How To: Scare Yourself Out of Bed with This Explosive TNT Alarm Clock
The first alarm clock in recorded history can be traced back to ancient Greek philosopher Plato, known for laying the foundations of Western philosophy and science. Plato was said to possess a very large water clock with an alarm signal similar to that of a water organ.Water would slowly flow from one vessel to another, triggering a sound when the process was over. This crude design evolved over time, slowly becoming more time efficient and smaller in size, becoming the alarm clock we all know and love (but usually hate) now.

Make It Defusable, TooThis defusable alarm clock kit, available over on Maker Shed, acts like a normal alarm clock with one little modification...
