Clothespin Switch
A spring type clothespin is used to make a circuit closing switch to actuate explosive charges, mines, booby traps, and alarm systems.
Materials Required: - Spring Type Clothespin
-Solid Copper Wire 1/16" (2 mm) in diameter
-Strong String or Wire
-Flat Piece of Wood (Roughly 1/8" x 1" x 2")
-Knife
Procedure
1. Strip four inches (10 cm) of insulation from the ends of 2 solid copper wires. Scrape copper wire with knife until metal is shiny.
2. Wind one scraped wire tightly on one jaw of the clothespin, and the other wire on the other jaw.
3. Make a hole in one end of the flat piece of wood using a knife, heated nail, or drill. Tie strong string or wire through the hole.
4. Place flat peice of wood between jaws of the clothespin switch.
5. Complete circuit by attaching one wire to one terminal of a battery, and the other to the initiator. Then connect the initiator to the other terminal of the battery.
CAUTION: Do not attach the battery until the switch and trip wire have been emplaced and examined. Be sure that the flat piece of wood is seperating the jaws of the switch.

Oct 29, 2006 6:19 pm - but will the electricity going through the wire light the fuse if i wrap the one wire coming from the battery and the one wire coming from clothes pin around the fuse of the firework?

You cant just wrap the copper wire around the fuse, it was to got from copper wire to a high resistance wire, like nichrome, whcih gets extremely hot and then you can wrap it around the fuse. Then you could you connect two fuses, by over lapping the two fuses after cutting the open, so the two fuses will ingite each other.
