Latest gadgets: Bedol water powered clock

Posted: 27 Oct 2012 05:22 AM PDT

For $25 a pop, you can now get your hands on this fully self-sustainable, environment friendly, hassle free water powered clock from Bedol. It may look rather plastic and cheap but all that is needed to keep this desk clock running for 12-14 weeks at a time is pure, tap water. It even features a built in memory chip so it doesn’t reset the time everytime you re-fill it with water, just like watering a plant.

In some respects this clock reminds me of the NoPoPo rechargeable batteries, which in itself is also a fantastic invention, I’ll let you discover what that is if you haven’t heard of it before.
