Alarm Clocks Powered By Water

FROM EARTH911.com - A new alarm clock design shuns traditional power sources like batteries and wall plugs in favor of an old, time-tested standard from the world of advertising – just add water.

It’s a fitting slogan for a design from Mark Bedol, the Los Angeles-based designer behind SkyMall-worthy, “I didn’t know I needed that” products like the checkbook calculator and 18 time zone clock.

The Bedol Water Alarm Clock is a 100 percent water-powered alarm clock. It’s not a clock “hybrid” that uses batteries or plugs for back up support, but a completely self-powered product that contains metallic plates that convert ions in the water into enough energy to power the device.

This it isn’t the first water-powered clock that looks to wake you from your slumber. Austrian Designer Vera Wiedermann has already released the hydro-powered alternative to buzzing wake up sounds.
