    The document proposes a clap switch project by two students, Abdullah Atif and Yaruk Khan, at COMSATS University Islamabad. The clap switch would allow users to turn electrical appliances and circuits on and off with a clap. It discusses the history and prior uses of clap switches, including by Bill Gates. The project aims to make the technology more widespread to ease burdened lives. Benefits include reducing plastic waste from switches and assisting disabled people. The students plan to use a 4017 IC, relay, resistors, microphone, and PCB board to connect the circuit according to a diagram for clap detection and switching.

    Proposed Project
    CLAP SWITCH

    Course: EEE-241 Digital Logic Design
    1. Background

    The idea of our project comes from an effort to make human life easier by any methods
    possible. There has been some work related to our project done before and this technology by
    which you can control electrical appliances by just clapping is being used in many countries.

     History:

    This idea was first introduced by Joseph Pedott, founder of Joseph Enterprises, Inc. who
    worked on it to make the first ‘Clapper’ in 1985.

     Bill Gates:

    Many of the world’s most rich people including Bill Gates (one of his houses took seven
    years and $62 million to build, in which he used high tech devices and technology and clap
    switch is one of them.) have had their houses’ appliances converted to this technology.

    2. Scope

    The main purpose of our project is to make this idea become global so that people can have
    some relief from this fast paced and exhausted life that is today. Our project can provide much
    assistance to many people as by this project, we can turn the electrical circuits and appliances
    (lights etc) ‘on’ or ‘off’ by just using a clap.

    3. Importance of Project

    This project is of utmost importance in our point of view as it has many large scale uses and
    advantages.

     Reduces the Use of Plastic:

    First and foremost, our project provides an alternative to the switch boards that destroy
    the beauty of our walls in homes, offices and many other platforms. It will greatly reduce the use
    of plastic which is used to make these switch boards and switches because we all know how plastic
    is destroying our environment and how much we need to minimize its use in our lives.

     Makes life better:

    Secondly, as we have discussed before, this technology makes our busy and fatigued life
    much easier because we all have faced situations when we are tired so much that getting out
    of our beds just to turn off a switch seems like a huge problem. It will also provides
    assistance to the crippled people for example they would not have to call for someone just
    to tell them to turn a switch in their room.
     Future of Clap Switch:

    If we have enough funds, we can apply our projects idea to large scale by using larger relay
    circuits to control many, heavier circuits like in factories or controlling multiple appliances at
    once for example we can change the themes of the house with one clap.

    4. Possible approach or methodology

    To carry out this project we will be using a number of materials including,

     4017 IC
     Relay
     some resistors
     mic
     PCB board.

    We will be connecting all the instruments on the PCB board according to the circuit diagram below
    and we will be using a soldering iron to solder the instruments so that they don’t get damaged.
