It appears, then, that a high voltage had to be applied to the stone to make it operate. As a battery was ineffective in doing The Swedish Stone Circuit this, yet a static generator was ideal, this leads one to conclude This new direction led to investigations that were based upon that a high-voltage, low-current source was required in the the principles of the crystal set, one of the earliest forms of radio _ process of priming. receiver. In these bygone radio sets, a piece of crystal, usually Most crystal sets have the ability to receive radio broadcasts galena (lead sulphide ore), was used to turn the RF energy into without the need of an external power source—unlike modern audio-frequency electrical currents; that is, they extracted the radio receivers which require a battery.
