How To Make a Water Gun Alarm Clock

View All Steps

	Having a little trouble waking up in the morning? There’s nothing like a good soaking to get you going.
	Open the alarm clock and snip the 2 wires that lead from its circuit board to the speaker.
	Depending on the clock’s design, you may need to snip the wires just to get it open. That’s okay.
	Strip the two ends of wire leading from the board, and splice two longer pieces of wire to the ends.
	Solder these splices to secure the connection.
	Take apart the water gun and snip the two wires leading to the trigger switch.
	Strip the ends of these wires, splice longer wires to each end, and secure the connections with solder.
	Pop the relay switch into the breadboard circuit and connect each pair of wires to opposite sides of the relay.
	If you don’t have a breadboard circuit, solder the switch and wires to a regular circuit board. It’s harder to do, but will make for a more permanent connection – and water clock.
	Now set the alarm, position the water gun so it’s pointing at your face, and drop off into a nice peaceful sleep.
	Sleepers who rely too heavily on the snooze button deprive themselves of valuable REM sleep, impairing their mental functioning during the day.

I dunno. I would probably just hit the water gun snooze if I was your kids.
