Improbable Switch | Improbable Switch | ||
In this assignment I experimented with different possible switches. Initially I tested multiple conductive materials that would allow me to create an improbable switch. My first approach was a key that would trigger sound and light when inserted into a lock. After tests and fixes... It worked!!! :) | |||
Later on I got curious about the possibility to created a device that could be placed in different locations, so it had the ability to be placed between objects, under, above, etc, allowing some flexibility in this respect. | |||
I came up with a "pressure switch" that would turn itself off whenever pressure was released, and on otherwise. A sponge was the best possibility I found to accomplish this, given that it would always tend to go back to its original shape, facilitating to close and open the circuit when pressure was applied. | |||
