Trip-Mine From Call Of Duty

My design is basically about fireworks explosions right there and then. It's not about firing in the air, but yeah you can connect a firework launcher that fires a rocket or anything in the air as a signaling system.

CREDITS: CALL OF DUTY

HOW IT WORKS:

The moment a person crosses the sensor beam, the sensor sends the signal to the transistor or controller thus setting the electric igniter ON, which is connected to the firework or explosive(dont use explosive stuff).

As I said this circuit is for knowledge purposes only. I designed it for my own project but thought of writing about it for my students across the globe.

As I love Physics and Electronics, the best thing you can do in real life is to make a replica of the things you see from your childhood. One such thing that I see even today is a Tripmine from Call of Duty.
