This LED clock is a fly catcher, and it’s able to digest the caught bugs and turns them into bio-fuel to keep the clock running. This fly-catching timepiece was created by the British designers Jimmy Loizeau and James Auger.
The device has a roller covered by sticky paper that will never let fly escape from it. Corpses of the bugs will be dropped into the a microbial fuel cell, when then digested by bacteria inside and cause chemical reaction to produce power for the clock.
