Lie Detectors are electronic circuits that are able to measure your skin’s resistance. When you sweat (or if your skin is wet), the resistance is different than if it’s dry.


However since most people don’t sweat when they lie, this type of detector isn’t the most reliable type of detector around, but it’s one of the simplest to create. We’re going to build one from simple electronic components like resistors, capacitors, and transistors.


Our lie detector uses a speaker that changes pitch depending on the resistance of your skin – it’s much more entertaining than blinking an LED on or off. You can think of this circuit as more of a skin humidity indicator. Are you ready?
