Meteor zapper detector connected to laser system for disarming incoming meteors??

As awesome as it would be to get to design and build something that cool, sadly, No...

Lets say you also may have one of these on your bike / in your car being used for a totally different application

Apologies, I should have mentioned the angle. I'm at work so I will go for a stroll and I'm sure I can find something soon.

EDIT: Here it is, apologies to Adidas, not cat related.

The bottle cap is there for size reference.

Plunger switch of some sort for mounting into timber?

safety switch for electric equipment doors opening?... err i mean... eg... the one on my washing machine that senses when the lid gets opened and stops the machine really quick so kiddies or fools dont get hurt!?

It DOES mount into wood, or into a plastic housing. I should mention that the little white peice on the end doesn't move, but the silver ring around it is magnetic.

[Janx101]

ahh ok.. so .. something closes against the plastic nub .. the ring slips out to magnet itself to a 'striker' plate .. and something inside moves to tell something else that ''the door" is shut and machinery safe to operate?

[Kiwingenuity]

Ah - is it a reed switch for security monitoring?

The first part is correct, but it is not in any way electric.
