• A dipole antenna receives and detects radiation from a transmitter/generator, which also has a dipole.
  

• A 6.3V, .15A screw mount flashlight bulb connected to the dipole antenna is the detector.

• Demo Staff: The dipole receiver's antennae each need to be 87 cm long before installing them into the bulb apparatus.

  Caution!: High voltages and naked uninsulated wires. Do not touch the transmitter. Disconnect the power immediately after use.
