how can a fruit power a clock?

What you are doing is building a battery, an acid based battery.  take a lemon, get a strip of copper and a strip of zinc from chemistry class, or use pennies and dimes.  insert the metal stips in opposite sides of the fruit and connect a wire to each strip.  with this you will get about a .5volts, take 2 or three and wire is series and you can light a small flashlight bulb or run a small motor.\n\nsee the following  http://www.hilaroad.com/camp/projects/lemon/lemon_battery.html

Pickles conduct electricity (and will glow like a light bulb when a current passes through them!) but I remember seeing on Mythbusters a method of creating a battery that was used in the ancient times and is relatively simple to make.\n\nEdit to your add. details: perhaps if you were to give a complete idea as to what you were doing that involves drawing electricity, magnets, and having to function as a remote control, some of us might be able to point in the right direction. Myself, I'm not sure exactly what you need.

It's called "Daylight Saving Time". It is believed to save electricity by prolonging the day with one hour.

Ask yourself what likes sunlight, warmth, and moisture...\n\nThe answer is just about everything.\n\nBacteria and mold will undoubtedly start happily reproducing on your fruit.  A passing animal may happily go for it.  And failing that, the fruit itself will probably be happy to start trying to turn into a plant - that's what the fruit is FOR (at least as far as most trees are concerned), after all!

One product that needs improvement is the digital alarm clock.  It should have direct entry for time and alarm\nset.  Instead of this holding down two tiny buttons and waiting and then going past the time accidentally and having to go round again.... Should be you just push a "set time" button, push 6, push 0, push 0, push "set," and you're done.  Ditto for alarm.\n\nThey have this for microwave ovens, for example.  So there is nothing new to invent, electronically, only it's application to digital clocks.\n\nThe direct entry digital clock would be manufactured just like what we have now, only with the small bit of circuitry needed, and would definitely "sell itself" just by having the feature.

Item List:\n\n1. Potato \n2. Plate \n3. 2 pennies \n4. 2 galvanized nails \n5. Three(3) 8 inch lengths insulated copper wire, each with 2 inches of the insulation stripped off one end \n\nHow to do it\n\nFirst, cut a potato in half and put the two halves on a plate so they stand on their flat ends. The plate is there to keep your table clean. Then, wrap the end of one piece of wire around a galvanized nail and wrap the end of a second piece of wire around a penny. Stick the nail and penny into one half of the potato so that they're not touching each other. Next, wrap the third piece of wire around the other penny and put it into the other half of the potato. Put the other nail into the second half of the potato, but this nail should not have wire wrapped around it. Now, connect the wire from the penny on the first half of the potato to the nail that has no wire on it in the second half of the potato. Finally, touch the free ends of the wires to the battery section of the item you are trying to power. One wire goes to the positive(+) connection and the other wire goes to the negative(-) connection.\n \nDoes it work? \n\nYou'll probably have to try connecting the wires to the item in different ways to get the energy to flow through it in the right direction. It's just like putting batteries into a clock; they have to go in the right way.

so it can produce fruit, therefore seeds, and multiply. Without fertilisation a plant cannot do that, and would die out.

Take a battery operated clock - preferrably one with day and year - and attach it to the outside door of the refrigerator.  Insert leftovers.  At this point your frige is a time machine.  Attach to wrist if you wish. To go forward in time. step inside refrigerator...( leave door open) wait one hour. Eat leftovers while waiting. When you come out  you will have jumped one hour into the future.

Your clock is not working.  Get some batteries for it.

Hi there,\nNo plant or for that matter, no organism on earth can work like that 24hrs to produce oxygen. Actually no plant has any "commitment" to produce oxygen at all. Oxygen is actually a byproduct of the mechanism called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is how plants and other organisms that have the green pigment Chlorophyll, produce their food. Oxygen is relesed as a byproduct in this process consisting of a series of reactions. All plants work like this during to produce food (carbohydrates, proteins, etc) during day time just because they can utilise the sun's light energy as much as possible. But once night falls, these plants stop this process of "food making" and go to "sleep". During thiese hours of night, they respire just like  any other animal. They take in Oxygen and give out CO2. The Peepal tree is no exception. And if they do try working 24x7 as INdian MYths say, they will soon be exhausted, because the energy required for photosynthetic processes is supplied by the process of "respiration". \nPeepal got its false fame in Hindu literature just because it is considered a holy tree- a tree of enlightenment since ancient times.

Yes, in a manner of speaking.\n\nHere's a link to Wards Scientific suppliers for their "2 potato clock"\nhttp://www.wardsci.com/Product.asp_Q_cm_E_1_A_pn_E_IG0003379

Berries and most fruit will give you energy and fiber.

The same amount of time as it would outside of the cupboard.  It's a gas the fruit gives off that causes ripening.

most motherboards have a watch battery the size of a quarter that runs the clock. the battery may be in need of replacement. some are easy to get to others are buried behind other components. if you are uneasy with opening the pc either forget the clock or take itto a shop, for what shops charge i would live without the clock.
