Flame-Throwing Notifications For Texts and Emails
Setting safety aside, Mike Waddick, from the YouTube channel, Punch Through Design, turned a jack-o’-lantern into a hard-to-ignore notification device for texts and emails. An automatic Glade air freshener was connected to a Lightblue Bean microcontroller that received signals about new texts and emails from an iPhone over Bluetooth. The notification would trigger the aerosol air freshener to emit a quick blast, which was ignited by a tea candle, creating a quick burst of flames that burns knuckles and grabs anyone’s attention.
