The Silent Alarm Clock wakes you by the vibrative ring. This concept designed by Johan Brengesjo. "Each person wears a wireless rubber ring with an integrated vibration device that generates a tactile alarm, the snooze function is engaged by shaking your hand.

Blonder Slide Rule Wall Clock - Powered by LEGO Mindstorms

An interesting wall clock prototype inspired by a slide rule - Blonder Slide Rule Wall Clock. Hours and minutes on separate rulers, meet at a central slider with retrograde motion for each cycle. Powered by LEGO Mindstorms(right of pic). The base of the clock was constructed from standard LEGOs, encasing two mindstorm servo motors. At the corners of the base are four switches, used to support the "slider". By pressing the corners of the slider its possible to set the hours and minutes. See the below video showing it in action.

WAKE n' BACON

A fun alarm - WAKE n' BACON by Matty Sallin, Daniel Bartolini, Hsiao-huh Hsu.
WHAT: An alarm clock that wakes you up with the smell and sizzle of cooking bacon.
WHY: No one likes to wake up, especially by an alarm. This clock gently wakes you up with the mouthwatering aroma of bacon, just like waking up on a Sunday morning to the smell of Mom cooking breakfast. Unless you're Jewish.
HOW: A frozen strip of bacon is placed in Wake n' Bacon the night before. Because there is a 10 minute cooking time, the clock is set to go off 10 minutes before the desired waking time. Once the alarm goes off, the clock it sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. We hacked the clock so 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 two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes. if I don't like bacon, could I change to others?

Jaeger LeCoultre Atmos 561 Clock by Marc Newson

Suspended in a bubble block of Baccarat crystal and powered by temperature change, Jaeger LeCoultre's Atmos 561 mechanical clock has been designed by Marc Newson. The Atmos 561 clocks don't need to be wound up. they get all the energy to run from small temperature changes in the encapsulated environment, and can run for years without human intervention. Its power source is a hermetically sealed capsule containing a mixture of gas and liquid ethyl chloride, which expands into an expansion chamber as the temperature rises, compressing a spiral spring; with a fall in temperature the gas condenses and the spring slackens. This motion constantly winds the mainspring. A variation in temperature of only one degree in the range between 15 and 30 degrees Celsius is sufficient for two days' operation. Cool!!

Digimech Clock

The Digimech-Clock by Duncan Schotton. "The sliders are gradually cranked up in accurate time. Upon reaching the last number (e.g. the 9th minute) the same servo disengages the ratchets 'stopper' and the slider then falls to the first number again. The slider positions are controlled by 3 JR servos which are regulated with a PIC16F628 microcontroller. Each servo interacts with a ratchet and pawl which are linked to the pinion which drives the slider mounted rack." Check out see the Digimech clock in action.
