Having a little trouble waking up in the morning? There's nothing like a good soaking to get you going.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Battery Operated Alarm Clock
Motorized Water Gun
16 Gauge Wire
Wire Stripper
Voltage Relay Switch
Breadboard Circuit
Soldering Equipment

Step 1: Open the clock

Open the alarm clock and snip the 2 wires that lead from its circuit board to the speaker.

Tip: Depending on the clock's design, you may need to snip the wires just to get it open. That's okay.

Step 2: Strip wire

Strip the two ends of wire leading from the board, and splice two longer pieces of wire to the ends.

Step 3: Solder

Solder these splices to secure the connection.

Step 4: Snip watergun wires

Take apart the water gun and snip the two wires leading to the trigger switch.

Step 5: Strip wires

Strip the ends of these wires, splice longer wires to each end, and secure the connections with solder.

Step 6: Connect wires

Pop the relay switch into the breadboard circuit and connect each pair of wires to opposite sides of the relay.

Tip: If you don't have a breadboard circuit, solder the switch and wires to a regular circuit board. It's harder to do, but will make for a more permanent connection — and water clock.

Step 7: Set alarm

Now set the alarm, position the water gun so it's pointing at your face, and drop off into a nice peaceful sleep.
