    The object of the exercise was to determine whether or not the coating inside the Pringles can is conductive.

    If it's conductive, the cantenna works as a waveguide, if it's not, then it works a different way.

    Of course, it's not conductive, so I wasted £1.24 & got slightly fatter just to find out.

    In other news, the inside of a Bird's Custard "tin" is conductive, and is a much better match with a diameter of 92mm to the wavelenth of 2.4GHz.

    Experiments continue.
    Maybe you could go a stage further, and use metallic spray-painted pringles themselves as mini antennae.

    But not all at once.

    Or I'd have ended up with turds the colour of daffodils.
    Paint cans also come in lots of different sizes. They'd do the job I bet.

    It's worth mentioning that you shouldn't eat those all at once either, for the very same reason.

    maybe if you throw in a vacuum cleaner tube into the mix
    And some man sized tissues and perhaps an old copy of Razzle.

    Did you eat a whole tin of Bird's Custard?
