Let us know if you try! Helical antennas aren’t new, but this is an unusual construction. They are popular as satellite antennas because of their polarization characteristics among other things.
Invented by Ampex in 1956, helical scan was the only method that was fast enough to record video in real time. Using two-inch tape and running at 15 ips, the going rate for tape recorders of the ...
Helical gears are cylindrical gears whose teeth are not parallel to the axis of rotation. The teeth are angled and appear as a segment of a helix. Helical gears can transmit power between parallel or ...

If you want to reach a satellite in geosynchronous orbit it’ll take a little more effort, and this dual-feed helical “ice cream cone” antenna could really help. Until recently, the dream of ...
