This video features an odd gadget. This little hollow feeling speaker uses induction technology to amplify the speaker of any device you place on top of it. It's actually quite surprising to hear the increase in volume in the absence of a bluetooth or wifi connection to the speaker directly. Is the quality as good as a high-end bluetooth speaker? Not quite, but this thing could still be quite useful given the right application.

Stop scrolling and do your homework
Lieutenant Gamer I'm in Vacation :/
Lieutenant Gamer how the hell did u know?!
I haven't had homework in damn near a decade.
crap
Lieutenant Gamer Jokes on you I got expelled
Detailed explaination of how this works:
as the speaker in the phone plays, electric current is being passed through the speaker's coil. The Induction Speaker does not rely on the distorted phone speaker sound (or its vibrations, which would eliminate the high-end of the frequency spectrum and amplify certain lower frequencies because the phone resonates), but on the mostly very clean electro-magnetic signal generated by the speaker's coil.
this electro-magnetic signal is then picked up by the Induction Speaker's coil on the top side and amplified, then played via it's own speaker.
Basically the NFC of radio technology. Very short range but totally ingenious.
You could also refer to the phone's speaker as the "primary coil" of the core-less transformer, the Induction Speaker's pickup coil would then be called the "secondary coil".
From one electronics expert to another I gotta hand it to you totally genius! I was wondering if this might be "NFC" technology and it is, just not the way you'd think! thanks for sharing you knowledge.
Why did I had to scroll so much for this. This is actually what we do at our music class when we're doing a band practice and want to check some part of the song. We just simply put the phone aligned correctly with out guitar/bass pickups (which *picks up* electromagnetic signal generated by the speaker's coil and gives loud output on the connected amplifier speaker.
+Yash Lalluwadia
omfg so this was actually a thing people did!
are you sure the pickups aren't actually just amplifying the phone's speaker sound?
+Fabian B to clarify: I compared it to NFC because of the short range (weak electromagnetic field). this stuff is completely analogue (well, after the DAC in the phone anyways). also: I am no fucking expert, haha!
***** No. it doesn't take EMF as input. The mechanical vibration of phone's speaker is captured (change in flux of coil in EMF) which is converted into electric signals that is amplified. So putting this speaker on a wireless charger will do nothing (may damage the speaker though)
Yash Lalluwadia
thx 4 trolling m8.
imagine having a table made of these where you can just throw your phone on and the sound is amplified
I'd love to see that
plase donate me some bit coin on 32P5R34HLvpMaFxxEQakS27bR9YpZQBBkb
or in western union
iam arrang this for my school fee iam soo poor i want just 200$ for my school fee
so plz donate me because you guys buy a gadgets every week and we dont have money for go to school so plz try to donate me
Austin Nirnito Biswas fuck you
lol brutal
cycronofficial ayyyyy 100th like 😂😉
I've had 4 of these for almost 3 years. The audio jack in the back is notorious for coming loose (sinks inside the device). I've had 40+ customers bring them back with that issue alone. Another issue is a lot of them don't work. Some times right out of the box, but usually after a month of use. They aren't bad (when you get one that works) if you have a little know how, you can simply pull it apart to fix it. I don't know what they sell them for now, but when my store carried them, they sold for 15 dollars Canadian. If you buy one, just expect there is a big chance you'll be solely using it with an auxiliary cord. Only 1 of the 4 I own is still working with the wireless feature. Thank you for taking the time to read my comment. I hope you have a fantastic day
oh, one more thing. The two speaker holes in the front, only one is functional (has a speaker) the other is just for looks.
Viking King No, it really doesn't. Buy one and you will see it doesn't provide any amplification. What it looks like on the inside is the company couldn't afford to put both speakers into the device. the "dummy" speaker you mention, inside you will notice it's built to house a second speaker. The plastic is literally molded to have another speaker inside. Yes, you can here sound coming out the dummy speaker but it's muffled, to help amplify sound is not what it was designed for.
Didn't a Dutch beer company hand out these things to people that bought this many cans of beer?
yes, i got one ;). and its awesome.
HEINEKEN!!
🍻HEINEKEN🍻
Roestige Spijker dat dacht ik
Roestige Spijker Jupiler ook
3:13 I love that they put the sneeze in the edit! One of those things that sets you apart, Lew. Keepin' it real.
where does he gets the background music from? it's always so good
What if you put your phone on one of those touch speakers on another touch speaker on another touch speaker on another touch speaker on another touch speaker on another touch speaker? ...does it get infinitely loud?
touchspeakerception
The speaker would become saturated... you wouldnt hear a thing... and yes im fun at parties
Not really?
it might get to a point where there's a lot of distortion
or a maximum volume
and they all resonate
and break
but this is just my half-physics brain bullshitting
Laplagaable You like connecting a lot of things to each other😏
The speaker alone saturates the cellphone... and adding more speakes would just amplify the distortion
Yeah but, what if you wanna use your phone while your playing music...
OhhFree you hold the speaker
Nguyên Minh Lê sometimes I have the feeling, that such products are more for "show what's possible" rather than real overall usage products.
OhhFree duck tape
Then buy a different product
Hungry4Sleep ! Nooo, always use hot glu!😜
No joke i sneezed the exact same time he sneezed
Michael Simmons k
o hello michael simmons. if that is your real name.
Michael Simmons so special
Am I supposed to be surprised? *Acts Surprised*
I guess your the next unbox therapy dude then 😒
My grandma got me one of these a few christmases back as far as sound quality goes its not a good main speaker but for something youre bringing around this is amazing! Love this little gadget
I had a thing like this for 4 years, it's nothing special, I got it with a Heineken 6 pack! #notsponsored
Aleksije Vujovic You live in the Netherlands?
That Guy Just because I bought a pack of Heineken, doesn't mean I live in The Netherlands.
Isn't Heineken like German or something?
Aleksije Vujovic I didn't think that because of that you bought Heineken, but because they had that same promotion about 4years ago here in the Netherlands
Bastian Inuk Christensen No, Heineken is Dutch, for sure.
Is anyone else unnerved by Lew's sudden vocal explosions? Its like he's jacked up on too much coffee or something. Scary....
Sisil Kabir jacked up 😂😂
Yup, I know. Sew what I did there? "Jack-ed" up? :D
DO JBL HORIZON PLEASZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE COME ON LEW,,,, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!!
Or drugs...
We will never know.......
I've had this speaker for 2 years (not this exact brand) and I've always wanted you to make a video about it. It truly does feel like magic.
TronixGaming so have I
What about sound quality?
Bruce Wayne the sound quality is good
Bruce Wayne it's pretty good
I assume it just picks up the magnetic field created by the speakers in the phone right?
Hey Lew! You missed the oportunity to change cellphones with a fade between musics! Hello from Brasil! Keep up the great work!
The current going through the phone'd speakers in being picked up (induced) by the induction speakers, that's ingenious.
GreenAppelPie yes
its basically like when you put your phone near an electric guitar pickup and it plays through the amp...
Heeeeey
He's playing my EP :DD
thanks buddy hehe
wow , which one budd ?
Farouq Cherfa
what !?
I have no clue, I didn't even type that
maybe u clicked reply and it just typed out it self lol , it's okay have a nice day bruh
omg the rainy evening ep is the best lew!
Lew, we need your playlists!
I think its the magnets pulsing to move the phone speakers is what it's detecting. Cool!
RandomGgames yeah, i totally agree with you
RandomGgames yea, my friend used to do this with his electric guitar pickups
You're basically right. There are inductors (coiled wire around a ferrite core) where the speakers rest. It picks up the electromagnetic field from the speakers and amplifies it. I have a similar device to this, I typically use it while working outside so I can leave my phone alone and still be able to pick it up without dealing with wires.
Cool. Just by seeing how it worked as he moved the phone, I only guessed :P Haven't seen anything like this before. Coolz :D
I used this with my note 7 and my house blew up
I always comeback to watch this particular video for that sneeze! Hahahahahahah! Made my day everytime!
Lew please do a Q&A video pplllsss!!
3:16 to 3:18 Rick Flair, WHOOOO, also lay off the Cocaine man...
ProtoMario but Proto, cocaine is good
Booger Sugar
didnt expect to see u here
But Prooooooootoooo
But Proto, U told that u love gen 1
But Proto.....
Proto also loves unbox therapy.
What if you put a Bluetooth speaker on top of it?
OstenTV Same thing will happen
But louder?
OstenTV /music plays
yes
OstenTV MLG intensifies
The subtitles are great on here making it a lots easier for those who are disabled to watch your UA-cam channel, how come you stopped doing subtitles?
damn that idealism EP is really good ! Btw Lew, could you give us the name of the tracks you use to test those speakers ? I can't tell how many times I heard a track here that I couldn't find :)
I'm guessing It works using induction from the speaker's coil onto a coil inside the amplifier.
blackcorvo. I was thinking more like, magic.
Léon The Professional Procrastinator I'm an electronics technician, there's no magic in that, just clever use of electronics.
blackcorvo I think he was joking
Daniel Pro I know, but I think knowing how things work is much more exciting than assuming it's magic!
blackcorvo I've seen these before and u r right, they take the vibrations that the speaker transmittes through waves and amplifies them.
It doesn't have to do anything with vibrations, that's for sure. Iit has an electromagnetic pickup, not a microphone. Your phone's speaker coil modifies the pickup's magnetic field, and that's what it amplifies. At least I think it works like that :D
This Speaker is so Loud it literally blew the sneeze right out of him!!.. XD
Cool tech. That's really practice.
Jack heard at 3:14
Tom King omg
Heard him aswell

Sohrab Nouri I think you can find a playlist on soundcloud
My friend Levi has one of these, they are pretty cool; its pretty amazing what they can do with magnets and induction technology. I saw a wireless charger that will charge your phone within a 5 meter radius the other day using tech developed by Tesla years ago you should look into reviewing one- they are sparse and expensive, but super cool!
speakers use magnets as divers, magnets create magnetic fields, an induction coil in the box picks up that field, converts it to an electrical signal, internal amp boosts it, drives the bigger speaker. pretty awesome science fair experiment made into a product.
induction means it senses the magnetic field from the speaker coils. it's really quite simple.
What about front facing speakers, like the Nexus 6P?
It would still work. It picks up on the internal vibrations of the phone regardless of which way the speakers face.
Dan Morhaim i don't think it using vibration or sound wave, i think it pick up electromagnetic wave from the speaker coil.
Bud Bud your right i got one to and opened it
What it's doing is it's using the principle of magnetic induction, there is a coil in the unit that is "detecting" the change in magnetic field in the speakers. That then creates a small movement of electrons in the coil of the base, that is then amplified within the speaker and outputted as an electrical signal to the speakers in the unit. Real clever use of an old electronics principle.
hey man the music you play is great, do you got a spotify playlist for it?
I believe it works off the same phenomenon that occurs when you put a small speaker (ie: smartphone) near a guitar pickup.
acompres Yup
Yeah, I was just about to say that. Been doing it for years.
i have one of these and find it perfect for camping.
For all of you thinking, that there is a mic and speaker playing back the sound: No! Its NOT.
Every Speaker has a magnet and a coil.The coil creates magnetic fealds in the music's frequency in order to move the magnet. The magnet moves the membrain and you hear the sound.
Now this device catches the changing magnetic field from the coil with another coil, and amplifies the signal to some better quality speakers.
Very easy and convinient thing.
Come on Lew! It's 2016 no one sneezes in their hand anymore! Haha, and that thing is dope.. I actually kinda want one!
you could get one of those things with 8 cans of heineken 2 years ago👍. It works with the magnetic field in your phone that's produced by your speaker.
Jacks voice in the background at 3:14? :o
I'm honestly pretty impressed. I mean, obviously the sound quality isn't great, but for what it is it's miles better than what I expected. I thought it was just going to be a microphone that picks up the sound from the phone speakers and relays it to the speakers in the base
I tested one of these with my flip phone and an alarm. It amplified it. It even works with my laptop speakers. What krass76 says is the correct explanation of how this device works. Essentially, you are turning your device's speaker coil into a primary coil of a transformer and the amplifer coil into the secondary coil. It'll probably even work with those tape cassette adapters. Just put the adapter's tape head near the amplifier coil. It should work with anything that has a coil. The cashier were I got this amplifier said that it basically works about the same as a wooden box with a hole in one side. I believe those are called a sounding box. Those work off of the sound vibration of the speaker and of course requires no power to amplify sound. It's also the same principle of how the guitar instrument works to play music when the musician strums the guitar strings.
4K Views in 1 Minute! Damn Jack. without you?
The one flawed thing about this is that people don't want to leave their phone there. Bluetooth allows the people to keep their phone on them and not have to worry. Just my opinion though.
True , might as well be wired if you can't move it around
I think the speaker amplifies the low end... treble is already super loud on smartphones so clarifying the low end and amplifying it would likely make it feel significantly louder and more clear.
This is called NFA (Near Field Audio). Every speaker uses a magnet to move the cone up and down. This magnetic field is used to read the audio from your phone and then amplified into the speaker.
Does anyone know the name of the song in the background?
why do u need a louder call theres a speaker on the phone
MrSerCo - Minecraft and more Mister Minecraft kiddo. Those aren't loud enough
Yeah, and they peak like a mofo.
More often then not if you need anything louder you can rest asure someone has a boombox or something you can connect it to other wise it's usually sufficient if you're the only one listening to music. This thing is for people like lew who are never satisfied with what they have and are always looking and wishing they had something better (Like a big spoiled kid) instead of being greatful for what they have.
Well someone is jealous.
TheCrappyVideoGameChannel
Its just constructive waves. That’s how volume is increased in your speakers or car radio. Essentially if you line up the sound waves from your phone with the device it adds the amplitudes of both sound waves increasing the volume. So the higher the amplitude the louder your speakers are.
Wireless induction is pretty simple, It works similar to a microphone but without the diaphragm, The Emf generated from the device speaker is picked up from the induction coil in the speaker box then amplified, This is basically working from the electromagnetic field generated from the phone speaker and a receiving coil converts the field into sound again similar to the way electricity can be wireless with the use of induction coils in wireless phone chargers. Its pretty cool, Just would prefer a bigger speaker for better sound :D
or instead of pairing bluetooth, just p[lug it in.....
unless its an iphone
Damn revolutionary phone amirite?
JohnsonStPetersonson 100%
100% ambitious if you ask me. but not a fan
JohnsonStPetersonson more like courageous
What about cases
Yeah there are tons of them in the UK it's pretty old tech but it's also pretty cool
"gonna call up AJ" caught me off guard lol
Been there, done that. These have been out for like 4 years. Please review new tech, not company's copying each other. Still love ya -.-
Whoa, what sorcery is this?... At first, before you unboxed it, I was thinking maybe it uses NFC (if that's even possible with audio). Mind = Blown !
EDIT: Magnetic Induction
Gamers Creed you can use NFC to pair via Bluetooth on certain speakers that support it, but I don't think Apple devices have NFC
Gamers Creed magnetic induction
+Sam Lui Yup, just did a little research, really impressive how it all works with such little circuitry.
I just realized something. Speakers use magnets to work, so you could use the magnetic field of the speakers and then just recreate that with a better speaker.
I actually found something out!
Gamers Creed I think a device inside this device measures the electromagnetic field a speaker generates to let the membrane swing which generates the sound. This read date is then transfered to the speakers of the device
Pree cool. There's a bit of distortion in the sound but otherwise a neat idea.
Hey lew we have a speaker just like that in the Netherlands for almost a year now and it is very popular here 😉
*hold up*
you know he sometimes refers to 'jack'?
*here's my conspiracy:*
ok so you know that 'ayy lmao' meme, the pic of the alien looking through the window with the caption "'ayy lmao'", no one knew where that pic originated from, until some reddit user found the same frame in the x files "Jose Chung's from outer space". In the same scene one alien refers to the other as "jack", the face of the 'ayy lmao meme. *CONSPIRACY OVER* thanks 😚
have I uncovered the legend of jack? like if you agree
You got that from behind the meme bro.
Bendix Keller 😅 u got me
Graphikal I Free Graphics, Gaming & More! :D
PotatoNuke
Lew what kind of music do u listen to sounds really good
I think it is a mic and speaker system. A mic which can capture sound from a very small area. If you can try speaking near the two spots on speaker and show us all what happens, that will be cool! Thanks man!
doesnt really suprise me with what we can do these days
you can do the same with an electric guitar and a phone if you happen to own it.
Lars høk jesus 2.0?
i bought a speaker like this 2 yrs ago for $15 at spencers
+Harambe 101 return of harambe?
I bought an RCA alarm clock that has something called sound flow. I found that it wasn't that loud. Worth it for 10$ tho.
Edit: Also you can't be on your phone while playing music which is a HUGE con.
so what am i going to do with my one m9 with front speakers?
Put it upside down
🎶 "Do you wanna link, do you wanna pair..are you sure about that!?" 🎶 that sounds like a hot song
You can do that on old stereo with cassette,you just need to get phones speaker close to that cassette magnet reader thing and you will have boosted sound.
What happens if ur placing two or more phones on it?
Tr4XiZ harambe comes back from heaven
that was so random LOOOL
What's the name of the music played with the Pixel Phone ?
Pixel Music
Idealism
Darude - Sandstorm
if you have a phone just ask google for the song name while you play it
I don't have a phone
I think there is a little microphone that works as the input of the voice and there are big speakers that works as output of the sound. It is easy technology and I work in a very good way. I thought he was going to shout at it to test there is something.
the music playing on the back.... awsome
I got a speaker like that from Heineken :P
maxitaxie3000 me too
maxitaxie3000 k
Me too lol
same
Holland Heineken 😄😄😄
The company should make another smartphone pad with just a 3.5mm audio out but I doubt that would work/happen.
Johnny Cogs so you mean a regular speaker. What the fuck.
its making fun of iphone 7 holy shit u slow?
Dexty no, he just wants some in that u set ur phone on and then you can connect it to another speaker...probable nicer
Dexty I dont really see how it is but ok
Grant Meinerding Yes I didn't think I was being that confusing. The hot swap speaker shit is pretty cool and if you had a little pad like that in your car that you could plugin to the stereo that would be interesting.
Had one of these ( different version ) for like 2 years now .. you put 3 AA batteries in it and then drop it on top where the icon is is where you put the speaker on the phone , then its all good but its more of a desk thing
God bless you Lew!
I am curious how it handles a phone in a case. I feel like the case would hinder this speaker too much.
Pat O that's what I'm thinking
Cases are for plebs
LOL this project isn't new. I got a speaker like that except blue and it cost $10 😂
Warrior 54 does it work?
link?
Warrior 54 kmart sells these 10$ they work but soo shit
where?
got one in wal mart like 8 years ago probably like 20bucks
Sounds great

2:23 Song?
i want to know this too!

Ever heard of a thing called Shazam?
is it too late for Darude sandstorm

who ever is reading this I hope you have a nice day/night 🙂
4:26 that moment when he holds up the phone to the mic so we can hear better instead of using the speaker that amplifies it already
You guys are the best I watch you every day
Its NFC!
Latvian GamePlayZ {LV} Its not, not all devices support nfc, it uses the magnetic field the speaker is generating
No...
No, you can't send so much data so quickly over nfc. With NFC it would just enable bluetooth on the phone and connect to the speaker.
no !, it's induction
hi
Bless you lew
Lou, just curious you ever think about changing up ur Table? I figure the white is for a clean showcase. But I've always seen the same white table.
Maybe some pretty wood grain table?
I don't know just a thought. Love the vids
Hi jack o/

Sir please please please please please unbox it. I want to see the Xiaomi Mi Mix on Unbox therapy...
song at 2:23?
nevermind 2:59
Are you unable to read properly dude? soundcloud.com/eqbeats/dawnapproach
And btw 2:23 and 2:59 are the exact same tracks.
Asianboyyy117 what is the song if you know it
Roman Rangel he linked the soundcloud man and pause at 2:59 lazy beech
Asianboyyy117 He linked it? I swear he never does.
That knife donde....I want one sir!!!
The coil of the iPhone speaker is producing an electromagnetic field. The speaker box picks up the EMF by means of a coil and then amplifies it.

Hey Lewis. You need to do a video on the Altec Lansing life jacket Bluetooth speaker! It is loud! With NFC. (Hint turn up the speaker too!)
You're saying it uses "vibration" or sound from the device. My guess is that is uses the EMF(electromagnetic field) from the coil that drives the speaker... I would assume that there is simply a coil in the very top of the amp/speaker that is connected to an amplifier circuit(hopefully with some protection circuit inbetween).
