Default Another Crystal Radio Variant

A 7" long, 2" diameter PVC pipe doubles as coil former and enclosure for this crystal radio. A couple of white plastic cosmetic jar covers serve as the end caps.

The coil is (280 + 40) turns of 30 SWG enamelled copper wire close-wound as shown. The PVC variable capacitor is mounted on one of the end caps.

More details at

Regards,

Nandu.

You can't beat a well wound coil for looks, nice one.

I came up with the idea many moons ago for AM transmitter testing.

Tuning capacitor at one end, headphone jack at the other.

Seems there really isn't anything new under the sun!
