What would you introduce? Personally, I would build a spark gap transmitter. That was possible with Roman tech. The first pic is the transmitter. >Brass boiler with pipes, valves, and a flywheel >Generates mechanical rotational energy from steam >Drives the belt system via a crank >Large vertical rollers/drums with a rough hemp or linen belt running over them >Belt friction against the rollers or pads generates static electricity (triboelectric effect) >The bottom drum is connected mechanically to the steam engine flywheel >Tensioning rod/axle keeps belt tight >Positioned near the moving belt (small brass posts) >Collect static charge from the belt without touching it >Feed charge to the Leyden jar >Glass jar with a metal cap and rod >Stores the high-voltage static charge >Connected to a spark gap (two small posts where you see the blue arc) >Two brass posts next to the Leyden jar >Where the arc jumps when voltage is high enough >Arc is directed toward a metal antenna rod (or just floating if for demonstration) >Metal rod sticking out from spark gap >Radiates electromagnetic waves during the spark >Bundles of raw hemp or linen fibers >Used to make the belt and also likely for weaving/looms >Shows the dual-purpose of Roman tech: textile + electricity

So the telegraph key you flip like a switch and static will come out the layden jar?
