Ok so bare with me because I am a complete philistine with no working knowledge of this stuff.
I study at an art school, and for my interim show in a little over a week I am organising a performance which will involve a load of emaciated art students spitting down a staircase within my school. The performance will be organised so that each of the performers has a number, and they will spit as their number is called from a speaker system placed at the top of the stairs. What I would like to happen is for there to be a moisture sensor at the bottom of the stairs, which will be triggered by the large quantity of saliva, and (this is the part I am struggling with) would link to a circuit breaker at the power source for the speaker system. The sensor would therefore act as a kill switch for the performance as whole, ending it and rendering the speaker system inert for the rest of the show.
Is this possible? If so how? and is there any form of ready made version of this which I could buy on the cheap?
Thanks very much to who ever answers this, hope it will be entertaining and not annoying for that special someone who takes the challenge.
