Switches – Part 3

My final switch was very simple because I didn’t have a lot of time to work on it. I wanted it to be easy to use and still not breakable, so I came up with my design. I only used tinfoil and cardboard. I cut one piece of cardboard and put two different pieces of tinfoil on different sides not connecting. After I tested it. This process was fairly simple. I connected one side of the tinfoil to the negative wire and one side to the positive. Next I put the light in the breadboard and turned on the battery by flipping the switch. Finally the light turned on and I was done.

Switches – Part 1

For my next three blog posts I am going to be speaking about my three different switches. All of my switches are made with cardboard and tinfoil. My first switch was very simple but still works. This switch I thought of as a key going into a door. I thought of it this way because I hot glued four pieces of cardboard to make a box just without a roof or floor. And then I cut a slot in one of these pieces and put a popsicle stick through it. Now all I had to do was cover my popsicle stick and the opposite side of the slot with tinfoil and I was done.
