When 69-year-old Peter Brown retired from his job as a pilot, he decided to embark on a whole new mission: to create the perfect breakfast for his wife. After all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. One bad thing is that unless you're a morning person, making a real good breakfast can be a difficult, impossible task.
But Peter Brown went much further than just getting up in the morning and preparing his own food. His plans were complicated enough to make professional engineers blush. Brown put together a complex mechanism, similar to those of Rube Goldberg, which itself creates all the necessary foundations for breakfast - starting with a cup of good English tea and a boiled soft-boiled egg.
And, of course, nowhere without toasted bread - toast. Peter knew that open fire could be dangerous, but "when it comes to breakfast, you have to take risks." But breakfast can even vary a little - a cup of tea or instant coffee, a hard-boiled or soft-boiled egg, a strong or low roast toast.
Brown spent about a thousand hours of his time assembling this wonderful mechanism. It consists of three parts: the first deals with boiling water, and pouring tea (coffee) into a cup. The second is responsible for boiling the eggs, and the third is for frying the bread. In total, the car takes up space one and a half by one and a half meters and a little more than half a meter in height.
The mechanism is controlled by Arduino controllers and modules. The design includes thirteen electric motors, several electromagnets, stepper motors and magnet-based brakes. Three months of work to complete the breakfast machine was well worth the end result - it's almost perfect! mechanism by controllers and Arduino modules.
