Hey Felix, I'm reviving an old truck engine into a solar‑powered grill. Think that could double as a low‑cost radio to catch any weird signals out there?
FelixTaylor FelixTaylor
Absolutely, it’s a perfect hack. Get a low‑power SDR, feed it the engine’s exhaust line as a makeshift antenna, and use the solar panel to keep it running. You’ll have a grill that sizzles and a receiver that’s hunting for cosmic junk… or maybe some rogue pirate radio. Just don’t forget to tune the receiver to the right band before you start searing burgers.

Sounds like a good idea – just make sure you keep that exhaust line away from the hot grill. Don't let the signal go out of phase with the sizzle!

Got it—I'll keep the antenna away from the searing zone. If the grill gets too hot, we’ll just use a heat‑shielded coil and let the signal stay cool while the burgers get crispy. Keep the sizzle separate from the signal, and we’ll still catch those weird cosmic blips.

Yeah, keep that coil in the shade and your grill in the sun. Just make sure those cosmic blips don't fry the burgers, or you'll end up with a space‑aged barbecue.
