Portable educational electrical hazard demonstrator titled "Hazard Hamlet," constructed as a multi-level miniature neighborhood scene illustrating dangerous interactions with live electrical systems in residential, utility, and construction environments. Housed within an aluminum-framed transport case with integrated wheels and latches, the display features molded cartoon-style figures, utility poles, transformers, overhead lines, household appliances, and construction equipment arranged across illustrated suburban backdrops. Various scenes depict common electrical dangers including contact with overhead power lines, unsafe appliance use near water, damaged utility equipment, tree trimming near live lines, and construction accidents involving energized conductors.
Side-mounted selector switches allow individual hazard scenarios to be activated independently, corresponding to labeled incidents including "swimming pool," "trimming hedge," "tv antenna," "blind girl," "backhoe," "radio/bathroom," and "car hits pole." The simulator also retains bilingual warning labels and an attached probe wand used to demonstrate electrical current flow and hazardous contact points throughout the model.

Designed as a hands-on safety training aid, the simulator utilizes live electrical current to physically demonstrate hazardous conditions and electrical flow through the miniature environment, reinforcing safety awareness through direct visual interaction. See less
