I need some advice for a simple electric circuit for a little art sculpture "thing" I want to built. It's supposed to be a machine that "detects" prayers as they pass by on their way up to heaven.
It will incorporate an old 0-10 volt D.C. voltmeter which will flicker (as it detects passing prayers), and a simple shop bell, that I want to "ding" every now and again as a prayer is registered. There is an antenna that is connected to the voltmeter made out of brass bits.
I need to know how to make the voltmeter flicker, and also how to make the bell randomly ding. For the bell I was thinking of using a model railway solenoid, or some kind of doorbell thing.
As you can probably tell I know next to nothing about electronics!
I'll post a drawing presently to show you what it will look like.
This is my first post by the way, so Hello!
All the best,
Johnny.
