Abstract
Most of the high street electronics shops (with one notable exception) have closed down, so one has to order components online. But, resistors, capacitors and inductors are fairly easy to make, from materials commonly found around the house. Active elements to provide gain, or rectification, are a little harder to build,., but are possible.
In this talk I'll show off home made capacitors, coils, resistors, and diodes, and describe my adventures in developing a radio receiver without using any commercial electronic components. I'll also try to describe the making of a negative resistance gain element.
