Take a piece of non conducting board, say about six by six feet. Put electrodes on it; say a pair of electrodes every quarter inch or so across and down.
Each pair of electrodes would be connected to logic so that it generates a unique number. When the electrodes are shorted, the number would be generated.
Quite elaborate. And unless you live in a rainy part of the world, not very useful. Better off using those contraptions where little steel balls fall around the electrodes. There's some entropy there... but still, it's too elaborate for RNG generation. - --- [This message has been signed by an auto-signing service.
