So I'm tearing apart stuff...
« on: March 24, 2007, 06:20:20 PM »

and I come across an old magnet my Ma gave me - its this police man that says "Stop! Stay away from the refrigirator!" and a little light flashes and its so corny. But when I open it, I find this little bugger of a device. It a small open metal cylinder that contains a loosely coiled copper wire that when it touches the side of the metal cylinder, it closes the circuit prompting the speech circuit -

any ideas where more can be found?

I think it'd be great to attach to a glitch or something so when the machine gets hit hard it screws the sound up momentarily

yeah, they are called vibration switches, or motion sensors.

just do a search on the components supplier of your choice  ;)
