I'm interested in making a tin can telephone kind of thing. A quick google search reveals standard materials will only give me about 15 feet max of range (which I had anticipated from the start). My crazy idea is to make something about 40 or 50 feet long that works, so it looks like I'll need to be innovative. The way I'm figuring it for now is to get the strongest fishing line I can find (lots of tension, and no internal friction), and experiment with that. I really have no idea what would work for the tin-can replacements (one website said paper cups, but those wouldn't be able to handle the tension in the fishing line).
So if anybody has any ideas on how to increase efficiency, or maybe a design trick to give me some extra length, I'd love some advice. Thanks
