After reading - i dug out my box of bits and bobs and almost immediately pulled out a 555; my wife who was watching called me a weird nerd. My reply was every good boy scout should have one. This weekend, the kids and I shall construct our own version. Thanks for the inspiration. Hey cool article!

Basically you get some stiff wire and bend it into a challenging shape. I just used a wire coat hanger which I cut with some pliers and bent by hand. Then you wire it to some kind of noise maker such as a buzzer, electric bell or if you want to scare the hell out of your children, a car horn. When the loop touches the wire, it completes the electrical circuit and makes a noise. I took my kids down to a science museum in Wollongong recently and they had a real nice one which also included a stopwatch which would stop automatically if you touched the wire. That was a nice additional feature. I thought the article was fairly explanatory. Basically you get some stiff wire and bend it into a challenging shape.

Any halfway skilled handyman should be able to build one though, it is really easy. If it was for a restaurant, you'd probably want to make it much bigger with maybe a mechanical bell and flashing lights for dramatic effect. Sorry Rahim, I have not seen them available commercially.

Do you know where I can buy one from? I am sure if I really wanted one I can follow your instruction and make one for my self, but my need requires a little professional look(I am looking to place this in my restuarant -- as a promotional gimic for my customers) Thanks, rgilan01@yahoo.com gr8americanbagel@yahoo.com Hi,
