home made transistor
Who told you this could be forbiden anywhere in this world???
:')
This is one of the greatest inventions of the century!
And this invention is for all of us. Noone could ever forbid it!!!! People can try to hide the information. And our obligation is to find it and make it open to everybody......
Unfortunatly it seems that the transistor can exist and work in small dimensions and using very pure semiconductor cristals. This could be a problem if one wants to make it at home. But I don't know if it would be true or just one more superstition in the field....
In this link there is some crude description of a home made transistor but using a cristal from a diode.....

I would be glad to have a copy of the book referenced in that page:
"Practical Transistors & transistor circuits" by J.S.Kendall"
It seems that it would also be possible to make a transistor at home using a galena (lead sulfide, PbS) as described in:

But I didn't find any other hint about it.....
Also, I didn't find anything related to the application of other semiconductors like copper oxide, copper sulfide (as proposed by the inventor of the first transistor Lilienfeld in 1928, first pattent issued according to last link), selenium, or any other material that could make it possible the fabrication of a transistor at home but for example would not be a viable method for industrial fabrication, etc, etc...
Other example, plastic transistors (polymers):

It also seems easy to make a tunnel diode at home as in the following link:

This is a useful homemade amplifying device. Using this device Oleg Losev could already make the first solid-state radio receivers in 1922 (as in the introduction of the book from Thomas Lee, "The design of CMOS radio frequency integrated circuits",pg. 20)
And that is what made me wonder if there is no method to make a better device, I say, a Transistor, at home.....
Anyone has more ideas????
There should be a way to make it, common!!!!
Cheers.
