i have an idea for anti-theft and carjacking. i want to make a timer circuit to cut off the fuel pump. no fuel=no start. i think this would be the best way. and it doesnt hurt anything.
now i would kill anybody who messed with my stuff. i drive a muscle car ive put alot of work into and im not about to let some scumbag take it from me without a fight. but in some situations, youre not able to fight or disarm the person. the best thing to do is give them what they want and let it go.
hypothetical situation:
your in your car stopped...guy comes up to the window wielding a gun, (keeping his distance...he knows what hes doing) and tells you to get out of the car. you have no choice but to give him the car or die. but before you get out you flip the secret switch, activating the timer switch. the thief drives off but then the car quits because of the fuel pump cutoff.
this puts distance and time between you and the thief so he cant get mad and shoot you. you have time to call the cops. when he cant get it started he will just panic and leave the car.
this would also work if someone tried to hot wire it. each time you leave the car you flip the fuel pump swtich, turning it off....no start. only other way to steal the car would be to put it on a roll back truck.
so how would i build a circuit that would control this? i keep thinking timer relay of some sort but i dont know anything about them. i could tie it in with the fuel pump relay circuit. can somebody give me an idea on how to build this?
