Step 3Doctor, the paitent has a pulse...
Q: What do you do when a pig has a heart attack?
A: You call an hambulance!
We are in the hone stretch now. We have a working timer, and a working "thumper" for our heart. I took the working assembly and glued it to the inside of a Altoids tin. I then glued a small coil of wire on the top of the eye, making sure it would not hit the top of the tin when the eye extended.
At the last minute, I added a red LED to the circuit. I just connected it and the resistor to the positive and negative power-in. nothing fancy. Just as shown.
I drilled a small hole in the top of the tin directly over where the eye is. when the tin is closed, I drop a piece of wire through, when the eye jumps, it will push this wire (or "push rod")up and down.
I then made a small loop in the top of push rod so I can glue it to one end of the heart. I closed the cover, and cut a heart from paper. I glued the bottom tip of the heart to the top of the tin, then glued the loop on the wire to the top of the heart. Look at the pictures. you will get the idea.
I would post video.. but I can't find the charger for my camera. maybe at some point...
That's it.. Have fun. As usual, there will be a torrent of people who have more ideas. Bring it on! and lets see the pictures when your done.
