This large antennae is made of seawater!
Billed as world’s first seawater antenna, the SeaAerial – as it is called – fires a column of seawater into the air to create a conductive plume (a long vapour resembling a feather) that is capable of transmitting and receiving radioactive waves.

Japanese electronics and electrical equipment manufacturer Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has developed an innovative antenna system that uses seawater.
Billed as world’s first seawater antenna, the SeaAerial – as it is called – fires a column of seawater into the air to create a conductive plume (a long vapour resembling a feather) that is capable of transmitting and receiving radioactive waves.
Many radio installations usually require very large antennae and often companies spend huge amount of money to build them. It is not only time consuming but also difficult to move from one place to other.
The SeaAerial can be easily switched off the water and can be moved to another location without any major hassle.
The Japanese multinational has used an insulated nozzle to transmit the radio signal to the saltwater plume.
The nozzle carries a tube that separates the plume from the surrounding water and maintains the current flow.
