This exhibit explores how electrolysis works. The user can turn two handles and watch the liquid react creating small bubbles of oxygen and hydrogen. This is then presuraised within the container until the correct power is reached, when this limit lower limit is reached the button flashes allowing to press it.
when the button is pressed, a servo arm holding the pressure is released, as it ignites a taser module to create a small pop!
The Lady Victoria Colliery, located just nine miles out of Edinburgh, at Newtongrange, is one of the best examples of a Victorian "pit" in Europe. The museum features interactive displays 'The Story of Coal' and 'A Race Apart' with reconstructions, sound and visuals to describe the history and technology of coal and the story of the mining communities.
This project was part of my full time Employment with FIFEX LTD (SCOTLAND). This Interactive was produced by our team of Exhibit Designers, whilst others focused on the drawings, panneling and graphics. I used my experiance of electronics to create the control system.
This interactive is currently installed inside the National Mining Museum near Edinburugh.
