I m working on a 1/72 Gato submarine and I need help with a piece of electronics. What I am doing is building a torpedo that will run for 10 seconds and shut off. Currently there are a lot of torpedoes made to run off of compressed gas, I do not want to use gas. I am trying to build it using a reed switch that when slid into the torpedo tube a magnet will close the reed switch. Then to launch, the magnet is pulled away and the torpedo begins its run for 10 seconds. I am going to have to use small batteries ( 3v, maybe watch batteries???) the motor will be from a toy R/C helicopter.
I was told that it is a simple circuit using a 555 chip....... I am just electronic vacuum.
Can anyone help me with what I need to do to accomplish this?
Thank you!
Peace,
Tom
