If you have a friend or family member who has dedicated his/her life to the teaching profession, I have the perfect gift for him/her! Leave an apple of the desk. No, I am not taking about just any piece of fruit; I am referring to the schilling fruit powered clock.

From the science geek to the curious passerby, the fruit powered clock is unlike any apple you have ever put on a teacher's desk. Combining the natural electrical tendencies of fruit or vegetables with micro-electronic technology and you will have a renewable source of energy for what is sure to become your favorite timepiece.

For once, a useful gadget-no batteries required! Finally, you can have a gadget that does not need to be plugged in, or reset every time the power goes out. So, go ahead. Bring your favorite teacher and apple. Who knows, you might teacher him/her a thing or two about electricity's partnership with produce. A Schylling fruit powered clock cannot guarantee an A on your next assignment, but I bet you would get an A+ for originality!
