      ​@@WhatStuff🔴 What Is Islam?
      🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
      🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
      🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
      🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
      🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
      🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
      📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚
      🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
      🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

      @ludost5178 2 роки тому

      this doesn't transmit anything,it is just a system used to open and close a circuit,but it doesn't do that,it's basically just an electromagnet attracting a paperclip,quite useless,i guess you can communicate from one room to another if you had long enough wires,but this thing has no way to distinguish between a dit and a dah,the two types of signals used to transmit morse code,so again,useless.

  • @JeremyShaw
    @JeremyShaw 3 роки тому +1

    This telegram sounder is missing a critical element. A telegraph sounder makes a click sound when it is engaged and a clack sound when it is released. For a dit the time between the click and clack is short, and for a dah the time between the click and clack is about 3 times longer. Without the 'clack' part it is not possible to distinguish between a dit and dah. For example, how would you tell the difference between the letter 'e' (dit), and the letter 't' (dah).
    To fix this design, there should be something above the nail that the paperclip hits when you release the key and the sounder paperclip returns to its resting position. It needs to make a slightly different sound than the 'click'.

    Here, the clicker wouldn`t jump back. Ich tried by attaching it to a thin thread, the clicker had to move sideways and slightly upwards, so gravity should have provided enough force to detach it after the electromagnetic field broke down - still didn`t work. Problem was: the nail had become permanently magnetized. Holding it over a candle didn`t help... still, the video gives one the idea of how it should work. Thanks :o)

    • @Soulliom
      @Soulliom 5 років тому

      The copper wire wrapped around the iron screw works as a magnet, only when electricity runs through it, the sound is made when the copper coil attracts the paper clip and the two collide (But this design doesn't work off of sound as there are only 'dits' and no 'dahs' ('.' and '-' respectively) it works off of looking if the paper clip is attracted or not. Hopefully this answered your question.

      If you are talking about the reciever, no, you must use copper wire, when it wrapped around a magnetic object and with electricity running through it- it helps it become a magnet, attracting the paper clip above it. Basically, you need that copper wire. You cannot replace the copper wire with the blue wire.

      T Delano if the clicker is too far from the nail it will wiggle but it will not click. If its too close, it will just stick. Also make sure the second paperclip which is your key (switch) is completely connected. also if you dont use enough wire around the nail it might not work. You are really making a Electromagnet and when you connect the switch it turns the nail into a magnet and it attracts the paperclip to it

      Copper wire works. Make sure to sand the ends off.
