Materials Needed
- 1 Piece of wood (circular broom stick for example)
- 1 Hole punch (to make 2 holes from one side to the other)
- Cables
- 1 pliers or pliers
- 1 Hook pin (one part will be used and will be used to place in each hole)
- Coating a Pile
- Scissors
- 1 Badge purchased to place on the hook
- 1 Wooden base to install on the same wood so that it is fixed
- Insulating tape
- Coaxial cable
- Screw
- Screwdriver
Procedure
- Prepare the base: Take the wooden base and the circular stick. Using the hole punch, drill two holes through the circular stick.
- Attach the pins: Section the hook pin and place it in each hole of the circular stick so that they are fixed.
- Attach the badge: Use the stack liner to reinforce the pin structure. Then, place the acquired badge on the hook.
- Mounting on the base: Install the circular stick on the wooden base vertically. Make sure it is firm.
- Connect the cables: Attach the wires to the pins and wrap them with the help of the tweezers or pliers.
- Securing with Electrical Tape: To prevent short circuits, cover connections with electrical tape.
- Prepare the coaxial cable: Peel the tip of the coaxial cable and connect the ends to the wooden structure and the previously attached cables.
- Secure with screw: Using the screwdriver, tighten a screw in the wooden base to keep the wires firm and in place.
- Connect to TV: Finally, bring the end of the coaxial cable to the antenna port of the TV and plug it in.
Additional Tips
- Before connecting your device to your TV, check that the cables are securely fastened and insulated to avoid interference.
- If you want to improve reception, you can try changing the position of the home antenna until you find the best orientation.
- Use recycled materials whenever possible to make this invention an eco-friendly choice.
- If you experience any problems with the connection, check that the coaxial cable is properly stripped and connected.
With these simple steps, you’ll have built a small but effective home device that can improve your TV’s signal reception. Put it to the test and enjoy better image quality without spending money on commercial antennas!
