THE MiLLiBUG! ---------------------------------by Posca!---------------------------------- The Millibug is the cheapest, smallest and has a 14 inch long thing that provides the range to be almost a kilometre! It is powered by a 9 volt Nickel battery and heres what you will require to build this nice Bug! <a> 370 resistor surface mount <b> 22k resistor surface mount <c> 100k resistor surface mount <d> 120k resistor surface mount <e> 990k resistor surface mount <f> 5p6 ceramic compacitor <g> 47p ceramic compacitor <h> 1n ceramic compacitor <i> 33n ceramic compacitor x2 <j> 150n mono block <k> bc647 transistor x2 <l> 5 turn coil .5mm enamelled wire <m> 1 microphone <n> 14 inch antenna wire assemble all components on a veroboard as shown on the diagram below..

You must use a very low heat soldering gun (15-30 watts) for these resistors as if the resistors heat up too much you would ruin them. All these components should be able to fit in a 3cm x 4cm veroboard. Once everything is put together make sure the coil is fairly spaced out with a very small gap between each turn. The coil is where the magnetic flux occurs and this determines the frequency to emit. You should be able to pick up the millibug on a FM radio at about 88Mhz, if not play around with the coil just by shifting it a little bit and it should pick up on this frequency. Once you got the bug going, put it in some ones bathroom and you can tune in the radio and record someone having a crap!?!@#! :) Ed: Hahah, i wouldnt put it in a bathroom myself.. rather stick it near the victims phone or under their dinner table! =] hehe
