PROJECT: EARTHQUAKE DETECTOR ALARM & BUZZ WIRE GAME
Introduc on:
An earthquake detector alarm is a simple yet effec ve device
designed to alert individuals to seismic ac vity. This device
operates on the principle of circuit comple on, where the
normal state of the circuit is open, and it closes when subjected
to vibra ons caused by an earthquake. The key components of
this earthquake detector alarm include a buzzer, connector, 9V
ba ery, switch, and copper wire.
Components:
*Buzzer:
Fig: Buzzer
The buzzer is an electromechanical device that converts
electrical energy into sound. In this circuit, the buzzer will serve
as the audible alert mechanism, producing a loud noise when
the circuit is completed.

*Connector:
fig: Connector
The connector serves as the link between various components
in the circuit. It facilitates the connec on between the copper
wires, the buzzer, and other elements in the system.
*9V Ba ery:
Fig: Ba ery
The 9V ba ery provides the necessary electrical power to the
circuit. It serves as the energy source for the buzzer to produce
sound when the circuit is closed.

*Switch:
fig: Switch
The switch is a manually operated component that can open or
close the circuit. In this earthquake detector alarm, the switch is
used to control the flow of electricity. When the switch is
closed, the circuit is complete, allowing the buzzer to sound in
the event of an earthquake.
*Copper Wire:
Copper wire is u lized to create a simple circuit. The wire is
strategically placed to detect vibra ons caused by an
earthquake. When the wire is moved due to seismic ac vity, it
completes the circuit, triggering the buzzer.

Working model:
Fig: A earthquake alarm on a cardboard surface
In this project we have hang an object by a copper having
nega ve charge similarly in cliff we have connect with posi ve
charge which came from buzzer and the posi ve charge in
buzzer is came from switch and D.C. source. During trembling,
when the nega ve charged wire gets touched up with posi ve
charged cliff the buzzer got ac vated and produce sound which
helps to detect the trembling.
It is a very effec ve and simple way to detect and be aware
about the trembling of earth. The connec on for this is also not
that big deal to do.
PROJECT: EARTHQUAKE DETECTOR ALARM & BUZZ WIRE GAME
ADVANTAGES
1. It is a simple and cheaper way to detect the trembling of
earth.
2. With the help of buzzer and the flashing red alert everyone
will be alert about earthquake
3. If placed far away from a village or town making a big
viewable tower, it will give alert before the earthquake
reach the village or town.
For be er results the load must be suspended freely with the
help of thin wire between a small circular metal ring.
DISADVANTAGES
1. It also detects the small vibra ons which are not even
earthquakes
2. Wind may also cause the wire to wave and make noise if
not placed inside bounded wall.
3. Present mobile applica ons also gives alert before the
earthquake which makes it unnecessary
Working Principle:
PROJECT: EARTHQUAKE DETECTOR ALARM & BUZZ WIRE GAME
Open Circuit State:
In its normal state, the circuit is open. This means that there is a
gap in the circuit, and the flow of electricity is interrupted.
Vibra on Detec on:
Copper wire is strategically placed in a manner that it can
detect vibra ons. During an earthquake, the ground shakes,
causing the copper wire to move.
Circuit Comple on:
As the copper wire moves due to seismic ac vity, it comes into
contact with another part of the circuit, comple ng the
electrical connec on.
Switch Closure:
The switch is closed manually or automa cally (depending on
the design). Closing the switch completes the circuit, allowing
electricity to flow from the 9V ba ery to the buzzer.
Buzzer Ac va on:

With the circuit closed, the buzzer receives electrical
power and starts producing a loud sound, serving as an
audible alert to no fy individuals of the earthquake.
Conclusion:
The earthquake detector alarm based on the comple on of the
circuit is a simple and effec ve mechanism for aler ng people
to seismic ac vity. It demonstrates the basic principles of
circuitry and can be a valuable addi on to earthquake
preparedness measures.
Similarly, with the help of the same theory of comple on of
circuit a fun and enjoyable game called “Buzz wire game” was
made.
