Unconventional Switch - Stapler

 Behold, the Stapler Switch!

Energized by a powerful 9 volt battery, This unconventional light switch lets you know when you're papers are stapled. Our original idea was to attach the alligator clips to both the hammer (positive) and the crimp area (ground). The stapler is conductive, but electrical tape was applied to the areas of contact to avoid clearance issues. 4 resistors were needed due to the power supply we used for the demonstration.


The switch is unique way of turning an LED on and off. Were this idea to be fully implemented, the wiring would be implemented within the stapler itself, to avoid any clearance issues that would could from external wiring.
