Water Powered Calculator.

**r2k** · 02-06-2006, 02:45 PM

That often-misquoted phrase reminds us that not all water is potable - normally due to its high sodium content, incompatible pH level, and native plant and animal life. There are a myriad of treatment options available to you, but regardless of which one you chose, one thing is certain: you'll need math to figure it all out. And what better to help you with your calculations than a calculator. While you're at it, use water to power the calculator!

That's right - to get this calculator juiced up, just add water (regular tap or filtered water, only). A cap full of water in the H2O battery can power the calculator for up to 3 months. And this calculator isn't a wimpy, dinky thing; you get a full-function calculator with large keys and a large 12-digit display. A calculator is basic office gear, everyone needs one. Geek your calculator up a notch - make it water powered!

wow this calculator looks cool.. powered by water and price is ok.. 18 bucks.

dead4life · 02-06-2006, 02:53 PM

wtf? how is a calculator supposed to be powered by water? lol

Caveman · 02-06-2006, 02:54 PM

Chemical reaction probably.

lilcao · 02-06-2006, 03:02 PM

if they can do this I'm pretty sure there's many other possibilities

Lizh0up · 02-08-2006, 12:52 AM

i agree with lilcao, then there will be a water powered car or somethinglol

A water powered car, I think they already have one of those, the Hybrid Drive cars, but I don't think thats water I think its based around electricity.

NerveBand · 02-08-2006, 08:05 AM

Yeah, hybrids combine electricity and gas, not water. Although I have seen water powered cars...

Anyways, this is a cool idea of using energy. But most calculators use solar energy which charges the battery inside the calculator, thus saving power at all times. And assuming your not using your calculator in the dark, your calculator will most likely have battery power all the time ^_^.

So, in my point of view, it seems useless. Still, the technology seems probable for other water-powered products (Lol, iPods..)

Maybe this can replace cell batteries, like those used in hearing aids etc. The calculator is probably low consumption so that's why its easier to use as the first water powered devices.

this sounds pretty useless to me, but i guess technology is slowly making progress lol..
