Bulbed Egg Maker
Simon Rhymes, 23, from Chippenham, thought up the idea for the Bulbed Egg Maker (BEM) while studying project design at Bournemouth University.After experimenting with more than 600 eggs, Mr Rhymes says he can now produce a "perfect" boiled egg in six minutes.
He has patented the BEM, which uses high-powered halogen bulbs to cook the egg before slicing the top off.
Mr Rhymes got the idea after wondering if there was a use for the heat a light bulb produced.
"I started to experiment and cooked an egg under a table lamp. That took about half an hour.
