    For those of you wondering, you can use metal instead of pencil lead. I've been experimenting with two paper clips as the connections and different materials as the free-floating part, and have found something that should be discussed. I first tried 3 paper clips stripped across the bridge, with 4 AA batteries hooked up to it in series. I could only hear loud bumps and buzzing. After experimenting and reducing to two AA batteries and only using 1 paper clip, I found that if I talked very quietly, I could hear what I said - but it was still bugging out my headphones. I then attempted a piece of aluminum foil folded accordion - style. It was so loud that it made loud bumps on my headphones and hurt my ears. The reason graphite doesn't do this is because, though it conducts electricity, it acts as a resistor; as in, it makes it much harder for electricity to flow through it. In conclusion, to use metal instead of graphite, you will either want to hook up a customized circuit to reduce the current, or, for those of you who can't, if you use a 1.5v AA battery with two paper clips as the connections and a paper clip across the middle for the actual microphone part, using a 200 ohm resistor (Or 220 ohm resistor) hooked up on the positive lead of the battery will bring the amps down to 7.5 amps, (or 6.8 amps) and will hopefully prevent your headphones or speaker from blowing out. SERIOUS NOTE: I am still new to calculating resistance, and this is all theory until I have a chance to actually get some resistors, so use headphones that you don't care whether or not they are destroyed, and DO NOT PLUG INTO AN ELECTRONIC unless you are ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT that it is safe, or else you may just ruin ports on your computer or other device. Hope this helps!

    Attach both sides of the battery to the "microphone" and you've got the basic structure of a railgun. It shouldn't be powerful enough to move anything, but crank up the power input by daisy chaining batteries and the smaller graphite piece will move down the line.

    I just finished making this project. Now, the sound works. But you can't hear voices or talking, anything like that. You can only hear static when you tap on the box or lead. The "lead" works with graphite, because nowadays you can't find real lead pencils. Anyways, this was a cool project that I enjoyed doing. Well worth it! Thanks Dave.

    I made a slight improvement of this experiment.
    Instead of using 3 pieces of graphite, I only used one.
    The two supports were solid core, bared copper wire.
    To stop the graphite from falling off, I put a tight loop in each of the wires, places the graphite through both loops, and then inserted into the box.

      @jonatan01i 8 років тому

      As I think, as the little grafite is jumping (vibrating) on top of the other two grafites, this makes the current flowing and stops it too. When it touches the two grafites then the current can flow, when it doesn't touches all the two grafites then there is no connection for the current to flow.
      And this current on/off vibration makes the speaker's membran vibrating (because of the speaker's coil's vibrating current->vibrating magnetic field->little peace of magnet or just steel is pulled-pushed), and that makes the air vibrating and that is what we can hear.

    • @mccrazy6021

    • @MarianKeller
      @MarianKeller 8 років тому +7

      +Mccrazy that is because of the DC bias in the signal. Just add a 100-1000 uF Capacitor in series with the headphones to AC couple them. Also please check the volume before putting the headphones on your ears, if it is too high, you can add a series resistor, or just put the central graphite piece further away from the leads.
