Tim Hunkin explains the history and mechanics of radio technology, recreating early experiments by Hertz and Marconi.
I've been in my workshop making things ever since, and the covid lockdown was the perfect time to make some new videos, trying to pass on some of what I've learnt. So if you're interested do try my new 'Secret Life of Components' These old films were remastered and upscaled by Norman Margolus from a 1987 PAL tape made directly from the 16mm print, using machine learning software from Topaz labs. Commentary added in Feb 2021. View all 18 episodes of the series and read about their background on my website: timhunkin.com/a243_Secret-Life-of-Machines-intro.htm The videos are also here @ youtube.com/c/timhunkin1What people say. Highly recommended for its clear, engaging, and practical explanations of radio and electronics history.
