How to make a speaker out of paper
This method is suitable if you want to quickly improve the sound and at the same time surprise your friends with your knowledge of physics.
You will need:
- paper (square tear-off stickers work well);
- scissors;
- stapler;
- permanent magnet;
- aluminum tape.
The last two items cannot always be found in the house, but if desired, you can buy them at any hardware store.
Let's get started:
- We cut the metal tape into thin strips and glue it in a spiral onto the paper. The main thing is that the turns do not touch each other. We bring the two ends of the tape to the edge of the piece of paper.
- We attach the wires of the sound source to the metal ends of the tape, secure it on paper for reliability with a stapler. For better contact, it is better to strip the wires of insulation.
- We place our workpiece on a permanent magnet and turn on the music. Using such a homemade speaker you can make the sound very loud.With such interesting knowledge of acoustics, you will definitely become the star of the party for the whole evening.
How to make a speaker from a cardboard tube and cups
You can make a column from disposable cups and a cardboard tube in a few minutes. This method will be incredibly helpful, for example, when unexpectedly friends decided to arrange a surprise and came to your party. Or when, while cooking barbecue outdoors, the battery in the speaker suddenly died. All materials are very simple and the manufacturing process is intuitive. Thanks to the laws of physics, the music coming from your phone speaker will be much louder.
To make a column we will need:
- A toilet paper or paper towel roll. Agree, every home has this seemingly ordinary thing. And when you go to a barbecue, you always take one of the above with you.
- Two cups - plastic or cardboard. You can always find them at a noisy party. It doesn’t matter at all what the material and size are. But, if you wish, you can experiment with materials and choose the most suitable sound for yourself.
- Scissors, stationery or regular knife. The main thing is that the object is sharp enough to cut cardboard.
- A phone that will directly serve as a DJ console. You can choose the best option based on characteristics, or simply cast lots for who will be responsible for the music.
The process of work is extremely simple and clear.
- Make a hole in the middle of the cardboard tube. The phone will be placed in it directly with the speaker inside.
- Make holes in the cups and place them on the sides of the sleeve. They will act as speakers and amplify the sound, and will also give a more stable position to the tube with the phone.
The column is ready. Turn on some exciting music and have fun!
