Karlsson Projection Clock

 

Just few years ago, you may be looking at the wall clock for time. Now, you will be doing the opposite. To know the time, you can simply look at the clock wall, on the ceiling or on top of your desk. You can basically look at anywhere if you want to know the time!

The Karlsson Projection Clock is an innovation that is powered by mains. It projects the image of a clock to any flat surface using LED light. If you could not make up your mind where to place your clock, or if you have a landlord so mean that he disallows his tenants to put a single nail on his walls, the Karlsson Projection Clock may be of great help. Besides, this magical gadget can project the image of a clock to a surface as far as 8 meters.

Other than that, there is a magical stand that comes with the product, allowing you to fix it on your desk or table. Unlike other projection clocks which functions only at night, the Karlson Projection Clock is visible even in daylight! This projection clock is energy-saving because of its low power consumption which requires only an AA-sized battery. It has a LED life span of up to 40,000 hours.

In conclusion, this fancy Karlsson Projection Clock is safer with the LED technology. Using this technology also implies that it allows the environment to remain cool, due to its low energy exerted. Its durability makes this £69.99 gadget a smart buy! If you deem yourself a smart consumer, then get this gadget!

How do you fancy having a clock powered by fruit? Well that’s the latest eco-friendly gadget available from Urban Outfitters Direct. Priced at just $9.99, the Fruit Powered Digital Clock and Calendar utilizes micro-electric technology combined with the natural potential energy in fresh fruit or veg to produce a fully working digital clock. One problem I foresee is the reliability of the fruit powered clock and how fresh your fruit has to be for it to work efficiently.

Its about time we posted some more eco friendly gadgets, so here goes. Let me introduce to you the Mini Hydro Clock.  I can’t really say much about its features as it doesn’t have an alarm clock or date setting like other clocks, however it is very good and reliable at displaying the time. How is it so good? Well the Mini Hydro Clock is able to tell the time well after its power source has ran out by using an alternative duel source.

We have posted about other eco friendly gadgets before, for example the Water Powered Calculator that is powered by water, however the small Hydro powered Clock pushes the boundary a little bit further in that it can be powered by any liquid be it milk, beer, or coke. Personally, I would just stick to water though.

At 1″ by 2″ its small and compact and more useful as a desk clock, but the attractive nature of the clock has to be that no batteries are required.
