Therefore, what possible use could they have these days?

 

 

Well they make great clocks! As you can see from the images these clocks have been made from these old hard drives and other recycled materials like the wood and fittings. They are just too cool not to be liked.

But as far as using oranges or lemons to power this clock is something that is really intriguing. Apparently the clock operates on the citrus levels of lemons or oranges via the copper and zinc of the clock but it is really intriguing if other forms of fruit will be used.

While the use of citrus fruits are something to ponder on, some people may not be that too enthusiastic about using citrus for energy. Though their odor can help raise the ambiance level of a room, it is something that consumers may find a total waste of time and energy as far as soliciting the power for the clock is concerned.

But once you find something that works and also looks great then you could have the basis of business.

Take this eco designer who has found that they are able to make a fully functional clock from recycled materials and can sell them for around $20 a piece. It’s great! Like any simple idea this has become a small business which produces a useful product while at the same time recycles anything that is lying around.

If you want something different as far as fashion and eco-friendly design are concerned, check out the eco-friendly watch offered in the market by Urwerk. The UR-202 wristwatch is a watch that is powered by air.

If you turn it over you’re going to find two turbines into the bezel controlled by a three-position switch. The turbines draw air from within the wateproof case and then the air gets into a compression chamber which powers the shock absorber of the main rotor’s winding mechanism. No batteries, and a longer mechanism life for this watch.

It is made from an old recycled bicycle chain ring, which everyone knows because it is the part that the pedals go through and the chain around. The clock face is merely a piece of printed paper, but when the whole thing is combined it just looks great.

Requires one AA battery which is included, the clock measures around seven inches across.
