An electronic device that can turn off by clapping is called a clap switch. It can control light appliances by users' clap action also. It was invented by Stevens, R Carlile, and E Dale Reamer in 1996. The main advantage of this circuit or device is that it is mainly helpful for a mobility-impaired person. The condenser mic is one of the main parts of the circuit that takes input clap sound based on the pitch of the clap. This article gives an overview of the clap switch. Electrical pulses are the desired input to the clap switch circuit.
Definition: A clap switch is an electronic circuit or device that controls electrical appliances like tube lights, energy savers, and LED bulbs,s, etc with user clapping action. It is mainly useful for a person who cannot move from one place to other for switching on or off electrical or electronic appliances. Clap switch circuits can be designed in a variety of ways nowadays electronics students are designing these circuits by using decade counter ic 4017.
This is a very simple circuit you can change its design according to your requirements.
The following are the advantages of clap switch
The following are the disadvantages of clap switch
The following are the applications of the clap switch
1). Who invented the clap switch?
The main fonder of this idea and the circuit was R Carlile, Stevens.
2). When it was invented
The first clap switch circuit was invented on Feb 1996
3). Name two main applications of Clap Switch?
The two main applications are
4). Is the Clapper a fire hazard?
No, the Clapper is not a fire hazard its saves
5). What is the main principle of a clap switch?
The clap switch converts sound energy into electrical pulses as input to the circuit and provides an output in order to control light appliances.
6). Can it work by all people claps
yes normaly it can operate by the claps of all persons but you can specify it's working like it will work with 2 or 3 claps or turned off by 2 or more than 2 claps.
