The Electric Gloves!
Aiden Richmond, Joey Linas
The concept of this switch is the idea of creating and carrying an electric charge with just the clap of your hands. We used two rubber gloves and taped tinfoil to each one. One positive charge from the Arduino is attached to once glove, and the other glove is attached to a positive charge from the breadboard circuit. The initial voltage (Vi) from the USB-C is 5v, while the forward voltage (Vf) is 2v. Following the equation, we determined we needed two 100 resistors on the breadboard in order for the switch to work properly. As shown in the picture, our Arduino is grounded by the breadboard itself. Once the 2 gloves touch, the red LED illuminates until contact is not made anymore.
