Eco-Friendly Water Powered Digital Clock
By Dan (EnviroGadget Writer) on August 29th, 2008
I recently reviewed a water powered desktop calculator, and now there’s a Water Powered Clock. Using a combination of water and salt, the clock electrodes generate a current sufficient to power the clock for quite a while. This eco gadget is bright and colourful, and it’s bound to attract attention if you’ve got it on your office desk!

I thought this was interesting so I went and read some reviews. I found out that the clock stops working after just a few weeks after the metal reaction burns out since it is ran by the electrolytes in the water mix. I don’t know if this is human error by those who review it but I thought it was pretty interesting.
It’s barely a surprise, since the clock relies on electrolysis to generate energy. That energy has to come from somewhere! Unless they do replaceable electrodes.
