- Hi Anna,
- Thought you might be interested in this
method of exactly timed electronic release, from 1 min to 24
hrs!
Usable as often as you like, with no ice dripping water, for
under £60.
-
- Part One
- What you need:
- A long piece of string or rope.
- 2x strong key rings (1 will have your
release key(s) on it).
-
- Mains 4-way extension socket. - approx
£6

- Mechanical timer (24hr) - approx £8
- (Use 24hr timers, so you can't set them
for 3 days instead of 3 hrs by mistake):

- Preparation to Magnetic door holder: (See pic)
Wire the long mains lead into the magnetic door holder casing,
attach a cable tie or (non-metallic) hook to back of plastic
box if you wish to suspend it from a hook, or you could put it
on a convenient high shelf or top of a wardrobe.
Attach a key ring (weighted if needed) to the plate part of the
door holder that will be held by the electro-magnet.
-
- Release Method:
(Your own variations are possible, I find this method avoids
the keys repeatedly dropping to the floor, well you wouldn't
want a bent key now would you ?): (See
pic) Tie one end of the string VERY securely to a curtain
rail or hook on one side of the room above your bed or wherever
you intend to be secured.
Attach the electro-magnet to a high point midway across the room,
out of your bound reach, (this is why it needs a long lead).
Plug it into the digital mains timer that can be set very accurately.
In turn plug the digital timer into the mechanical timer (set
for an hour or so longer than the digital, this is just a backup
measure in case the digital timer fails - key will also drop
in the event of a power cut). In turn plug this into your 4-way
extension socket, all plugged in and arranged out of your bound
reach.
- Thread the string through the key ring
on the plate, and knot it securely. (a single key must not be
used instead of the plate as it may not be heavy enough to ensure
it drops when electro magnet is de-energised). Tie the other
end of the string VERY securely to the keyring on the floor across
the other side of the room. The string will remain suspended
out of your reach until the time releases the plate, allowing
it to fall to the floor. Beware the metal part of the plate that
had been held by the electro magnet may be a little hot. When
in bondage, I like to use handcuffs attached to a waist belt,
secured behind the back, and attach a chain to a ring in the
wall just above the bed, limiting movement. You will be able
to see the string held teasingly aloft above you, but will be
unable to reach it until it falls. Then you will be able to reel
the keys in!
-
- Obviously do a few tests to ensure
the string falls where you expect it to!
-
- Remember, treat secure Self-bondage as
you would a parachute jump, it's a thrill that requires careful
preparation, and has similar risks!
-
- Feel free to use an extra ice, paint,
ink backup release if you so desire.
-
- Part two
- Hi Anna,
- As an addition to my previous email, here's
a detailed photo of everything required to put together the kit
for timed release, allowing you to set any time up to 24hrs.
This particular electronic timer includes a countdown function
for convenience, and a random function too for the brave! Personally
I prefer to know when it will release.
-
- Do not use the key directly on the electromagnet
because there is a possibility that the key could get magnetized
by the electromagnet and therefore not fall when even when there
is no power. During my extensive testing, using a single small
key this did happen (in operation, the electromagnet also generates
heat, I wouldn't advise touching it), hence my recommendation
for the method described, using the supplied plate (designed
to release and approved by fire regulations) which I've successfully
tested many times. This can be weighted as shown to ensure release.
-
- I've also included diagrams of how I've
wired into and attached a hook / loop to the rear of the box
for clarity (requires drilling a couple of holes, easy into plastic
box). Internal wiring is similar to and no more difficult than
wiring an ordinary mains plug. The elastic bands around the release
plate are purely to stop it rattling and so make it a little
quieter on landing, I'd advise placing something soft (that won't
prevent you from pulling the keys) under where it will fall.
