Camera is crystal radio when placed on top of oscillator in broken tube radio?
I was attempting to record what the broken tube radio looked like on the inside with my camcorder, and something really cool happened, I heard radio transmissions very quietly on my camcorder that I didn't hear with my ears next to the broken radio.
So just like guitar amp acting as radio, loose solder connection inside cheap camcorder is acting as a rectifying junction and when it is placed on top of the oscillator, the oscillator doesn't even need any power and the oscillator still emits weak RF that is picked up by my camcorder and rectified?
Someone please tell me if I've gone off the deep end and should check in to a mental hospital for hearing voices if this is 100% nonsense.
