- Please bear with me, as the construction of this box will seem rather
- silly. This box was found in a construction site. Or rather, it found
- us at a construction site. We were using a $5 Radio Shack phone out of
- a semi-completed office building. One afternoon during a holiday, and
- immediately following a storm, we found our bus in shambles. To our
- suprise, we also found that one of the phone connections we were tapping
- had been draped through a murky puddle. The fact that suprised us even
- more was that this line still worked and now posessed some great
- capibilities.
-
-
- Materials:
-
- 2 tupperware or similar 8oz contianers
- 1 small bag earth (dirt) (12oz)
- 1 pint water
- 2 lantern batteries
- 1 nine volt battery
- 1 battery clip
- 2 SPST switches
- 4 ounces of iron shavings
- 2 polar magnets
- 5 feet wire
- 1 set soldering equipment
-
-
- This is the part you won't believe. Take the tupperware containers, and
- fill them with a mixture of the earth and the iron shavings. Make sure
- that the mixture is well done. (*NOTE* for best results, use the sand in
- fine ash trays.) Cut the cut the red and green wires and splice the
- switches into them. From the switches, solder wire to the magnets.
- Connect the red to the + (positive) side of one magnet, and the green to
- the - (negative) side of the second magnet. From the other poles of the
- magnet, solder wires the battery & clip. Make sure the + (positive) and
- - (negative) are correct. Set the nine-volt battery between the two
- tupperware containers and place the battery end of the two magnets into
- the tupperware. Now connect wire to the two poles of the lantern
- battery, and place them in the same containers as the poles of the
- magnets/9-volt battery. You are almost done. Finally, add just enough
- water to the two pots, and let them sit in the sun and bake like bricks.
- at this point, you have a MAUVE BOX.
-
-
-
- Explaning and Using What You Have:
-
- The red and green wires have been places into a magnetic field which is
- being charged continually be a lantern battery. (It is necessary to
- change this battery every one to one and a half months.) This will
- literaly pull in the nearest phone conversatiion. (Don't try this in a
- big apartment or dorm.) When the 9-volt battery is connected, this will
- now create enough current for the poles of the magnets to reverse
- themselves (perhaps you're seen Mr. Wizard do this. It's just like with
- the soap). At this point, you have a phone transmitting to one (if not
- more) of the nearest phones. (Again, if you're in a dorm, don't try
- this.) I suppose this just accomplishes what a tap would do, but with a
- MAUVE BOX, your fingerprints never will show on a terminal or on
- someones telephone lines.
-
-
- Notes and Addendum:
-
- This will only work with a touch-tone phone connected to a phone line.
- When the switches are pulled, it's off your line and into the air. This
- is named a MAUVE BOX, becuase this is the most disgusting box, and I find
- mauve to be the single most disgusting colour I know of. Also, this file
- is for information purposes only. This is not to be used in an illegal
- mannar. Perhaps one of these by the pool, sending to your sethe co-author,
- accept no
- responsibility for your actions with the MAUVE BOX. Thank you...
