Richard feynman burgular alarm
Richard feynman burgular alarm
I was reading autobiography of Richard feynmann the nobel prize winner in physics when he said
"About that time I invented a burglar alarm, which was a very simple - minded thing: it was just a big battery and a bell connected with some wire. When the door to my room opened, it pushed the wire against the battery and closed the circuit, and the bell would go off.
One night my mother and father came home from a night out and very, very quietly, so as not to disturb the child, opened the door to come into my room to take my earphones off. All of a sudden this tremendous bell went off with a helluva racket — BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG!!! I jumped out of bed yelling, “It worked! It worked!”
so i decided to make my burglar alarm!!

clothes clips
I used tinkercad for design
on/off switch
jumper wires
power supply
crocodile connectors
buzzer
egyptian pound
led

I designed the circuit as shown in picture that is very simple but my idea was to implement it a alarm so simplicity works this time
as used output component buzzer
i used 5v adapter as it's doing
and used a parallel connection between led and buzzer to indicate whether the device is working or not and added a switch to represent the setup i will make in a series connection with the buzzer.

connected the parts on a carboard piece like diagram in tinkercad
made a container of the components a simple box with one hole for the adapter and i double taped the Plastic Clothes Pegs to make sure it's in place
I wanted something that i can use to connect the circuit and doesn't miss anytime so i decided to use this Plastic Clothes Pegs and inserted 2 nails and 2 egyptian pounds to make it easy to separate with a paper and easy to connect the circuit
Overcoming Challenges
Overcoming Challenges
one of the most important lessons learned that i have to follow the guidelines to pass and don't double work
burning leds is one of my main characteristics in my job so in the simulation i started burning the led that eventually been saved by tinkercad by adding a resistor 220 ohm so please dont forget that

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
combining the crafting and circuit construction was one of my huge problems as i was someone who can make a circuit but not the body
this time i made it with a very simple cardboard from chips box and that's a skill i will treasure
