A '''water powered clock''', despite its name, is actually not powered by water<ref>http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071123033259AAp8Nwp</ref>. It is quite different from a [[water clock]] or clepsydra (Greek kleptein, to steal; hydro, water) which is operated by means of a regulated flow of liquid. |

The water powered clock |

In a water powered clock, water is actually used as the conducting agent that completes the [[electrical circuit]] for the clock. A slowly dissolving piece of [[Zinc]] is used as the source of energy that powers the clock<ref>http://blog.onlineclock.net/water-powered-clock-myth/</ref>. Usage life will vary depending on the amount of Zinc, which could be from months to several years<ref>http://www.amazon.com/Bedol-Water-Powered-Clock/product-reviews/B001E0IMC8/ref=cm_cr_dp_hist_1?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&filterBy=addOneStar</ref>. |
