Watch a demo of the clock that runs on liquids - water, wine, beer, juice. No batteries or AC power -- all GREEN energy.

  • @LinojiJei The ”fuel cells” are, in reality, simply containers for the water. The water or other fluid acts as a conductor for electricity created by the internal zinc battery.

  • How is this even possible? You can't generate electricity from water without adding some potential or first use eletrolyte and then a hydrogen fusion cell.

    If anyone can say how this works, i need to know, so please speak up

  • I think you'll find the amount of material used for the "plates" to make electricity is WAY more inefficient than a preamade modern battery

    While a cool gimmick this is NOT green because you put some water in it to start an inefficient battery.

  • it dosn't work..this video is 1:43 long...he starts to show the clock at 0:05 and the clock shows 9:06, at the end before the after texts the video is at 1:28 and the clock still shows 9:06... hmm..do the math

  • @jib1000 That's due to people just dumping rubbish, in non developing country's it goes through sewage treatment and back into the system, save as much electrickery as we can?

  • @shauny1994 i guess that's why everyone in the world has clean water to drink?

    There are ways to generate electricity that don't require fossil fuels. Nuclear and solar come to mind.

  • @jib1000 Water can be recycled fossil fuels to generate the electricity can't.

  • Could you please open the clock to reveal the plaques of zinc that are decomposed and actually produce the electricity (like in a Volta battery), with the water being just the electrolyte (so basically, just a "turn on" button). Thanks

  • How is wasting water, one of our most precious resources, "going green"?

  • Does it run out of "water" (batteries)?
