Later on I got curious about the possibility to create a device that could be set in different places, so it would have the ability to be placed between objects, under, above, etc, allowing some flexibility in this respect, so the surrounding setting could be changed as needed. | Later on I got curious about the possibility to create a device that could be set in different places, so it would have the ability to be placed between objects, under, above, etc, allowing some flexibility in this respect, so the surrounding setting could be changed as needed. | ||
I came up with a "pressure switch" that would turn itself off whenever pressure was released, and on otherwise. A flexible structure that would return to its original shape seemed to be a good solution (thus facilitating the closing and opening of the circuit). I was able to achieve my goal by using a sponge, wires, cardboard, tape, and aluminum foil. | I came up with a "pressure switch" that would turn itself off whenever pressure was released, and on otherwise.
