Make a TV Antenna With a Potato

This guide will show you how to make a TV antenna with a fruit or vegetable and an aerial lead.

Steps

1. Purchase a fruit or vegetable. Oranges tend to last the longest and potatoes work well too.
2. Buy an aerial lead.
3. Attach the aerial to the fruit or vegetable(the pin inside the tip of the lead is the only part that should be pressed into the fruit or vegetable.)
4. Take a piece of electrical tape or similar and tape the lead onto the fruit or vegetable so it does not become dislodged.
5. Plug the other end of the aerial lead into the back of your television.

Tips

• You can also do this with your PC. Just buy an aerial adaptor and plug the aerial lead back into the adaptor.

Warnings

• This does not work in some cases and you have to move it around alot.

Things You'll Need

• Fruit or vegetable (an orange or potato)
