What if you made a device like a level but with a fluid that conducted
electricity better. When the bubble is in the center it wouldn't be
completing the circuit (off). When it on the side, it would complete a
circuit (on). Just an Idea.
----- End of forwarded message from Matt Ramadanovic -----
There's no way the bubble will keep fluid from leaking through on the bottem
side. The gas will rise to the top and spread out under hydrostatic
pressure.
Keep trying.

| Radio Shack used to sell mercury switches. I have a couple here that would probably work quite well. (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) But if the contacts are on top and bottom of the tube, the bubble will separate them from conductive fluid, right? (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
