					<description>So, it simulates it, instead of doing it for real?  I love little science toys.:)</description>

					<description>To be fair, the linked &quot;water powered clock&quot; does in fact include an accurate, though lightweight, description of how it works, which follows: 

&quot;The patented technology simulates a basic battery concept where two electrodes consisting of specially formulated alloys, one positive the other negative, are immersed in water. As soon as water comes in contact with both electrodes an electrochemical reaction takes place resulting in the production of electrical energy.&quot;

I'm not sure why they feel the need to mention it's patented or even how they managed to get a patent for what is essentially the same technology as every wet-cell ever made, but hey, at least they explain that it's not the water doing the work.</description>
