 What is earthquake detector ?

 ” Earthquake detector or a earthquake alarm is a device that sense earthquake and alerts
people. So, that they can move for safety. ”
 . Some of materials needed for making this alarm experiment are :

 9 volt battery is used as a main power supply for this science project. If you do not have 9 volt
cell then you can use either 1.5 volt battery or an adapter.
 Three small metal nuts are used as a weight. Some other materials can also be used such as
stone or metal ball or marbles.
 Buzzer is main component of our science project. Buzzer can be purchased at electrical store.
 Electronic component are led,1 kilo ohm resistor a switch and a wire connector that has hole.
 Some of other basic materials are also needed such as hot melting glue, color paper, diy knife,
metal scale, etc.

 How To Make Earthquake Detector -----

 First of all cut all the the cardboard . For this we have used a diy mat, a metal scale and X-ACTO
knife. I suggest you to handle this device properly other wise it may cut our body part.
 After the cardboard is ready as above given measurements we have glued color paper for better
look.
 With the help of hot melting glue we have glued the base of earthquake detector. You can make
other design of base also.
 As base is ready now make two towers. We make a small hole at the higher tower. Where we
pass naked wire. At the end of this wire we have fixed small metal nut. This makes wire
vertically inclined. At the middle of this wire we put a hook having circular space at the middle.
(Note when the wire touches thist is completed that cause ringing of buzzer and light will glow
concurrently.)
 We fixed a 9 volt batter one end of base which is connects to battery connector. One end of
battery connector is connected to higher tower. and next is connected to switch, buzzer, led and
finally to the hook.
 Now when the switch is on and if wire touches the round hook then circuit is completed and
buzzer is ring with glowing of led.
 Note , led and buzzer are a diode. Which means that they pass current in only one direction.)
We have to take in mind that current must be flow as rated or indexed.

 Earthquake Alarm _-------:

 Earthquake Detector Project Explanation :

 Earthquake :
 Earthquake is a natural disaster in which earth shakes. This cause mass destruction as its
magnitude. Earthquake is measured via special typed of device known as seismograph.

 Causes of Earthquake :
 There are four types of earthquake according to its formation. Some time tectonic plates inside
earth are displaced that occurs vacuum due to which some part of earth falls that cause earth
quake. When there is volcanic eruption that brings shaking of earth. Some time collapsing of
two different big bodies also causes quack. Now a day we have developed different big
explosives like nuclear bomb. The explosion of such explosive may also introduce earthquake.

 Effects of earthquake :
 When earthquake occurs then normally this brings many natural calamities. When this comes
near human settlement then this may take humans life. There are lots of human loses due to
earthquake. Some time it may introduce other disaster such as landslide, tsunami that may also
disrupt human life.
 Earthquake Alarm :
 As we have read many disadvantages of earthquake. Some time people can’t feel it. So let us
learn how to make earthquake alarm. This detector helps to alert us from earthquake sot that
we can make plan for future. Many time this alarm can be life saver too. With simple materials
and science concept we can easily make this cool alarm. This earthquake detector also can be
great science project that can be demonstrated at science fairs.

 Advantages of Earthquake detector Project

 Earthquake Alarm Project

 With the help of this device we can find our that earth has sake. Now we can go in safe place.

 Earthquake detector helps us to get knowledge about different devices such as led and buzzer.
How they can be operated and handle.
 Care fully handle the diy knife. If not it may break and cut your body.

 Earthquake alarm can be made in a simple box. We can also use a arduino based project also.
After using arduino we can send some digital messages too to other people
