What is clap switch?

A clap switch is an electronic device that can be turned off and on by clapping the hands. This type of switch is commonly used in lighting.


How do you switch on a light bulb by clapping?

You have to install a device known as a "clapper" into your receptacle outlet. Plug your lamp into this device. It is sound activated. When you clap your hands the device senses the frequency of the clap and activated its internal circuitry. This closes a relay that supplies voltage to the lamp and it turns on.


Who invented the clap on and off light switch circuit?

The clap-on light was invented by my great-great-grandmother, Florence Scott. Her invention was sent in to be patented and was stolen in the process. She could not afford an attorney, which is why the theif who became a millionaire never patented the idea.


What is a clap switch circuit?

A circuited switch, which operates with sound of clapping hands or something similar; ie. the switch comes to 'on' position when clapped once or twice, and to 'off' position when again clapped once or twice (depends on circuit design)


Function of integrated circuit 7812 in clap switch?

The 7812 is a 12v DC regulator that takes an input volt up to 44v and outputs 12v ( i believe there can be a 32v between the input and the output so 12+32=44 but check the data sheet). So to answer your question the 7812 is a voltage source that more than likely powers the rest of the circuitry in the clap switch, such as the relay, amp for microphone and any other devices.

What are the advantages disadvantages and applications of a clap switch?

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. The major disadvantage is that it's generally cumbersome to have to clap one's hands to turn something on or off and it's generally seen as simpler for most use cases to use a traditional light switch. The primary application involves an elderly or mobility-impaired person. A 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.


How clap switch work?

The clap switch works with the use of an impulse response of a transfer function. It makes use of a sound analyzer input and interface with a digital signal processor and FFTs.
