Abstract

Tetraplegia, also known as quadriplegia is a paralysis caused by diseases or injuries that cause people to lose their part or all of their body movements. Quadriplegic patients usually could not make any movement where they need 24 hours of observation and I 00% supported by common people to meet their needs. Nowadays, the use of electrical switches and equipments in home are difficult to conduct by quadriplegic patients due to their limited mobility. Basically, the switch is often installed in finished walls and it can only be turned on or off manually. Similarly, for other electrical appliances, it requires the use of the manual application to turn on or off of the equipment. As such, this project is done by creating a mechanism of trigger switch with is low cost and user-friendly for quadriplegic patients. By using the trigger switch, the quadriplegic patients just have to blow in the tube provided. Through the energy changes that occur from potential energy to electrical energy, the triggering switch will turn on electrical appliances that connected to it. Thus, with the trigger switch, the quadriplegia patients have no longer need to ask anyone's help to turn the switch because it does not require any movement of the hands and feet. Armed with only the energy of the blast, an electrical device can be activated by a trigger switch that is produced in this project.
