====== Cantenna ====== Extend Wi-Fi range with a Q&D/DIY antenna "dish" made out of used tin cans. Maybe provide/gain Internet access where/when service (ISP) isn't available/affordable? ===== Plan? ===== - Prior art: collect links, resources. - Research: does this really work? Countless prior art, YT videos, for years, but I've yet to find rigorous empirical evidence and explanations of why and how this should work, exactly. - Use TAMI's electronics (physics?) equipment (and members' expertise?) to measure, quantify, model… - Build lots and lots… Already got dozens of used tin cans, cleaned. Guessing need to buy receivers? Various USB-based, with tiny built-in antennas, might work? Oh, or maybe buy cheap kits in bulk? ===== Help ===== - Who knows microwave physics? - Who knows Wi-Fi dongles' capabilities, especially as signal strength(?) sensors?
