Homemade Fire Alarm System

This is a demonstration of my 100% homemade fire alarm system. All it is is a homemade panel connected to three speakers, which produce a code-3 noise which sounds similar to a Wheelock MIZ-24S-R. I made the pull station using the popular building toy called K'nex. I screwed a wall switch to a plate, and created a mechanism which pulls the toggle on the switch down, into the "on" position, sounding the alarm. The pull station is simple to reset, although I had trouble with it, because I just could not get a good grip on it for some reason. But I managed, as you can see. It's all taped because it's only a prototype and once I get real horn/strobes and pull stations, they will all be replaced and it will all look nicer.

Also, when I say, "Before it gets on my nerves", i was actually referring to mom, who said "Stop! that's getting on my nerves!" at some point...


UPDATE: The system has been removed.
