Inert Homemade Vibration Switch

The X-ray correct, inert, homemade vibration switch firing circuit contains all of the necessary components of an improvised explosive device (IED). The circuit is fully functional and will demonstrate that the firing switch has been activated by illuminating the LED in the blasting cap. The circuit board contains an X-ray correct battery, wire, switch, detonator, and inert explosive.

Powered by a 9V battery, this IED circuit would be activated when the doorstop spring makes contact with the wire loop. The cast booster simulant is engineered to have the same density and effective atomic number (Zeff) as the real explosive threat.
