Wearable

We were given the challenge to find conductive fabrics to make it a wearable without using a switch. I found a 'matalic spiral ball'. It comes in two colours, silver (see image below) and copper. I chose silver because it will look nice if it has to be a wearable. In class, I have decided to make a braclet.
To make the braclet as an excerise;
Matalic spiral ball
3V Battery
Resister
LEDs
Grey Material
kneedle and thread
__________________________________________

When all is connected and put together, it will look like this.
__________________________________________

When the two conductor fabrics are connected with each other, without using a switch.

My next task to make the project is used with;
Buzzer
3V Battery
Flat knob tubes
Grey Material
kneedle and thread
_________________________________________

I've sewed the flat knob tubs long-wise so it gives it a more appealing look
and won't concentrate on the big bulking look.
_________________________________________

When all is sewed togther, I made it fit to my hand so it feels stable. The wrist band is
banded with the hook 'n loop fastener.
__________________________________________

With the 3V battery and the buzzer, I will use my exisiting material to hide away the bulky
look it has.
__________________________________________

The action taken place is when shaking hands with someone, the pressure from the
handshake with create the wires to touch. When it is touched, it will make a 'bzzz' sound.
__________________________________________

Inside hidden beneath the material are the wires. It is situated by the palm when the
pressure is given by the handshake.
__________________________________________

As of result, the effect works very well. When given the human contact of a handskake,
the buzzer goes 'bzzz'. Then someone will know, 'oh, a handshake just happened!'
__________________________________________

After sewing and hiding the parts, the end result looks like this. When skaking someone
or somebodes hand, it will make a 'bzzz' sound. Wearing is comfortable and does not
bother the skin.
