An olfactory alarm clock to get up in a good mood in the morning

A young man from Nantes, just 18 years old, stood out in the 4th edition of the Google Science Fair competition with his olfactory awakening project which earned him his place as a finalist.

An olfactory awakening? To do what ?

Guillaume Rolland, a young high school student, explains that l’Idea of ​​creating an olfactory alarm clock comes from lived experiences by his father, director of a retirement health home. According to the latter, some seniors are unable to get up alone in the morning because they do not hear the alarm ring. We also know thatalarm clock can be particularly aggressive in the morning which often leads us to get up in a very bad mood.

This is how he created an alarm clock specially intended for anyone having some difficulty hearing the bell in the morning.

An alarm clock that works like a coffee machine

It is an alarm clock which, at first glance, looks like a basic alarm clock but in which it is necessary insert a scented pod (different scents will be available).

Once the time for awakening arrived built-in fan turns on, the created air flow passes through the pod and then is broadcast in the bedroom.

Thediffused odor is so concentrated that the person ends up wake up after 30 seconds (even 1 minute for those who are heavy sleepers).

Looking for investors

This olfactory awakening can enjoy to all those who do not hear the alarm the morning, to the elderly but also to all those who suffer from hearing loss.

For now the alarm clock is still a prototype, to which its creator continues to make improvements.

Young Guillaume still has to work on it a little before present your project at the final of the Google Science Fair which will take place very soon in California. Hopefully for him that he will be one of the big winners and that thanks to this he will be able to find investors ready to embark on the production of his famous olfactory alarm clock.

We look forward to the day when the alarm clock wakes us up from our sleep with the scent of croissants or that of a good hot chocolate.
