The capacitor from the base lead to ground is an AC short so the circuit is a common base amplifier where the input is the emitter. The tapped coil on the Hartley oscillator is fed back to the emitter (positive feedback) which causes the circuit to oscillate.
@@0033merimm be straight up and say i don’t think there is feedback at all. The lead from the coil to emitter is for FM offset. Best way i can describe it is imagining the tank as a bell and the transistor a hammer. We don’t need feedback because the voice modulation is already doing that work. Coming off the emitter is a finger that squeezes the bell as it gets louder, increasing the pitch of the bell. Sorry i just cant see it any other way. Even if that cap is an ac short, its on the wrong side of resistors i feel liek
When the phone goes off hook, loop current flows through the 220 ohm resistor creating a voltage drop which powers the transmitter and enables the phone set to work properly. Explanation starts at 3:00.
yes and also the feedback capacitor is in parallel with tank circuit. when we want find the resonant frequency capacitor should be added because they are now in parallel
They are so cute and refreshing after watching an idian guy solder a 9v battery, a resistor, a coiled antenna and a surface mount crystal and called it an FM transmitter and not one person called cap except me. Oh it had a mic too.
Yes .. your are correct, the circuit diagram shows a Hartley oscillator. The other transmitter with the insulated wire coil is a Colpitts oscillator which I original used in my diagram but changed when I made the video.

Nice explanation... If I still had a land line I'd build and try this one. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video thank you for the link to this one!
Very great video, thanks a lot !!
You are welcome!
can you use this circuit to make a wire cable tracer like fox and hound?
good presentation
What is the advantage of feedback to the emitter instead to the base of the transistor?
The capacitor from the base lead to ground is an AC short so the circuit is a common base amplifier where the input is the emitter. The tapped coil on the Hartley oscillator is fed back to the emitter (positive feedback) which causes the circuit to oscillate.

Love the circuit explanation. Would have been helpful with values and specs for the other parts of the circuit.
Have plans or schematic?
What is the function of 220 ohm resistor across bridge rectifier?
When the phone goes off hook, loop current flows through the 220 ohm resistor creating a voltage drop which powers the transmitter and enables the phone set to work properly. Explanation starts at 3:00.
here the capactiors act as a parallel? because Vcc acts as a short for AC signals
Yes... the RF signal sees the power supply as an AC short so the base to collector capacitance is actually across the tank circuit.
yes and also the feedback capacitor is in parallel with tank circuit. when we want find the resonant frequency capacitor should be added because they are now in parallel

Your circuit shows a Hartley oscillator (tapped inductance) and not a Colpitts oscillator (tapped capacitance.)
Yes .. your are correct, the circuit diagram shows a Hartley oscillator. The other transmitter with the insulated wire coil is a Colpitts oscillator which I original used in my diagram but changed when I made the video.
2N2222 FTW!!!
Is there any schematics in PDF or Eagle ? I saw it on the video.
Aluminium Soup "for the win". Because the 2N2222 transistor is my best and stable choice to do this job.

Where's the positive feedback, shouldn't it be connected to the base ?
The capacitor from the base lead to ground is an AC short so the circuit is a common base amplifier where the input is the emitter. The tapped coil on the Hartley oscillator is fed back to the emitter (positive feedback) which causes the circuit to oscillate.
Now i can tap my friend's phone ;).
hi...
. I would like really understand the use of each component in the circuit please
