The three radio theremin was originally invented by Tomoya Yamamoto.[1] The theremin is constructed by tuning three separate radios to create a system that acts similar to a stand-alone theremin.[2] The circuitry in each individual radio is used to functionally modulate the sound out of the third, producing similar tonal qualities as a theremin.
The following process can be used to produce the same effect:
- Find three sets of amplitude modulated (AM) radios of superheterodyne receiver type
- Place set 3 radio between set 1 and set 2
- Set 1 and set 2 radios tuned to 1145 kHz and set 3 to 1600 kHz so that local oscillators of set 1 and 2 well received by set 3 radio
- Local oscillator of set 1 and 2 may produce beat sound in set 3
- Manipulate hand over set 1 antenna to change the frequency of beat sound
- Volume of beat sound reduced by covering set 3 radio with hand.
