Unconventional Switch: Pots and Pans

 Unconventional Switch: Pots and Pans


I decided to make one of the pots in my apartment into a light switch for this project. Although the idea may be a bit unsafe, it is possible to determine whether or not the pot is closed while over heat. In fact, it is possible to see whether the pan is open or closed when off of heat as well. The way the switch was built, the LED lights up once the pot and its lid connect, that way one can know if the pot is being covered or not. This can be useful when cooking at night or in a dark area. For example, when boiling pasta for a late night dinner, one can feel free to prepare a plate with the helpful light emitted from the switch.
