Cable isn't shielded. It catch big ripple from outside.

So its not a charger that is converted, but its box! A bit disappointing, I had expected an active antenna with an in-line amplifier. After all the video title mentions the word "powerful" and the charger is indeed a power source. Turned out a clickbait.

Assembled neatly, making it looks easy to do. And the result is... good. Impressive.

So you tear apart a power supply only taking the plastic box? You could have used any old plastic or wood and got the same effect.

Well now it's clear Good antenna are pain in ass to build. Thanks for the clarification.

Will somebody please buy this man a new drill bit?

so measurements must not be too much of a deal because my laptop charger is much bigger, and all you're doing is using a box to hold the stuff.Also it cant be too powerful because you moved it and it cut out. Would it not be better to have the internal wires shielded in the box?

Have you tried just a piece of wire attached to the antenna in and see if it gets the channel also. Most the time this is the case and you don't need all this.

Wire in a plastic box. That’s it. But we don’t get to see behind the TV. And the TV has an integrated antenna anyway.

So you reused a plastic box to make a double set of bunny ears? Maybe include some signal gain comparisons to support your claim of "powerful". Maybe include something about intended frequencies. Though from looking at it - appears to be AF/FM and over the air TV type signal range. You did a neat job of the actual construction.

Creative video ,thanks :)

Great plot twist...throws out the electronic components and simply uses the containment box for the project!!!

this is exactly why dislikes shouldn't have been removed

I turned my laptop charger into a soap dish.

While interesting to watch, the same signal can be received with a single wire "coat hanger" or copper wire, and not waste the coax connectors, or breath in toxic plastic fumes.

Ok haters, now that I watched it to the end, which you should also, I see that he made a directional antenna. He doesn't mention that the length of those antennas are critical, and also that the metal lining of the case is critical, which is why he used a laptop charger case. I can't be sure without more information. Like exact dimensions of everything, but I would wager that he's getting at least 6 dB amplification from his directional antenna. Remember that we are now using digital signals, not analog, so the rules of the game have changed and the analog ghosting that would happen with this unit, is now an additive result, or multiplication? I'm rusty at this stuff. I've got a yaggi design in my head that's trying to be my dominant thought process that got triggered by his design.

This antenna will work in local areas don't expect it in fringe areas. An old UHF antenna works better and you can add vhf elements and maybe use rabbit ears rods which will help with low frequency channels. Goto the tv stations website for exact frequencies the channel number doesn't give you a frequency like in the old days. Most digital channels are on UHF. Some on high VHF and few on Low VHF. 73

It's also a ground when hooked to an outside antenna because of the grounding block. The only time it ain't grounded if the TV only has two lines to the plug and if you don't ground your outside antenna which I don't recommend. If the TV is grounded the antenna jack is grounded but still part of the antenna. Using a balun is the best way to match an antenna to the set.
