Wow, the Hypergain antenna goes for less than 5 bucks, this one sounds like a real winner! Thanks Mr. Kipkay!
"Why would you want to be a half mile from your TV?"
Because Jersey Shore came on?
Hello 10 years ago....so that you can buy a cheap TILE and use it as a GPS unit
I vote for increased kitty range
ditto.i think?
cast390 Meow
**plugs in new intenna**
MEOW!
+cast390 I will call u wubby face
cast390 yes
This is Kipkay, Helping you microwave the shit out of yourself!!! Lol
I think I need a increased kitty range!
:D
I need increased doggie range.
Your tips are so simple, yet so effective. AWESOME!
Dualshock 3=bluetooth
Cordless phone=RF
Tv remote=iR
Kitty=KF(kitty frequency) ;)
i thought we were talking about bluetooths.how did we go from that to kitty cats!!!!! lol
Ps5 DUALSENSE
@@KILLA219 If you notice, that comment is from 6 years ago. There's no DualSense back then
Kipkay man, i hope you never stop doing this. I love it.
Too soon.
Novel idea but, as a computer tech professional, I would not recommend trying this. Bluetooth is a very unsecured means of communication. Increasing your connection area only increases the area you have in which to be attacked, hacked, etc. But it will definitely work with any radio frequency transceiver device; phones, wifi routers/hotspots, or wireless microphones.
"almost 3/4 miles down the road" *laughs*
12 years later, and this is still awesome
"Half mile TV remote? No why would you would a half mile from your TV?" Lol time infinity
I cant find the solder contacts on the cat please help?
Adam J This is funny without context
Adam J Well first you have to find the screws on your model cat, the ones on mine are inside the stomach witch are pretty hard to get to. Then unscrew them and their will be the solder points.
Adam J Use rectal probes. Warning! This can be very dangerous! To you, AND the cat.
directions unclear, cat pregnant...plz help!

So is your username
Will this increase toilet paper dispensing range?
+Pickled Onion Probably yes.
+Pickled Onion i prefer my pickles onioned..
were you referring to how frequently one poops in a day? the sound it makes? or like, the resonant frequency of poop? you know, the frequency at which poop exists..
I love these videos because they make life less of a hassle, and the companies know this.
I miss watching your videos! You're my fave and your videos are Fantastic, creative and inspiring!
u r awesome kip kay
I vote increased kitty range!
you can increase the range of your Bluetooth up to billions of miles away !
Thanks. I've been looking for enhanced kitty range solutions for years.
The antenna is built for the 2.4 GHz frequency range. It increases the range of the Bluetooth transmitter because of resonance. Each specific frequency has a “proper antenna length” this length of antenna correlates to the resonant frequency of the transmitter which makes the transmitter more efficient and can travel farther. This means that for other devices which operate on 2.4 GHz the antenna will increase their range. However if the device operates on a lower frequency like MHz-KHz then the small antenna will reduce the range. But you could get some success with devices which operate in the 2-3 GHz range.
Tried this on my cat and it ran away....
Well, you should have been able to locate i with the antenna... I found mine in a bush.
Jeff AKA Slinger hahahaahhaa
you can increase the range of your Bluetooth up to billions of miles away !
hey how about increasing wifi range
"snicker"
you can transfer internet over Bluetooth connection
see what NASA did , NASA increased the range of her WIFI up to billions of miles away !
Yeah... It will!!!!!
love the stuff u upload keep them coming
WOW, you mean if you put a bigger antenna on anything you get a better signal? You are amazing! Der!
Maybe make an old pair of headphones Bluetooth?
Even if the phone could detect the signal from 3/4 mile away, it could never send a signal back. Useless.
It also increases receiving range genius...
Jonathon Gay It doesn't work that way. The signal from the phone would never radiate far enough to be picked up.
***** while your reasoning is sound, I think cellular signals are not the same as bluetooth
They're all different forms of radio waves and work the same way.
***** Go to school and learn how the cellular network works. Then learn how BlueTooth works. Especially pay attention to the radiated energy of a Bluetooth radio compared to a cellular radio, its susceptibility to interference, and signal scattering effects at longer range. Then come back and explain again how a BlueTooth connection could be made at 3/4 of a mile.
This is a relic of an older time
I already increased my kitty's range
To the people who don't seem to think this can work:
=====================================
● From my limited knowledge I know that the larger (or better) an aerial I put on my transceiver the further away I can send and receive signals.
● I also know that those further stations are not broadcasting at any higher power just because I changed MY aerial. So it must have been the aerial that was responsible for giving me the increased range.
● Further, if I add an aerial amplifier into my transceiving system I can increase the distance even MORE that I can get good signal.
In other words: Your phone's Bluetooth power output is NOT the limiting factor. Active two way communication can take place as long as the controlling phone is within the Bluetooth device's transmission range.
Or am I being thick? . . ,-)
You are correct, just note that even though the phone can read a signal from further away doesn't mean it can send anything back. Both devices would require the same effective range for 2 way communication.
The wavelength is 12.5cm so having an antenna that is not of tuned length is of no advantage.
Matthew Chiera Yep, indeed. Strapping on an arbitrarily long antenna will improve the catchment area but the signal quality will suffer.
If it's a monopole antenna (most are that are readily available) then a length that is an odd number x wavelength/4 is best: (2n + 1)*Wavelength/4. Usually people just use wavelength/4 so appropriate antenna length here would be 31.25mm
T.V remotes actually use infrared l.e.d's to transmit the signal.
+wynnful the tv remote for ps3 doesnt
+weeowey not the controller, the actual bd remote accessory.
weeowey what does this guy show in this video????????????? T.V Remote control. read before you comment.
That's what I thought but I can use my tv remote to operate my ps3 and ps4.
wynnful Some don't use infrared. Some use UHF or that stuff. *Turn your brain back on.*
Sphero+this hack = Ultimate epicness
This is ridiculously good for 2010
... What if i hook that up to my router... hmmmmmm....
MaliciousShipBuilder The Antenna is used for the Antenna of a wifi router
So anyone in a 3/4 mile radius can connect to your device. And what about the tv remote ain't it infrared signal?
some are UHF instead of IR
I'm mostly interested in the kitty range upgrade!
increased kitty range LOL
Bluetooth is short range because it is very insecure... don't use extenders for Bluetooth and only have it turned on while your are using it
The connection has to be password protected. Then It's okay to use it.
***** There isn't many that good hackers. And if there is they are doing more important things than listening bluetooth connection. And even more better hacker is needed to inject trojan trought it.
why wouldnt it work with a ps3 controller?
It would
Heres an analogy for whats happened here. Think of a lightbulb in your living room. Its designed to light up the whole room so that everything in the room is illuminated. Now swop out the lightbulb for a spotlight. Suddenly you get nice bright spot that can illuminate distant objects, but is useless for lighting big spaces. See where this is going? Adding this antenna will give you better range at the expense of omnidirectionally. In other words the pattern of the signal is being turned from a bubble into a beam.
If that were a directional antenna.
Increased kitty range xD LOL
This just will not work. Two problems: 1 No way a phones bluetooth is sending a signal back 3/4 of a mile to the pc (lol) 2: the usb port on the pc would burn out in no time trying to supply the increased power demand. Seriously people, think this through; if increasing bluetooth range were as easy as using a more powerful antenna, don't you think the companies involved in this highly competitive sector would do it?
Then why don`t they design Earplugs which stay in your Ears?
This does work, but this video is an oversimplification of it. A dipole or monopole antenna could do it over that range, but line of sight and on a band that is unpopulated with other devices, or a band lower down the spectrum. 2.4GHZ is easily attenuated by the most mundane of materials. Using a yagi will help and a stacked yagi will help by the factor of how many yagi's you have calibrated together and matched on both ends. You can easily get significant distance using this method and further still by raising high off the ground to defeat the curvature of the earth, but this is the limit of bands that are above 800MHz (and even some lower frequencies struggle to curve with the earth).
ytsejam6891 There is no need to increase the power demand on the Bluetooth There is also no magic to it. If you want your signal to go further then you need to use a high gain antenna. Gain is achieved by focusing or directing the signal in a smaller area to the one you had before. EG a yagi is the weapon of choice if you really want rang you can stack them, feed them with same length Coax to limit matching issues. increasing the power to the antenna will increase the distance it 'could' travel but not by much, it's very exponential, doubling the power of the RF only increases the signal enough to move one S-point (relative to a decibel). There are other limitations such as the RF cannot bend around corners or follow the bend in the earth, but this can be cured by raising the antennas at both ends. I know some of my fellow radio hams that operate with the same power levels as a Bluetooth device who have worked stations all over the world, some using equipment that can only be described as primitive compared to Bluetooth. more power doesn't always mean more signal.
ytsejam6891 I don't think you understand how usb or wireless signals works. Increasing the length of the antenna wont affect Tx-power, or increase overall power usage of the device. Also, USB spec devices are able to supply 2 amps, which is MUCH more than any standard usb bluetooth adapter will use.
Also, bluetooth dongles aren't a "highly competitive sector" at all. They do sell bluetooth dongles with antennas that stick out, but they have higher manufacturing costs and aren't as common for mainstream use. This mod is simply for adding an antenna to a cheap bluetooth device that you may have lying around.
Hung Wang Can you explain what I'm wrong about?
So we remove the existing antenna from the unit and replace it with this new super antenna? OK. Lets look at some hard facts. The original antenna is matched for the device with a VSWR of 1.2 to 1, the gain of the antenna is 3 dbi. The new "HACK" antenna now installed has a VSWR of 1.7 to 1 and a gain of 3.5 dbi. Yes, the new antenna has a higher gain But...... the VSWR went up due to a mismatch and the coax cable has a loss of .7 db. Bringing the new antennas efficiency down to 2.5 dbi. or lower. Sure, you might receive a signal 3/4 of a mile away, but can you send a signal back? I have done experiments like this, and the improvement is negligible.
How abot making another one on the back of your phone and wire that up into the charge port and add another friccin super antenna? XD
Miss ya, Kipkay.
This is going back a bit but may be handy, looking at some Bluetooth battery monitors that have fairly short range by default, might be handy to boost them up. I wonder if the device is likely to use more power though.
WAKE UP AMERICA!
Yeeeees!!! - the increased kitty range!! Lol
I've been needing to increase my cat range ever since i got him.
Think I'm going to use a full wave 10' whip antenna, damn, could get into the next county with that one.
I like how you include your cat in your videos!
your hacks are the best. I just increased my kitty range to 1 mile!
finally! I've been searching everywhere to find a way to increase the range of my cat
Well, This guy has a point about not being half a mile away from your TV. It would look like just 1 Pixel if you actually had that.
start your music on your phone that's charging home while you listen to it at school lol
oh kipkay you're a god of the tecnology!
were you able to achieve 2 way communication. Is the antenna gain on the receiver good enough to detect the low power of the phone Tx
Yay! Extended kitty range!!
Lol kitty rang.
pls whats the name of the new antenna
KipKay: Lifehack level?
OVER 9000
I have one of these bluetooth adaptors but the antenna is broke. I might try this one if I can find that antenna.
haha yay for increased kitty range :D
you know that ps3 is beast when kipkay plays it
Nice and easy. Thanks for sharing.
@TheKorashen
That's incorrect, but a common misunderstanding. The antenna is reciprocal, it's gain is used for both reception and transmission so the symmetry of the link is not affected. Adding another high gain antenna on the other side would of course further increase range. Basic radio transmission theory.
@doctorcatron True but the biggest factor especially for a transmit/receive system is antenna gain. If you just increase the power alone you will get out quite far but will not be able to receive anything from that same distance. Plus most Bluetooth devices are designed to operate on 5 volts DC as per the output of a USB hub on a computer.
awesome! i knew my kitty was lacking some range
@SonenBlomOf course, the antenna is mainly for WiFi. (but just for b/g/n standart, 802.11a is 5Ghz).
Tried the kitty hack, now my cat can hear the can-opener from 500 yards away!
XD
Increased kitty range.
Congrats on a million subs
Have to increase my kitty range!
0:41 So OFF WITH ITS HEAD! XD
Lol that TV remote thing was funny
lol, the ps3 controller can already get used through 3 walls and 2 stories, just tested it and I turned the PS3 on from about 70 feet away through all that
+The Brink of Destruction good for you, now just need x-ray eyes to see the TV that PS3 is connected to :P
Love the cat idea
I have been trying to figure out how to increase my kitty range! Thanks kipkay!
increased kitty range epic
funny you say that, I ordered a new dish network dvr, the "Hopper" which uses a 2.4 ghz remote. Kinda cool actually
I am pretty confident his laptop stands exactly near to him.
Can i use this to increase the bluetooth range from my phone to my smartwatch?
Antenna's are the reception unit, but since it says 2.4 ghz specifically, I was wondering if it was some sort of amplifier circuitry in it?
omg 3/4 of a mile! I was expecting across the street or something!
@kipkay what phone do you own ?
(haha that rhymes)
i thought he was serious until he said "increased kitty range"
Hey Kipkay, will this work with transmitters of other frequencies like the 433Mhz apc220 RF module?
Not a problem, glad I can help:)
So... where do you get one of these antennas?
The link just goes to a site showing this same video.
hey kip was wondering if you can increase the range on a usb Bluetooth audio adapter with the same antenna to be used on a portable ammo can speaker box
lawl "Increased Kitty Range!" *ding*
I extended my Wlan with a modified sat disc. Its amazing how far away you can be. The only problem, it has to be pointed at you and kind of high up otherwise it blocks the signal. My friend and i share internet this way. Hes about 3km away.
This is going to be handy one way or another
thank you so much for this! my kitty range is so much better now!
I really like your videos Kipkay
increased kitty range Yea Lol
you could use this in your spy tank thing.
Cool,now I can print far more.
Thanks.
Haha , extended kitty range
1:29 LOL , extend your kitty range
can you do a review on how to do this with household items and a very small bluetooth dongle please?
increased kitty range!
