[THN] Guy Builds A Thor-Like Hammer that Only He Can Pick Up

If you have watched the most recent Avengers movie, then you would be aware of a scene where all the superheroes Iron Man, War Machine, Hawkeye, and Captain America take turns to lift Thors hammer but fail.
To make his hammer immovable, Pan made use of:

• A capacitive touch sensor (fingerprint sensor) attached to the handle
  
  
• AnArduino Pro Miniand a solid state relay, which serves as a switching device.
  
  
• A microwave oven transformerelectromagnetthat uses electricity to produce a very strong magnetic field.
  

The electromagnet creates a very strong magnetic field, strong enough that when the hammer is placed on a metal surface, it feels too heavy to lift.

With only a little bit of programming, Pan made thefingerprint sensor act as a switch so when he grabs the hammer's handle and places his thumb on the sensor, the electromagnets turns off, allowing only him to lift the hammer.

Already saw the video, that thing is awesome, but if you know the trick it won't really suprise you.

Damn.
Now I want one of these too :noh:

i want one to show the ladies that i'm asian thor :D

It's a good idea, have a broken microwave might do this or something similar one day

Might wanna increase the response times of his Arduino lol.

Well i want one for sure, are their instructions on how to make it?
