Alternative Power Clocks

Because most consumer electronics energy sources are either the outlet or the battery, we tend to forget that electricity can be harvested elsewhere. While these clocks are more like science demonstrations than actual products, they still tell time like any other clock.


Water Clock, sans gravity

This does not use the same principles demonstrated in Chain Reaction, and will not level a city block even if you want it to. Survival experts and extreme travelers spending months away from places that sell AA batteries may find this useful, but then sun light is more omnipresent then water.

Clock Works on Orange (and other fruits too!)

The fruit clock also uses valuable resources to provide not much more than a casual conversation starter. Use this to answer your age old question: does an apple stripped of it electric potential taste better than an apply still ripe with power?

About



ZA is a blog about ideas: cool ideas, existent ideas, pointless ideas, crazy ideas, my ideas, your ideas, interesting ideas, funny ideas, product ideas, meaningless ideas, great ideas, shrimp ideas, etc. It’s here for people to rant, rave, share, and satisfy. Any idea here (if original) is free for you to use (I take no responsibility) as long as you credit the originator of the idea (be honest). Feel free to send me any ideas, but a blog is considered to be public disclosure so you will lose all rights to patent it. Enjoy.
