter using 555 ic if it at least get in 1Mhz range but Such transmitter need custom receiver because stander fm band are way higher then 555 maximum frequency range !! 555 are stable at fiz frequency i want to build this circuit as coller tracker for pets !
"to pump out my favorite song, 1khz sine wave" ... ... BWAHAHAHA
Is there an easy and cheap way to power a single "Christmas tree light" LED bulb with standard 110v AC to use as a window "candle" light?
great scott would you please make a video about simple fm transmitter ??
Absolute banger of a tune
Great quality videos!!
You also like 1khz Sine waves? They are my favorite!
hey greatscott!,
could you make a video about extracting embedded software from a ROM chip?
I've been doing some research on it, but can't really get clear how to do it.
Hey Scott!
Can I also pick up a the 'Bayern 3' frequency (97,6 MHz) with this?
76-108 MHz
