Editorial Review
Not your standard garden-variety timepiece, this unusual digital clock harnesses the power of potatoes. Safe and easy to operate, the Two Potato Clock works by capturing electricity created by a chemical reaction inside of the potato. Sure to turn heads at the office, and a great conversation starter at home, the clock never requires any batteries--only a fresh set of tubers (any variety will do) once in a while. In the event of a potato famine, substitute a number of other common household fruits and vegetables, including apples, bananas, or avocados. Instructions for assembly and clock operation are included. --Chris Burns

Customer Reviews

The perfect project!!!!!!!
We bought this clock for our 9 year olds science project and she loved it she spent 2 days going around trying every item she could think of to power it. It worked great she got a B+ and had lots of fun thanks.

bought for a science project
We bought this clock for our 4th grader to use as part of a science project. It is cheaply constructed and the clock piece does not fit nicely as pictured - it hangs down in the front by the wires. Having said that - it does work as stated. We have two potatoes that have been keeping time for a week. Too bad it is so over-priced for what it is.

Awesome gift for kids!
My 9-year-old son was awed by this clock when I gave it to him for a gift. His plan was to do a science experiment -- to see how long the clock would keep time with various objects as the power source. Ignore what the previous reviewer said, too, as he must have had a defective version. My son's clock has been running on the same potatoes for almost 6 weeks now and isn't a minute behind his atomic clock. If you're looking for something not too expensive for a science-minded kid, this is a great idea.
