And yes the radio works
with the ground and antenna connections reversed. The diode is a piece
of galena.

Does "it works exactly the same"?
S*

yes

I haven't read all the thread.

I always see the diode in series between the antenna and the headphones.

Like he http://scitoys.com/scitoys/scitoys/r...ade_radio.html


You will get a much louder audio signal if you connect a germanium diode
( 1N34 ) in parallel with the phones.

Is the direction of the diode important?

No.

How many times do you have to be told that before it sinks in?



There is an alternate electric field between the antenna and earth.

Electrons will move down through the earphones and up through the diode.

If in parallel. And what will be in series?

"I put up a 200 foot antenna between two trees over my house, and tuned to a
50,000 watt station about 30 miles away, and now I get 175 microamps of
current through my meter."

It is almost nothing but more than zero.

You should put the meter in series with the diode or the earphone, not
in series with the antenna or the earth.

In the diode and in the earphones you have direct current that the meter
will measure, in the connection to the antenna and the earth, you have
radio frequencies that the meter will not measure correctly.

don't take him seriously... he has a very warped idea of how
electromagnetic waves work. i just keep him talking to see what funny
ideas come out next.

Stokes drift and Tesla's electric waves are reality.

Heaviside's compilations (TEM) are funny.

And yet they have nothing to do with EM waves.

Sorry, I forgot. You don't believe in EM waves.
