Summary
| Description |
English: The tuned circuit of a marine spark gap transmitter, an obsolete radio transmitter used during the wireless telegraphy era, 1890-1920. This was from a German Telefunken Type D 1.5 kW ship wireless set, which could transmit on wavelengths of 600 - 200 meters (500 - 1500 kHz). It consists of a bank of Leyden jar capacitors (cylinders) connected to a spiral inductor of copper strip through a quenched spark gap (top). It was powered with an alternating current of 10-20 kilovolts from a high voltage transformer. Alterations to image: partially removed aliasing artfacts (crosshatched lines) introduced by scanning the halftone photo using Gimp FFT filter. . |
