As I was reading a business proposal on the Dreamtime Alarm Clock (by Charlotte Verbeke, Karen Van Overbeke and Lore Ott), I found myself thinking I really liked their idea. But personally, as a person whose mornings are strictly orchestrated by the minute, I don’t think this clock is precise enough for me. Additionally, I’m not too keen on the design and the construction simply looks too complicated to me.
Frolicking through the internet, I came across a similar alarm clock with a less complicated design: the Bedol Drop Water Clock. Just like the Dreamtime Alarm Clock, this device is powered by water albeit with a less complicated construction. To power up the clock, you simply unscrew the base and fill it with clean water. The water only has to be changed every six months.
According to the website of Bedol Technology, their clock converts ions in the water into energy. A built-in memory chip remembers the time, so that you don’t have to reset the clock when changing out the water supply. This clock sounds like a great green way to wake up!
On top of all that, the clock (which is shaped like a drop of water), is relatively small and could easily be taken with you as a travel clock.
The Bedol Drop Water Clock is for sale on the company’s website. It costs about $29 (which converts to +- €22) and can be ordered in several colors.
