LED Gloves with Pressure Switch

I am making gloves to light up to reveal the numbers 1989 when held up by two people. The idea for this came from my friend and I discussing what to do for the Taylor Swift concert we are attending this Summer. Each glove has a different number on it corresponding with the way they…

Creative Switch: Indoor Night Umbrella

This is how my Indoor Night Umbrella works (reference diagram if necessary):  the negative terminal of the battery is connected to one of the stretches, which is linked to the rib where I have attached the negative leg of the LED.  In essence, the negative terminal of the 9v battery, which I used to power…

Creative switch project: Lite-up knuckles

My project consists of a row of L.E.D.’s on a chip board on my knuckles that light up when i make a fist. The L.E.D.’s are set up in a parallel circuit to ensure that each light receives enough power. The way it lights up is through connecting the two negative wires to complete the…

Creative Switch: Light Up Cup

I created a cup on which LEDs light up on the side corresponding to the liquid level inside the cup using a floating magnetic assembly and a series of reed switches.

Evil Pig – Creative Switch

The Evil Pig stuffed animal uses brass snaps on its feet to complete the circuit to light the LEDs. The LEDs are connected in series to each other with a resistor and are powered by a 9-volt battery that rests in the belly of the pig. The negative lead to the battery is connected to…

Creative Switch; Coffee Fidgets

When I first started on this project I wanted to do something with coffee cups. I realized that I have a habit of twisting my cap when I drink my coffee. With this I made a project that when I twist the cap in a certain position, it lights up the two LEDs at the…
