An alarmingly interesting alternative to batteries
Steve Taranovich - November 2, 2012
Mark Bedol, designer of the Bedol Water Clock developed his newest design, Squirt Alarm Bedol Water Clock. Featuring an alarm function, this truly eco-friendly, battery-free timepiece is powered by water. Inside of the semi-transparent water reservoir are proprietary metallic plates that allow ions in the water to be turned into current which powers the clock and alarm. Just fill with the clock with water and it will never need batteries or electricity.
