Design student James Auger was inspired by carnivorous plants to make a clock that is powered by converting the bodies of dead insects into electricity. A roll of flypaper catches the flies, which are in turn scraped off and dumped into a fuel cell. It’s an application of biomass energy conversion technology. You can watch videos about the clock at the link.

This anti-burglar mat works just like flypaper! Leave the super sticky mat inside your doorway when you leave or go to bed. If a burglar breaks in, he will be confounded and frustrated. He will probably free himself, but won’t be interested in whatever else he thinks you might have in store for him. What could possibly go wrong?
Of course on the other hand that might just make them angry and want to tear up the place a bit, in addition to robbing you.
The anti-burglar mat will be on sale in Japan this fall. Link -via J-walk Blog
