Penance for emergency release
Posted: 08 Mar 2018, 16:39
Here is another emergency release idea that relies on the destruction of information, such as a safe combination. Loss of the information results in you having to do some penance to recover. The penance might be having to walk to work as your car keys are locked up, trying every combination of a combination lock or having to walk/run/cycle to somewhere you have hidden the combination.
I have mentioned this method in several previous posts, e.g. http://forum.boundanna.net/board/viewto ... 769#p70769 but it does not seem to carry much favour with members. Even so, having thought of another way to do it, I might as well post it as it might be useful to someone.
You need a narrow neck bottle or pot that you can’t see through. A dark coloured wine bottle would probably do. The bottle needs to be filled with water and secured so it won’t fall over. Adding a little washing up liquid seems to help, also warm the water so it is at room temperature as a minimum. Take a suitable piece of material and write a combination or password on it with a non-permanent marker, then suspend it in the top of the bottle with a simple rod through a hole, such that, if you pull the rod, the bit of material will drop into the bottle. You might need to add a weight. The writing might survive dropping into the water but, with right material, you won’t be able to get it out without destroying the writing. So far, I have tried a little of plastic cut from a transparent blown plastic packaging tray - the sort of thing you get in supermarkets for burgers, cakes etc.
Connect the rod to your emergency release. Use it and the combination/password is destroyed, meaning that you have to do your penance.
I’d be interested in any imaginative ideas for a penance.
