Unconventional Switch Team- 19

We chose to do two swords hooked up that once they touch each other turns on the LED. The blades are metal and so is the desk as shown in the video, but only the swords clashing turns on the led no other surface. 

It's a 5v power supply with a 100 ohm resistor with a red 3v LED light. We got one alligator on the breadboard and another next to the LED, these then lead to the clamps that are then firmly attached to the tip of each sword. Once they touch, the electricity conducts to the LED. The moment they stop touching it stops. 

As one can see we went for the aesthetic route. Who wouldn't want to see cool sword light effects? This can be used for entertainment such as a light show or a movie. This is because it can pick up and flash exactly when a blade clashes. And since it doesn't need that hard of a press, just a simple touch, its easy for performers to "fake" clashes.
