Solar-Powered Hybrid Alarm Clock

The Solar-Powered Hybrid Alarm Clock is an interesting clock as it uses both battery and solar power to work. During the day, the clock is powered using solar power gathered from it’s solar panel. At night, the clock glows blue due to the blue backlit display. Therefore the clock is designed to save energy by using as much solar energy as possible. (more…)

Worldwide Atomic Solar-Powered Watch

There’s no question, watches are really useful. However, two things that I really I hate about watches is needing to replace expensive batteries periodically, and needing to ensure the date and time are correct every couple of months or so. Finally there’s now a watch that remedies both problems, namely the Worldwide Atomic Solar Watch. The watch features a solar panel which charges the internal watch battery, which when fully charged, will run the watch for up to 7 months without being charged again! (more…)

Fly-catching Insect-Powered LED Clock

Well, there are mud powered clocks, water-powered clocks, solar-powered clocks, so its not much of a stretch to see a bug-eating insect-guts powered clock! Created by designers Jimmy Loizeau and James Auger, the gadget harvests bugs from a sticky conveyor belt. The captured insects are then deposited on to a microbial fuel cell for digestion. (more…)

Timeless Garden – A Clock that Runs on Mud

We’ve almost seen it all, a water-powered clock, a lemon-powered clock, now we have a mud-powered clock! Designed by Francesco Castiglione Morelli and Tommaso Ceschi, the Timeless Garden uses the chemical reaction between metal and mud to generate enough electricity to power a clock! (more…)

Liquid-Powered Digital Clock

The Mini Hydro Clock is a small clock (about 2.5cm by 5cm) which simply displays the time. No alarm function, no date or calendar information. Just the time.

However, what is interesting is that you can power it with any fluid you like, including water, juice, milk and beer. I imagine that the smell from the milk when it goes off will be pretty nasty though! Considering you can use almost any water-based solution to power the clock without batteries…. you could use urine too!
