Broadcasting the NES over the air by playing with power.
The RF adapter from old consoles like the NES is actually broadcasting an analog radio signal just like your local TV station did, except over a wire.
Cathode Ray Dude tried boosting that signal with an amplifier (while adding that this may be illegal) and found it produced just as good an image as the composite ports on the side of the US version of the NES.
The amplification takes place about 13 minutes in, but the whole thing is well worth a watch if you’ve never seen it.
