Timeless Garden – A Clock that Runs on Mud

We’ve almost seen it all, a water-powered clock, a lemon-powered clock, now we have a mud-powered clock! Designed by Francesco Castiglione Morelli and Tommaso Ceschi, the Timeless Garden uses the chemical reaction between metal and mud to generate enough electricity to power a clock!

You can plant what you like in the clock, and grass has been chosen for this design. Not only do you remove the need for electricity, but the oxygen-generating benefits of a plant also does its bit for the environment. Going one step further, the clock itself is made from recycled plastic.

As far as eco-friendly clocks go, this has got to be the most appealing I’ve ever seen. It would be even more useful to have a larger plant pot, as well as a clock that uses the MSF signal to automatically set itself to the right time.
