Wow this was 6 years ago!!! 3D printing has come so far since then and I wish I could afford a printer to enjoy it and build things like this!!

Love the straw analogy. Makes the whole concept a lot easier to understand. Thank you!

I make my living as an Electrical Engineer, specializing in microwave radio systems, and I'm an amateur astronomer. I mention all of this because it's the only way I know to describe how crazy hungry I am for videos like this one, and how I gulp it down when I find one. This video is an absolute delight ! My hat is enthusiastically off to you guys. Now, please permit me some criticism that I hope you'll find constructive: Please give some more consideration to the question of what your finished video is to be. Is it to be a demonstration of what you did, how you did it, how much fun you had doing it, how gratifying your results were, and how the viewer can use some of your great innovative ideas ? Or is it to be an operetta, with some catchy tunes in the foreground and some occasionally intelligible murmuring in the background ? Why do radio commercials or KZread technical videos need music at all ? And if music will be used to set a mood, then please don't use 6 to 10dB more music than it takes to set the mood. The verbal description is the priority here. Until you can either dramatize the script with sufficient skill to make all the details stand out from the background, or else hire a professional voice to do it, please highlight the priority content, and put the background back in the background. Back off on the music. We want to hear everything you have to say.

I'm glad you liked the video :) As to the sound/music, the issue is that I mix the videos on a professional set of headphones and so it's really inconsistent how other people hear it. I can hear everything perfectly fine on my end, but on some sets of speakers it's much harder to hear. Because of that I've adjusted how I put the videos together and you'll notice that in new videos there's either no music, or it's much quieter.

I built three Dicke radiometers. The work at 3.7, 11.7 and 20.8 Ghz with less than 1 K noise using a 0.1 second integration. The radiometers are much more stable than the total power radiometers commonly used. I describe the construction, calibration and measurements in an 80 page report.

I clicked cause I love radio astronomy, but you got a instant subscription out of me because of the music. It’s pure 70’s technical video background music and it’s wonderful

Wow! Fantastic project! You combined a lot of simple ideas to create something spectacular. The introduction to radio astronomy was great too.

Wonderful project! Keep up the great work, guys!

I'm glad I found this video. I found this old piece of radio equipment and took some pics of it. This is helping explain it.

I hope you got a "A" on your project and were able to present at a prospective University Department you want to attend :). May I ask what are the best frequency range to observe supernova remnants, SNRs. I would be proud of your creation, share it with an Engineering Department-you will get a scholarship!

I love your channel, your work inspires me to do more complicated projects, and has fed my drive to fill my lab full of cool tools lol

This was great and something Ive had a hard time finding or that was to the point. I like the section where the satellites are shown in the day. Thanks.

I am glad i stumbled upon your channel!. Your content is soo amazing and unique!

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Great job! I'm building something similar originally for solar tracking the sun. I made some 3D printed worm drives that have a very high torque and need no holding current for the steppers. As a result, they have microradian accuracy which is way overkill for solar tracking, but it can also do astrophotography, satellite tracking and radio astronomy just by changing what is mounted on it.

Well, after years looking up on KZread for some crazy and nice DIY projects, after years of scrolling down "Hey guys today we are going to make X at home, to start you need these $50000 equipment." videos, finally I got a channel. First sub.

this is so awesome dudes, cant wait for more like it!

Video is pretty good and informative, good job on that, and gave the thumb up. Yes, I've read your comments about the background music, and I got it, still it was pretty destructive at certain points of your video. I would just drop it completely if hard to justify the proper level, your explanation is way more important than the music. Thanks and keep up the good work! 👍

awesome! you guys did some amazing work!

This was totally awesome, Subbed!

The science totally makes this video worthy of a like. The broken chair @ 10:55 persuaded me to give this video a second like so, I'll watch it under a second account for that.

😎 Awesome! Learned so much here! Thank you!

In terms of construction and and hardware?

i did not see building a radio telescope, this was building a mount for a radio telescope. a lot of info was lacking. how do you connect it to your computer , the software to use, decoding the frequencies from the dish etc. the video did not reflect the title. it looked cool when i first watched it and wanted to build my own. but now i watch it again , it just shows a complete radio telescope being mounted only.

By the way, as someone who does occasional carpentry, this is some Frankenstein-level shit with that wood frame, but it's brilliant for sure. Love the videos, keep it up!

really amazing guys ...bravoo...in real engineering world ...people would calculate and simulate the design before prototyping.

Love the music.

Lower the background music several db! As an amateur astronomer and an engineer now testing Electronic Warfare Systems both receivers and jammers, I like projects like this. I had Kraus's book "the big ear", and his book on radio astronomy.

This sounds like a great way for a two dimensional solar panel tracker, even with overcast. It would be immune from bird poop and leaves. It could be directly integrated into a plc or basic stamp controller and it is direct measurement, not inferred.

Now team up with people in the Philippines to do some interferometry!

This channel is so fking good omg
