@brinhq: Engineer and inventor Colin Furze created one of the most extreme alarm clocks ever built. Instead of simply ringing, his “alarm clock bed” uses powerful pneumatic pistons to violently launch the sleeper out of bed when the alarm goes off. The device was built in 2015 after Furze admitted he had a habit of sleeping through traditional alarms. The bed is mounted on a metal frame with air cylinders and a timer system that triggers the mechanism, instantly catapulting the mattress upward and forcing the person awake. While the invention was never intended to be a real commercial product, the project quickly went viral online as a humorous example of creative engineering. It highlights Furze’s style of turning everyday problems into over the top mechanical experiments that blend innovation with entertainment. Source: BBC
