CLAP SWITCH
INTRODUCTION

A clap switch is a device that uses claps made by a human to turn close a
external circuit connected on the device. It is composed of a low pass
filter to filter out most noise from the environment, a clock to continually
monitor if there is a clap in a given instant, a memory register to keep
track the state of the relay. And a relay that is connected to an external
AC circuit to control the switch built in that be controlled by energizing the
magnetic coil inside.

DEFINE
The problem is being old and disabled makes simple task
more demanding because its either too exhausting for the
elders or the task is too much difficult because of their
disability.
IDEATE
The clap switch can be used on wide array of AC
appliances. This is especially useful to the elderly and to
PWD that are able to clap. Clapping takes less effort and
energy than standing up putting the lights off therefore
making a a difficult task to a convenient one.
