You can get a sense of what the 'world's loudest keyboard' created by uwo's lab is like by watching the video below.




First, uwo's lab attached a 65%-sized keyboard to a breadboard and used a relay and a linear actuator (red frame) to create a mechanism that would hit the iron plate when the keyboard was pressed.



All you have to do is place a metal plate in front of the linear actuator, and you can hear the clanging sound of the linear actuator hitting the metal plate along with the satisfying clacking of the keyboard.



Next, uwo's lab attaches another device to the breadboard.



Tongue drums are also available.



This resulted in the creation of the tongue drum, which has two rubber mallets powered by compressed air.



Finally, uwo's lab added a special feature: a heating coil that activates when you reach a certain typing speed.



When the heating coil is activated, it heats up and ignites the firecrackers. The sounds of the keyboard, the metal plate, the tongue drum, and the firecrackers all blend together, confusing your brain as to what you are being shown.
