Automation Part 2 by Alex Peterson
February 12th, 2007 1:09 PM
I am automating the most important part of my life: the part where I wake up. This is a pretty simple mechanism. I made this because I knew that when I wake up in the morning, it's not fully awake. My alarm wakes me up, but then I go back to sleep. So, I need somethjing else to help me. I have a spray bottle tied to a string at the top of my bed. When I wake up via my alarm, I pull a string and it shoots water at my face, and Viola! I'm awake! I might add in another part later to make it easier to operate (i.e. some counterbalance that I can easily take off to make the bottle spray). I'm almost done, I just need my parents' permission to add the finishing touches. Pics reel soon!
I definitely want to see pics of this, and want to hear how it works out. :D
