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?
