Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying a suitable motion sensor device that can trigger a sound effect when activated. Participants explore various types of sensors and their potential applications, including small-scale solutions that could fit within a water bottle.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks a small motion sensor device that can trigger a sound effect when a projectile object activates it, expressing uncertainty about the terminology.
  • Another participant suggests using a light beam or mirror setup to trigger a buzzer, mentioning that more advanced options like laser motion detectors exist but may not be necessary.
  • A different participant reiterates the need for a compact device, similar to a garage door opener, that could fit in a water bottle.
  • One suggestion is to search online for "small motion sensor" to find potential products.
  • Another participant questions the intended use of the device, indicating that clarity on the application would aid in providing better suggestions.
  • A later reply proposes using electrodes around the neck of a bottle to detect water entering or leaving, suggesting an alternative approach to achieving the desired sound effect.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying ideas about the type of sensor needed and its application, with no consensus on a specific solution or terminology. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the best approach to meet the original request.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not established clear definitions for the types of sensors discussed, and there are unresolved assumptions about the specific requirements for the device.

Hi,

I need some help trying to identify something, I personally don't know the term for it, but someone here should

basically I'm looking for a motion sensor device, that all it has to do is have it be set off, and it would trigger a sound effect(computer chip or some sort, help me out sorry) it would be a projectile object that would set it off(about the size of a nickel) so this sensor is really small something you could put in your pocket.

Thats about as best I can describe what I'm looking for, hopefully someone here will be able to catch on to what I'm trying to look for

~~Thanks
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
light beam? mirror set up, break the beam to the mirror sound a buzzer
fancy motion detectors use lasers but no need to get that hi-teck

or a micro wave [radar ] like auto door openers use in stores

garage doors have the light beam set up to prevent a kid geting hit
or motion sensors from a crime light [maybe the cheapest]
 
yeah its basically the same idea as a garage door opener, except it would be really small, like it would fit in a water bottle, I just don't know what that would be called, or where to get them
 
Google "small motion sensor" and see what comes up.
 
what would yuou be doing with this anyway.
 
its just an idea that's being tossed around. But I need something that can be really cheap, it doesn't have to neccessarily a motion sensor, because the only ones I can find are over $50, the thing I need would fit in a water bottle, and would trigger when water went past it(to make a sound effect)
 
Say what you want to do, half-hints are just confusing. If you want to make a sound when water enters or leaves a bottle, electrodes around the neck might do. If you want to do something else, say what it is. It's hard to help without knowing what the problem is.
