     The transient sphere  106  places the sphere  104  over the bar of the pressure switch  108  and the pressure switch  108  divides the electricity received into two clusters. 
       FIG. 2  illustrates an exploded view of a shell in an automatic vibrational electrical switch, according to one embodiment. With respect to  FIG. 2 , the shell  102  protects the internal members of the automatic vibration electric switch  101  against dust, soil, wind and rain. The shell  102  of the electric switch includes a board  202  and a lid  204 . The internal parts of the switch are placed over the board  202  and are connected to the wall. The lid  204  is situated over the switch parts and is connected to the board  202 . The board  202  and the lid  204  of the shell  102  holds the various parts of the switch and protects them against dust, soil, wind and rain. 
     The board  202  is a circular sheet having a diameter of 120 mm and a thickness of 6 mm. Further the board  202  includes a base for installing the shell  102  on the wall with the height of 50 mm. The lid  204  of the shell  102  is cylindrical in shape having a height of 125 mm and internal diameter of 90.5 mm. 
     For example, the diameter of the sphere  104  is 32 mm and the diameter of the transient sphere  106  is 90 mm with an external thickness of 10 mm in over the circular sheet. The central thickness of the transient sphere  106  sheet is 5 mm and the diameter of the central bore of the transient sphere  106  sheet is 7.5 mm.

       FIG. 3  illustrates an exploded view of an automatic vibrational electrical switch with a sphere and a transient sphere according to one embodiment, while  FIG. 4  illustrates an exploded view of an electric pressure switch according to one embodiment. With respect to  FIG. 3  and  FIG. 4 , the automatic vibrational electric switch includes the pressure bar  402 , a spring  404 , a metal blade  406 , one or more bars  408 . The body of the pressure switch  108  places the pressure bar  402 , the spring  404 , the metal blade  406 , and the electricity connection bars in the due places of the automatic vibrational electric switch  101 . The sphere  104  in the automatic vibration electric switch  101  enforces pressure on the bar of the pressure switch  108  in standby fashion and reacts against vibration. The pressure bar  402  is the point of connection with the metal blade  406  and an electric division. 
     The sphere  104  acts as a weight and is used for protecting the pressure switch  108  and connecting the electric current during the normal mode. During the normal mode, the transient sphere places the sphere load over the bar of pressure switch and is dynamic in up and down mode as shown in  FIG. 3 . 
     The pressure switch  108  divides the electricity received into two clusters and performs the task of moving the metal blade  406  up and down. The pressure switch  108  also changes the direction of the electricity in the switch. The pressure switch  108  holds the pressure bar  402 , the spring  404 , the metal blade  406  and the electric connection bars  408  as shown in  FIG. 4 . 
     The automatic vibrational electric switch  101  includes the spring  404  for performing the action of automating and dynamiting the pressure bar  402  as shown in  FIG. 4 . The pressure bar  402  is adapted to flip the metal blade  406  in an upward direction and a downward direction to change a direction of flow of electricity. 
     The metal blade  406  performs the action of cutting and connecting electricity within the switch. The vibration rate in the automatic vibrational electric switch  101  depends on the diameter of the bar and also on the curved end of the bar. The diameter of the one or more bars  408  can be modified based on the requirements. 
       FIG. 5  illustrates an exploded view of an electric pressure circuit in a normal mode and a standby mode according to one embodiment, while  FIG. 6  illustrates an exploded view of an electric pressure circuit in a quake mode and a vibration mode according to one embodiment. With respect to  FIG. 5 , the automatic vibrational electric switch functions in two modes namely the normal mode  502  and the standby mode. The electricity is connected to the switch in the normal mode  502  and the switch is always in standby for reacting during an earthquake and a shock. 
     When a vibration is occurred exceeding the common rate, the automatic vibration electric switch  101  functions in the quake mode  602 . The automatic vibration electric switch  101  uses the electricity for the meant purpose in the normal mode  502 . During the normal mode  502 , no vibration occurs and the automatic vibration electric switch  101  is in standby and the electricity is used for systems and technologies to operate normally. 
     The pressing operation of the transient sphere  106  switch towards upward direction leads to placing the sphere  104  load over the pressure bar and keeps the automatic vibrational electric switch  101  in the standby mode. Further when any vibration occurs in the normal mode  502 , the sphere load is released and the electric switch is automatically operated in a quake mode  602 . The vibrational section of the switch is the end of electric current pressure bar  402  and the sphere  104  load is placed as shown in  FIG. 5 . When the vibration occurs in the quake mode  602 , the electricity supply to the dangerous systems and technologies are cut and security technologies are launched depend on the speed of electricity as shown in  FIG. 6 . 
       FIG. 7  illustrates an exploded view of the three states of the bar end and the three states of the sphere over the bar according to one embodiment, while  FIG. 8  illustrates a perspective view of an automatic vibrational electric switch  101  according to one embodiment. With respect to  FIG. 7 , the three states of the bar end  702  includes a flat end  704 , a hollow end  706  and a prominent end  708 . The vibration rate of the automatic vibration electric switch  101  in horizontal fashion depends on the diameter of the bar. The diameter of the bar in the switch is 7 mm. Further since the sphere load is placed over the pressure of the bar, the load of the weight is imposed vertically on the bar and radius of the bar is the falling points of the weight as shown in  FIG. 7 . 
     The three states of the sphere  710  over the bar include a balanced state  712 , a standing state  713  and a falling always state  714 . In first mode, the bar end is flat and the sphere  104  stands balanced over the bar. In second mode, the bar end is hollow and the sphere  104  sits on the pressure bar  402 . In third mode the bar end is protruded and the sphere falls always. 
     The distance between the vertical points of the load up to the falling point of the weights shows the vibration rate in horizontal fashion. The vibration height of the switch depends on the curvature of the end of the bar as shown in  FIG. 7 . Further for representing the vibration height, the three modes of the bar namely the first mode, the second mode and the third mode are considered as the end. 
     With respect to  FIG. 7 , the automatic vibrational electric switch  101  is used for application of systems and for earthquake security technologies in the quickest possible time. The automatic vibrational electric switch provides the technological fight facility against the earthquake and sudden shakes in the environment. The automatic vibrational electric switch provides the possibility of controlling dangerous technologies and applications of technologies in the quickest time in different situations such as an earthquake, an explosion and during the time of leakage of gas, chemical materials, oil, and water. 
     The automatic vibrational electric switch reacts against sudden shocks and minimizes the financial damages in quickest possible time during earthquake and sudden explosions.
