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.
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
