Radio Shack used to sell mercury switches.  I have a couple here that would
probably work quite well.

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.

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.
