The Telephone - How It Works

  • Have you ever wondered how your voice can travel thousands of kilometres, instantaneously? The transmission of speech long predates Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone of 1876, as makeshift instruments such as pipes or cones were used to project a voice over greater distance. But the telephone as we know it was a more ambitious device; it sought connection across towns, continents and oceans.
    The Telephone - How It Works, General Post Office, National Communications Museum collection 8817.
    The National Communication Museum (NCM) is opening its doors on 21 September 2024. If you or anyone you know is in Melbourne, we’d love to see you there!

    The film respects the young viewer's intelligence and ability to focus on the subject. No need to "entertain" to maintain attention. From here the interested student will imagine questions for the teachers, etc. It might even begin a life-long interest in electronics.

    As old as this film is, it still explained the dynamics of the basic phone system quite well. It's actually the first one I have found to explain it in a way I can understand.

    Tho he’s explaining everything so clearly, so much more understanding than it would ever be explained now I still don’t understand how it’s possible for our voices travel in real time through wires and/or “the air”.

      Just using Alternating Current. alternating currents and magnets are real friends!
      They work together in order to make things work. Just think at an electromagnet, when you power it up it turns and gets on, make this many times in a second and you created a movement from a signal. Then as explained in the video, you can transform this signal into voice just with a diaphram! Or a bell ecc

      I asked my husband this last night. Even with the old phone we had in the 80’s I don’t understand it. How did my voice travel through wires across the states while many others were on it also? Or when he was in another country several years ago. How did my voice travel through my cell phone to him? I guess I’m just slow minded lol. 🤷🏻‍♀️

      Literally everything is electromagnetic energy/waves. The same way we see a red square, for example. because the electromagnetic waves bounce off of it in the exact pattern into our eyes in order to display a red square. Voice and radio waves go into our ears at the exact frequency/pattern to create what we hear. God gave us the electromagnetic spectrum and it is the basis for almost everything.

    This was well presented. I thought it was older than 1962. I got a flash back, when the film started, it reminded me of watching films at school and you heard that scrachy sound before the sound of the film started. It's been many decades since I have heard that.

      It's the sound of the needle hitting the vinyl record and audio gaps before speech of his voice is captured during recording. It's amazing how much of our world was analog before digitization took over. It's incredible that the majority of humans (myself included) have no idea how the technologies around us function.

    Brilliant video explaining sound waves and what was done to improve them using electricity. One thing I don’t understand is regarding the bell. If the bell is always connected to the line even when the line is not in use, wouldn’t it be consuming and wasting a lot of electricity? How does hanging up signal that the connection has been ended if the bell is still connected to the line? Wouldn’t that cause the system to think a connection is still there? Especially where this is all done over 2 wires? The same two wires used for bell ringing and speech.

    • @andrewhogan6628
      @andrewhogan6628 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Because the bell would only ring if you put DC current through the line. You can have a "connected" (closed) line (circuit) but not inject any current.

      your voice will vary the resistance of the microphone, creating an alternating current.

  • @KhedrAli-q4s
    @KhedrAli-q4s 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    why don't we just use the force of the sound waves to change the lenth of the wire so it will make different resistance depending on what we say.

    I had opportunity to see ancient 'step by step' switched telephone exchange in operation before its decommission. Lots of clicking & whirring, unlike modern digital exchanges which are exceptionally dull & boring by comparison. Man & dog exchange - dog prevents man from meddling with exchange equipment. Man is there only to feed the dog.
