 Introduction

This is a project on CLAP SWITCH which can switch on/off any electrical
circuit by the sound of a clap. The operation of the circuit is simple. If we
clap the lamp turns on and to switch it off clap again . The condenser
microphone picks up the sound of your claps, coughs, and the sound of that
book knocked off the table. It produces a small electrical signal which is
amplified by the succeeding transistor stage. Two transistors cross
connected as a bi-stable multi vibrator change state at each signal. One of
these transistors drives a heavier transistor which controls a lamp. This
circuit can switch on and off a light, a fan or a radio etc by the sound of a
clap.

This circuit is constructed using basic electronic components like resistors,

transistors, relay, transformer, capacitors. This circuit turns 8ON9 light for
the first clap. The light turns ON till the next clap. For the next clap the
light turns OFF. This circuit works with 12V voltage .Therefore a
step-down transformer 12V/300mA is employed. This working of this
circuit is based on amplifying nature of the transistor, switching nature
of transistor, relay as an electronic switch .Basically, this is a Sound
operated switch.

PRESENT SYSTEM: A Clap Switch circuit uses a microphone within the

circuit to detect noises to

turn the LED on. A clap switch circuit can be used in homes and businesses
to turn on

things such as: lights, TVs, or whatever it is set up to the clap switch. In
many cases

you can snap your fingers, clap your hands, or even speak to it. In fact, with
modern
 technology, you can use commands to activate a piece/pieces of technology
to allow

it to turn on/off from anywhere within the room of the Clap Switch.

Propose system:

Clap activated switch device will serve well in different phono-controlled

applications. Clap switch is generally used for a light, television, radio or
similar electronic device that the person will want to turn on/off from bed.
This circuit functions on using the sound energy provided by the clap which
is converted into electrical energy by condenser microphone. Using this
converted electrical energy the led glows out.

APPLICATION AND FUTURE

SCOPE

Clap activated switch device will

serve well in different phono-controlled

applications. Clap switch is generally used

for a light, television, radio or similar

electronic device that the person will want

to turn on/off from bed. The primary application involves elderly or physically

disabled person. The major advantage of a

clap switch is that you can turn something

(e.g., a lamp) on and off from any location

in the room (e.g., while lying in bed) simply

by clapping your hands.

Here we Have done a simple home-based

simple clap switch with commonly used

electrical components.

This circuit can be made further as more

accurate and more sensible. By increasing

the sensitivity, the amplification from the

circuit may be increased and used in some

modified circuits.
RESULTS :

We constructed the circuit as per circuit diagram and we verified the clap
switch circuit. i.e when sound occurs near by the circuit the led in the circuit .
CONCLUSION:

The clap activated switching device function properly by responding to both

hand claps at about three to four meter away and finger tap sound at very close
range, since both are low frequency sounds and produce the same pulse wave
features. The resulting device is realizable, has good reliability and it’s
relatively inexpensive. By using some modification it area of application can
be extended in various fields. It can be used to raised alarm in security system
with a noise ,and also used at the place where silence needed.

glows and then it turns OFF after some time.
