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
 
Physics 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.
