Prototyping with Applied Science: Design and build a bite sensor

Join me in brainstorming and building a bite force sensor that allows paraplegic musicians to smoothly control an expression pedal. This video will include construction tips and tricks, methods, material selection, and a little design philosophy.

Tiny linear potentiometer used in final design:

Spring-loaded linear potentiometer:

Sil-Poxy for bonding silicone rubber to itself and other materials:

Sorta Clear 40 - Platinum-cure silicone molding:

Light-cure 3311 adhesive: (expensive, but this tube will last a long time)

Blue lasers on eBay "5mW" *wink*

Braided shield, highly flexible, 4-conductor cable:

Fabric reinforced silicone sheet:
