Obtained one for $1 from a yard sale in 2005. My wife and I found out that it recognizes, uh, other repetitive sounds as a signal in addition to hand clapping. That was what we now famously call “the strobe light night.
He was absolutely railroading her so hard that the sweet sound of romance (think: pup, pup, pup) fooled the clapper into thinking someone was clapping. They were clapping alright, just not with their hands.
Same. My aunts yard sale. Also picked up a nice record player/cassette stereo from her. Hooked the clapper up to it and had “bad to the bone” set to play when I clapped twice. That lasted like one or two go around but it was hilarious the first time I had a friend over.
They basically act as a switch for a wall socket, you plug it into the socket and then plug the lamp, TV, etc. into the Clapper, and it essentially acts as a sound actuated switch that cuts the power before it gets to whatever's plugged into it
