Clap switch means…!!

 Clap switch is switch which can switch on/off any
electrical circuit by the sound of the clap
Principle….
Converts the sound signal into electrical
energy
Basic Idea on clap switch is
 Basic idea on clap switch is that the electric
microphone pick up the sound of your claps, coughs,
or any sound to switch ON/OFF the circuit
Components are..
 1.Resistors
 2.capacitors
 3.Battery
 4.Transistor
 5.Relay

Working
Audio amplifier
Sound signal is received by AUDIO AMPLIFIER .
Here the given sound signal is converted into
electrical signal and then amplified by using
transistors.
Flip flop circuit
It consists of two transistors, one for the on
position and the other for the off position.
For this reason it is also known as bi-stable multi
vibrator.
Circuit amplifier

The outcome of this circuit is Electrical signal.

This electrical signal is very weak so we have use
another transistor in this circuit.
ADVANTAGES
1. The primary application involves an elderly or
mobility-impaired person.
2. We can turn something (e.g. a lamp) on and off from
any location in the room (e.g.
while lying in the bed) simply by clapping our hands.
3. Low cost and reliable circuit.
4. Complete elimination of man power.
5. Energy efficient.
DISADVATAGES
1. It is generally cumbersome to have to clap one’s hands
to turn something on or off
and it is greatly seen as simpler for most use cases to
use a traditional light switch.
2. Unless we use a filter in the circuit , it is not that
advantageous. So that circuit
activates only for clap of particular frequencies and
then it becomes accurate.
