To keep the joke short.

Downloading a game through a mobile connected to a PC.
It shows 84kb/s when mobile at the wall shelf.
While growing to ~350kb when held in hand.
If you think that's the point, then no.

When I am raising my free hand it grows to ~500kb. That's funny.

More fun?

When I keep a large metal spoon up it grows.

When I hold a metal chandelier it grows.

Lights on (it's day) more.

Mobile on the turned-on chandelier? Nope. Just 120kb/s

It's YOU!

Hope you have the same results.

Would it vary by the amount of liquid and its mineral consentration in you?

Upon attempting to reproduce your experiment, I had ultimately found myself clinging to the edges of a skyscraper (with fantastic download speeds).

It can be concluded that the findings of your initial trials can be successfully recreated. However, the size of the data pool is currently much too small to confirm any significant relationship between the ability of the human body to act as an adjustable antenna and signal strength.

Perhaps, future participants might try parasailing while upside down? This may prove promising.

What? You noticed a modern phone got no real antenna anymore? Okay...
Still.... i will keep continuing using my fibre at home... saving me the unnecessary hassle of being "an antenna".

After I had my amalgam fillings replaced with ceramic ones, I no longer have cell phone reception. :(

Thank you All! You are all Antennas to me too 😄
and Cousin Eddie! and Experimenters! and Good Eggs! and Fibre Optics! and ZZ Top! and Parasailors! and Kraftwerk! and Scientists! and Doctors! You are GOG!

I just wonder how many bizarre experiments you have done with you download speed and random items and positions to achieve these results ;)

I have noticed when my tablet has a bad Wifi connection (at some parts of the day my fibre connection is horrible, namely when lots of people are probably watching TV (which happens to go (with a set-top box) through fibre nowadays mostly, Coax and copper are being phased out step by step, I can look at the schedule for EK Football matches to know when my connection will fail), I can improve the downloading of webpages by shaking my hand while holding the tablet. I didn't even make this up, it actually happened.

Dancing around the living room, raising limps one after another, building an extension from kitchen utensils. I don't know yet if more liquids in a body absorb electromagnetic waves or not, the qualities of hydrogen might boost it. I will drink Ionised water for further tests, yet another day might give another result due to all those appliances in a 20m radius and being at a party the day before xD Thanks for being curious.

It gives thoughts : D but! We all know how to improve GPS accuracy and signal by waving eights with the device in the air.
And.... Muscles work because electric current is sent by the brain to it to contract it and no current releases it.
While we shake a tablet (or waves eights) we produce more power, an antenna boost. Sound logical yet needs space for not to damage the device : ) Thanks for experimenting.
