Create a Reaction Test Circuit with LED and Electric Shock Feature

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around creating a reaction test circuit that activates an LED after a random delay, with the slowest player receiving an electric shock. The user seeks advice on how to disable the slowest player's switch to prevent the fastest player from being shocked and inquires about appropriate current and voltage levels for the shock mechanism. Suggestions include using a relay and op-amps, with concerns raised about the ethics of using electric shocks as punishment. The thread was ultimately locked due to the controversial nature of the request for assistance with shocking participants. The community emphasizes the importance of safety and ethical considerations in such projects.

I am trying to make a reaction test circuit where a LED comes on at after a random amount of time and the slowest player gets and electric shock.

The switches they press turn on a relay to another circuit connected to the device which shocks them. I need to find a way to stop the slowest players switch working so the fastest player doesn’t get shocked.

I also need to know what current and voltage the electric shock should be. Some one told me that it ises a small current and a large voltage. The ones you can but in shops are mostly use 9V cells, but using a op amp would make it 13V-14V which probably wouldn't be high enough.

If anyone has any suggestions to either problems it would be very useful.

It is not a good idea to design something that will electrically shock an animal, person etc.. I suggest instead of using a pain to punish the slowest player, how about using a reward as incentive, such as piece of chocolate to the fastest player :-p
 
Well it was a reason to do something with amplifiers but I have solved the problems now. Chocolate can’t be given out by a circuit:smile:
 
Sounds like something I would have wanted to try in my younger days. (The building part, not the playing)

Sure it can. The circuit just needs to be more complex. :smile:

Sigh. You were doing okay until the "help me figure out how to shock people" part. That's not something you will get help with here on the PF.

Thread locked.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
