The Unconventional Triangular Prism

 


Hello all! Today, I’m going to show you what I call “The Triangular Prism”. The prism is an object with two metal paper clips sticking out of it, both being connected to the breadboard. The power source for this is the Adafruit Playground Express, outputting 5 volts into the circuit. The device uses one resistor to light up a blue LED light, which takes up to 3 volts of electricity. The circuit on the prism is completed using a popsicle stick wrapped in aluminum foil and taped with copper tape. The initial idea was to have the prongs on the copper tape, but the design proved to be too small for that, and having the popsicle stick’s aluminum foil touching both of the paper clips works just as well.
