Enemalarm and lots of latex

[Like Ra]

Not sure if it's the right sub-forum to post this message into. Here's my latest experiments with "enemalarm" (enema-based alarm clock): http://www.likera.com/blog/wp/archives/2928

During the nature of the "clock", lots of latex involved.

Let me know what you think.

That's quite an extreme way to make you wake up in the mornings

Personally I'd simplify it by replacing the extra bag & pump with a simple normally-closed solenoid valve that opens when switched on.

At least it works in some cases when normal alarm clocks do not ;-)

I would totally agree with you if you could point me to a worldwide accessible supplier of those solenoid valves. At least I could not find any :-(

The valves used in washing machines which are very cheap (£3 brand new from my nearest spares supplier) should be findable anywhere. Or there's any number of industrial process valves which should be just about universal.

Very innovative and a cool idea!

Is this what you mean?

Any links?

I have to ask, though it's entirely off topic: if I did that I'd need about ten metres of tubing to allow for all the rolling about at night. Do you imply by this setup that you fall asleep in one position and wake up exactly the same way?

I think 3 or maximum 4. You do not roll always clockwise or counter clockwise, do you?

No, but with some rope you can greatly limit your ability to move around ;-)

Both of those were double inlet valves, but yes that's the sort of thing.

Industrial valves can be had from any industrial supplier - companies that supply hydraulics & pneumatics should be able to help or point you in the right direction.

OK, I see. My method is much simpler ;-)
