This genius built an Arduino door lock that activates when you open an incognito window
Don't want anyone to see the websites you visit in your search history? Or are you always worried about surprise intrusions into the room? Don't worry, the solution is simple. Use the incognito window.
Mike, CEO of Useless Duck Company, has created an automatic door lock known as the Incognito Lock, which instantly stops access to a room whenever an incognito session is initiated or the browser is activated. The gadget works via a door bolt that automatically locks itself whenever you initiate an incognito session in Google Chrome.
To create the incognito lock, Mike connected his computer to an Arduino Uno that is connected to a lock. A program then checks all the browsers running on the PC and if it detects one in incognito mode, it sends a signal to the Arduino lock.
Mike says he aims to keep the Christmas gifts that husbands choose for their wives a secret. “Let’s face it, guys! Sometimes when you’re on your computer, you do something you don’t want your wife to see… like Christmas shopping!”
This invention gives the individual the opportunity to browse the internet without having to worry about getting caught red-handed.
Some of Mike's other "creative" inventions include an automatic toilet paper cutter, a sock-removing robot, a hat-removing gadget, a wireless baby cradle, and more.
Below is Mike's demonstration of Incognito Lock.
