seeder Posted November 13, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Waking up at the SMACK of dawn: Alarm clock slaps you in the face to get you out of bed Robotics enthusiast Simone Giertz built the device on her houseboat The Wake Up Machine uses an alarm clock wired to a motorised rubber arm Positioned above the bed, the arm whips around to repeatedly slap the sleeper in the face when their alarm goes off http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3316904/Waking-SMACK-dawn-Alarm-clock-slaps-face-bed.html#ixzz3rNQbeMFC 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldorado Posted November 13, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Cheaper than a wife Yep. And you can sleep at bottom of bed and have it spank you awake! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted November 13, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Its the rubber hand bit...I can just see a new wave of "please help me, there is a hand which keeps visiting me at night when I am fast asleep and its not my alarm clock! I think its is the person who died here 300 years ago trying to warn me" I could have a field day with the paranormal stories I could concoct with this piece of apparatus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobolds Posted November 14, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 14, 2015 it is not the slap that will wake you up, rather it is the sound. the machine make louder noise than the alarm clock 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidey2 Posted November 17, 2015 #15 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Don't need one. I've got a wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranomali Posted November 17, 2015 #16 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Could think of nothing worse, I feel like alarm clocks of any type shouldn't exist and it would be brilliant to just get up and do **** when my body wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurzweil Posted November 17, 2015 #17 Share Posted November 17, 2015 If positioned correctly this clock could deliver a happy ending every morning. Of course you'd go back to sleep so it needs a snooze alarm. Not impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcgram Posted November 18, 2015 #18 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Yeah, that would only last once before I rip it off the wall. Same here! I don't like being smacked in the face, even if someone is kidding. It makes me see red. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibadiba Posted November 18, 2015 #19 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Already have a cat that does that for me but instead of a hand I get a paw to the face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
