Fruit powered clock

Fruit powered clockWe’ve seen clock concepts that are powered by lemons, but this here fruit powered clock is something that you can actually buy. Apple may not offer any clock products, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have an actual apple clock and pretend it’s from Jobs and Co.

This fruit clock will cost you $18 a pop, and just in case you need to be told, they warn that “The fruit is not included”. Whether it needs fresh fruit or can also run on the rotten stuff, we have no idea. Why have a clock that sucks power when you can have one that sucks fruit juice?

Digital Clock powered by lemons

Digital Clock powered by lemonsHere’s a clock for those who have no clock and a spare lemon tree in the backyard. The tree will come in handy since this clock is powered by the energy of a lemon, which will power it for a week or longer. The design is intended to remind us that nature is still our direct energy source.

When life hands you lemons and a lemon powered clock, most people would just make lemonade and get the time from the microwave. But some of us will put lemons on our clock, and through the sour sucking power of citrus, attract fruit flies until we give up this novelty clock design.

Running-powered bike is ridiculous
I don’t care who you are, you’re going to look silly riding running this thing. To make things worse, it isn’t a true bike, but rather a tricycle. The idea here is that there are no pedals, so this thing is fueled by running and a sore crotch.

When you pick up enough speed, hop on the foot holds and coast. The video below is pretty funny. What this thing amounts to is a bike sized frame being rammed up your crotch. I have no more words.
