Okay, so today I decided to mess around with this “emanator of cans” thing. It sounded kinda weird, but also kinda cool, you know?
First, I gathered my materials. This involved a trip to the grocery store. I grabbed a bunch of different canned goods – beans, corn, soup, even some of those little Vienna sausages. I figured variety was key here. I also picked up some strong magnets, some wire, and a few other bits and bobs from my junk drawer.
The Build
- I started by arranging the cans in a circle on my workbench. No real pattern, just whatever felt right.
- Then, I took the magnets and stuck them to the cans. Some on the top, some on the bottom, some on the sides – again, just going with the flow.
- Next, I wrapped the wire around the whole setup. I made sure it was touching most of the magnets, creating a kind of…circuit? I’m not really an electrician, so I was just winging it.
- I connected the wire to the battery.
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much. But then… something weird started happening. The cans began to vibrate, just a little at first. Then, they started to hum. It was a low, resonant hum, like a bunch of bees trapped in a metal box. Kinda creepy, but also kinda awesome.
I let it run for a while, and the humming got louder. The cans were vibrating more intensely now. I could feel the energy in the air, like static electricity. I even thought I saw a faint glow around the whole setup, but maybe that was just my imagination.
After about an hour, I decided to turn it off. The humming stopped, and the cans went still. I don’t know what I created, exactly. An “emanator of cans”? Sure, why not. It was a fun little experiment, even if it didn’t make a whole lot of sense.
Might try it again tomorrow with different cans. Tuna, maybe?
