WHAT: An alarm clock that wakes you up with the smell and sizzle of cooking bacon.
WHY: This prototype illustrates a concept for a plugin-based waking system built around an alarm clock that triggers various add-on modules. This is the "Bacon Baker" module.
HOW: A frozen strip of bacon is placed in the Baker module the night before. Because there is a 20 minute cooking time, the clock is set to go off 20 minutes before the desired waking time. Once the alarm goes off, it sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. We hacked it such 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 a halogen lamp in the "baker module" that slow-cooks the bacon in about 20 minutes.
