Watch out, was designed in the workshop RescuEnergy, in partnership with Eni (Novara research group on alternative energy).
Brief : redesign of everyday household items
aiming to save energy, in our case, reflect on those
home appliances that waste energy even when not in use.
clock, working 24 hours at 24, uses batteries all day, but is only used a few times to look forward.
The project development was therefore focused on redesigning a clock that only works when you have real need.
The result is a kinetic sculpture wall, an object consisting of two sealed boxes, a weight and a dynamo.
using the energy generated by the fall of the weight, a bag containing a handful of rice, the alternator is charging the energy needed to display the time for about two seconds on a digital display.
A small battery with a voltage lower than 3 volts also provides the memory clock, using a reduced total energy consumption.
The object has been built in wood and acrylic, and then exposed Triennale along with other prototypes.
Designed and created by: July and Michele Astrid Sterchele
