Bedol Eco-Friendly Water Drop Clock by CH Contributor
by Julie Wolfson
An example of function-inspired form, the Bedol Water Clock takes the water-powered capabilities of the original and adds a new drop-shaped design. The new perky look conjures a miniature wave (or is it a fin?) in a brilliant blue color and, like the original, it tells accurate time without the need for batteries or an electrical cord.
A squeeze of lemon will make it run even longer between water changes.
The Drop Clock sells for $30 and will be available mid-August from Bedol's online store.

Brammo Enertia Electric Motorcycle Now Available

But the unusual distribution strategy is the least of reasons why the motorcycle is getting all the attention. With stats like 18 horsepower, a top speed of 55 mph, a three-hour charge time and a 45-mile range, it's the first electric motorcycle to...
