I have a minimalistic knowledge of electronics, and have an idea I want to work on, but I don't know enough.
To start, It is a project that involved inputing an electronic sound signal (like what comes out of a headphone port) and doing some strange things to it.
One part I have figured out I needed is an SPDT relay, but it needs to be able to alternate up to about between 1000 and 2000 hz and still have enough time to allow current to flow. Is this unrealistically fast?
Another part involves creating a spark (arc length will probably be between 1 and 2 mm) with power coming from a charged capacitor. How powerful of a capacitor do I need to achieve this? What kind of power source would I need to charge it?
I may (and will) have a few more questions along the road, but i'll add them to this thread when I need to.
Thanks for the help.
