This means the binder clips were opened wider. It was also narrower than the cd case so the two rows were closer together. Lastly, I had a strip of aluminum foil under each front edge (paralleling the paperclips but inside the clip) and now I have the small paperclip setup like in the video. No idea which of these differences would make a difference, hopefully all of them since the first attempt yielded zero results.<\/p>\n<p>Update: It didn&#8217;t work at my parent&#8217;s house, which is 30+ miles from the stations, so I gave it to my sister for Christmas and it does work at her house in the city.<br \/>\nConclusion: success<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tim and Co. had made one of these so I resolved to as well.
