Can someone explain please?

Spinning it at 1575.42 Million RPS would create a 1575.42 MHz radio wave. That specific frequency is used by the GPS - so by doing this you'd be interfering with the reception of GPS signals, which is the illegal act you'd go to jail for here.

Thanks! TIL

Wow thanks. Amazing the things that are supposed to be common knowledge

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago

Definitely not common knowledge, I had to google to find out what that frequency was used for

The only people who would consider this common knowledge would be ham radio operators, who need to be licensed.

And even those people would probably just consider it common knowledge for people that are into ham radio.

This is electrical engineering deletion. HAMS don't know shit anyway.

I recognize all those words are English, and yet I have no idea what you’re trying to say

Says who?

It wouldn't actually generate any useable electric fields without a coil of wire. Then you'd have a shitty magneto.

Thank you so much!

I am going to assume this is an amendment to the original law. Because GPS didn't exist in 1934.

No it was there from the beginning, they were people of great forethought you see
