Not very well, actually.A NDB is a radio transmitter (running in the band below AM broadcast) that sends its callsign in Morse Code. Its location and frequency are marked on nav charts. You plug the frequency into your plane's Automatic Direction Finder, and the needle on the ADF gauge points at the heading to the ADF. There are two ways to use this thing. If you want to fly from NDB to NDB you tune your ADF to the frequency of the NDB you want to go to, turn the plane till the needle is pointing straight ahead, and fly. If you want to navigate using multiple NDBs you get your navigator to tune in several NDBs, get the azimuths from them, and backplot from the NDB to your plane. Airplanes don't have this tech anymore; you can install VHF Omnidirectional Range or GPS navigation equipment in your plane for about the same price and the same panel space as installing ADF, and they work better.

The beacon gives minecraft players powers similer to potion effects for a radius. In order for it to work, you have to place the beacon on a pyramid of mineral blocks, the stronger the mineral, the stronger the effect (diamond blocks give the strongest effect), and the bigger the pyramid, the bigger the radius ( the max height is 5 before placing the beacon). You decide what power the beacon gives by left clicking.
