\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Basically a diode allows current to conduct in one direction.\u00a0 The radio was very simple.\u00a0 \u00a0Unlike the modern radio, the &#8220;foxhole&#8221; radio consisted of the point contact diode, a coil, and a &#8220;cat whisker&#8221;.\u00a0 \u00a0 They would move the catwhisker across the coil to find radio stations.\u00a0 Generally, they made the coil from enamel coated wire.\u00a0 They would find this enamel coated wire in old transformers and motors.\u00a0 Furthermore, because the wire was insulated by enamel, there was also <a href=\"https:\/\/bryceautomation.com\/index.php\/2017\/11\/02\/calculating-capacitance\/\">capacitance<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0The inductance of the coil together with it&#8217;s capacitance formed a resonant circuit.\u00a0 \u00a0We require resonance for the circuit to work.<\/p>\n<h2>Building the diode<\/h2>\n<p>With this in mind, I&#8217;m currently working on getting the diode to work, and I will continue to update this post.\u00a0 I will share with you what I&#8217;ve done so far.<\/p>\n<p>First, we need some parts.\u00a0 \u00a0We will gather a safety pin, a razor blade, a pencil, and some thumbtacks.\u00a0 In theory this is all we need for the diode portion of the circuit.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1476 size-medium lazyload\"

pencil lead.\u00a0 The pencil lead is made of graphite.\u00a0 We require graphite at the oxide junction for the diode to function properly.\u00a0 \u00a0This is then attached to the safety pin.\u00a0 In this case, I&#8217;ve also soldered wires onto the safety pin and to the razor blade for stability.\u00a0 \u00a0Remember, soldiers in the field might not have had access to solder, so part of their challenge was to keep the circuit together!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1478 lazyload\"

\u00a0We need to move the pencil lead around to different parts of the blade to find a spot with just the right amount of oxidation so it will conduct electricity in one direction, but not in the other.<\/p>\n<p>Attempts to test this diode immediately after heating the razor blade had mixed results.\u00a0 \u00a0 I will keep you updated in this post.\u00a0 \u00a0I will give the blade a few days for more oxidation to form, and run the test again.\u00a0 \u00a0Hopefully the results will be positive, and repeatable!<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Ricky Bryce<\/p>\n<div id=\"bryce-1598404534\"
