Increase your wireless signal strength using a soda can
This is my first movie on diy stuff. Movies are a much better way to teach people on doing stuff because they can see the details and watch the steps in the movie much easier than reading some boring text. In this first movie i am teaching you how to increase your wireless signal strength using just a soda can. Here is how it works: the shape of the can and the materials that is made from concentrate the signal and this is how you get an increased signal. Good luck building it.

Did you put that on the receiver or the transmitter? Do you think this would work on the transmitter side of a small FM transmitter like the ones used for MP3 players?

Hi Matt, I don’t know if it will work on your FM transmitter, but it’s cheap and easy to try, so, make a test and tell us the result.

I will Florin, thanks. And BTW: I thought the production of your film was perfectly adequate. I’ve studied how to make films (from how to films, journalism pieces, to short docs) and I’ve produced numerous of all of those. Yours was spot on given the subject matter. Well done. Remember to give the subject a lot of lighting. If it aint worth seein’ it aint worth tapin’. Keep up the good work.
