===========================================

Assignment 1 - Super Conceptual Momentary Switch

===========================================

The idea here is to develop a vocabulary of switches.
Is it responsive?
Does it require human or dog interaction?
Does your switch have multiple outcomes?
Does your switch trigger a series of events or actions?
SCALE and CONTEXT of the switch!
Necessary to draw a diagram or a schematic.

When the fan is switched on, it disconnects the switch by blowing the aluminium foil apart which in turn switches off the fan. When the fan is switched off, the aluminium foil comes back and completes the circuits, thus making a loop within itself.
