Guess what the iron pictured above in not an iron. It’s a radio! Stunned? I too was when I first got introduced to this radio disguised as iron we use for removing wrinkles from our dress. When we were kids, we were asked time and again not to touch the hot metal plate of the iron when plugged in. Some of us surely had really wanted to touch it and see as to what happens if we touch it, right? Here’s the iron radio that asks you to touch the metal plate, literally for, it’s only when you touch it you can select your favorite station. The metal plate is used to select the stations, while the knobs and dials control the rest of the radio’s functions like volume, and switching between AM/FM. And the casing is stuffed with an Arduino, a speaker, sensors, and LEDs under the metal plate, with various switches and controls. Oops, the incredulity literally made me forget to tell you the name of the ingenious minds behind. This cool iron radio is created by Dean McNamee, Elena Gianni, Gizem Boyacioglu, and Mayo Nissen.
