The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio’s sensitive antennas pick up on the RF emanations of the computer screen. The crystal circuit delivers an audio signal to the computer, where the software Audio Hijack Pro increases gain and alters the pitch in real time.

This screensaver example shows a journey across Hyperspace and back through Wormholes. All sounds are generated in real-time by the radio and software.

Beta Blocker radios are designed as a meditational aid and normally do not produce sound. They contain a crystal radio circuit with a germanium diode and few other parts. The radio as it comes from Mr Gold is pre-tuned to assist certain brain frequencies, and is not meant to be hacked…

However, I soldered in an audio connector and ran it to my computer. I used real-time DSP (Digital Signal Processing) with Audio Hijack to produce the sounds you hear continuously in real time, without post-processing. The AuPitch control was used to produce the Worm-Hole Transporter effects in real time.

The pitch seems to control the apparent “altitude’ felt by a listener. Higher pitch seems “up”. Lower pitch seems “down”. Constant pitch yields a steady altitude, whether higher or lower.

More importantly, an upward CHANGE of pitch seems to produce the sensation of acceleration. (a downward pitch change produces somewhat dizzying deceleration!)

This sensing of acceleration is an indicator that one is moving from “one” location to “another” location, which is part of the fun of exploring Parallel Worlds!

This simple device shows abilities such as: detecting lightning, making voice phenomena, interacting with all forms of light, creating music and sound effects, reading a computer screen, acting as a mike, and detecting RF pulses.

The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio is plugged directly into the iMac computer sound-in port. Audio Hijack Pro software provides the gain and real time sound effects based on the radio’s input.

The radio’s antennas are inspired by Tesla’s high voltage examples, and its basic LC circuit is similar to Tesla’s original inductor and capacitor circuit schematics.

The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio recently won the monthly Gadget Freak award by Design News, the world’s best engineering news magazine. See it here:
