Searching the interwebs, I found no shortage of leads about how to build a DIY seismometer. The problem is that the DIY seismometer designs I was seeing were large and ungainly contraptions. Investigating the cause, I discovered that the problem was the power adapter I was using, which couldn’t deliver enough current.

So on that small prototype, I had to sew 972 connections.

Since Power = Current x Voltage you can put the same amount of power through a conductor at a lower current with a higher voltage. This is important since the power dissipated by a wire is Current^2 x Resistance a lower current means less power lost on the lines and more efficiency for a high power load such as a car.
