    Build-Your-Own Air-Actuated Foot Switches

    Combine a foot-pedal actuator with a switching mechanism to build a complete switch that allows for convenient, hands-free operation. These switches use air pressure to turn circuits on or off, keeping live electrical circuits away from work areas.
