Electricity
Working electricity for BONELAB: a pull-start generator, cords and plugs you plug in by hand, power strips, lamps, a plug-in bulb, a dimmer, a motor, electromagnets, a motion sensor and a warning light.Electricity
Working electricity for BONELAB. Start a generator by pulling its cord, run power through strips, extension cords and a dimmer, and plug in lamps, a bulb, a motor, magnets and a warning light. Cords are drawn as real cables that sag, lie on the floor and pay out as you pull them.
Items
| Item | What it does |
|---|---|
| Generator | Pull its starter cord (hard, or once or twice) to start it. Touch the red button to stop it. Two sockets. |
| Power Strip | Four sockets on a cord. Trigger switches it on and off. |
| Extension Cord | One socket at the end of a cord. |
| Dimmer | Hold the trigger to turn the knob (the other way each time); tap the trigger for off and on. |
| Lamp | A table lamp. Lights when plugged into something live; trigger switches it. |
| Bulb | A plug-in lamp holder with an LED bulb. B switches it. |
| Motor | An apple-sized motor that spins things, faster or slower with the power it gets. B fixes what touches its flange to it. |
| Warning Light | A rotating amber beacon with a turning motor and an alarm sound. Trigger switches it. |
| Electromagnet | A big lifting magnet: it pulls metal to its pole face and holds it while it has power. |
| Small Electromagnet | A hand-held magnet: hold the trigger to pull metal to it, let go to drop it. |
| Motion Sensor | Says "on" when something moves in front of it. |
| Signal Cable | Joins the motion sensor (orange port) to what it works (green port: motor, warning light, big magnet). |
Controls
- Plugging in: hold a plug near a socket and a green ring shows where it will go. When the ring turns bright, pull the trigger. Plugs go in either way up, like real ones.
- Unplugging: take hold of a plugged-in plug and pull the trigger. Nothing else pulls a plug out.
- Cord colour: B (Y on the left hand) while holding an item or its plug.
- Grabbing: the piece your hand will take glows softly, so you can tell close things apart.
Settings
