oh em gee

how's this Miss A?

Feeling hungry in the morning? The Wake n’ Bacon, a collaborative alarm clock design by Matty Sallin, Daniel Bartolini and Hsiao-huh Hsu, wakes you up with the delicious scent of bacon instead of the annoying beeping. Here’s how it works :

A frozen strip of bacon is placed in Wake n’ Bacon the night before. Because there is a 10 minute cooking time, the clock is set to go off 10 minutes before the desired waking time. Once the alarm goes off, the clock it sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. We hacked the clock so that the signal is re-routed by a microchip that in responds by sending a signal to a relay that throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes.

Clever, isn’t it? But don’t forget that meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder!
