Wonderful, isn't it? A San Francisco designer has created a bra that can be undone simply by clapping. The advantage? No more neck twisting and hand stretching all in a bid to reach the bra hooks that usually are the back. And especially guys that find it hard to remove the bra of their women easily.
Designed by Randy Safaran, the battery-powered design uses an electromagnet that controls a switch which opens the clasp of the bra when someone claps nearby. According to Safaran, she was motivated by the weird and wonderful hi-tech bras found in Syrian bazaars.
He also included step-by-step procedures on how to make a personal one:
*Cut the clasp off of the bra. Carefully break open the casing for the relay to expose the electromagnet.
*Put your relay into the centre of a prototype circuit board and make cut marks around the outline of the relay. Cut two prototype circuit boards to size.
*One board should have a 1/4 trimmed off of each long end, such that you are a left with a long strip.
*The other board should be cut to a small square using the markings you made in the outline of the relay.
*Put together the circuit using the 28-pin socket in place of the ATMEGA168 chip.
*Cut the ends off a USB cable to leave a section of cable roughly 6” to 8” long.
*Cut a small bow-tie shaped section of fabric that will fold over the front of the bra – the part the clamp is attached to.
*In the centre of this bow-tie cut a small opening and fasten a grommet.
*Insert a bolt through the grommet from the back towards the front and fasten it with a nut.
And that's it...!
But, if the bra will be undone by clapping, please don't wear it to church....! Hehehe.
