Bedol's clock is powered primarily by water, with salt and lemon juice being recommended for optimum performance. To replenish the power source, just add the aforementioned ingredients. While you're at it, why not make a [cocktail](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caf-oclock) for yourself? **Implications** - The eco-friendly clock has no need for batteries.
