I have been tasked with creating a game for a charity event.
The game is, essentially, shooting a Nerf dart through an 8" hole approximately 12' away from the shooter.
I want to install tiny neodymium supermagnets in the tips of the darts and, when they pass through the hole in the target and strike the backboard, set off a siren and flashing lights.
Thus far I have not been able to nail down a simple but sensitive enough design that will act as a trigger for the sound and lights. I understand a copper coil would be required to boost the sensitivity, but cannot seem to find anything that does not power a set of headphones.
Any ideas out there?
Thank you,
