Fly Paper Clock by James Auger & Jimmy Loizeau
Inspired by carnivorous plants, the duo of designers, James Auger and Jimmy Loizeau, has created the prototype of a wall clock which utilizes this unique source of energy. Instead of electricity derived from batteries or solar panels, the power of the Fly Paper Clock is supplied by flies.
The insects are attracted to a trap – a revolving sheet of paper – in which they get stuck and afterwards killed by a special substance. The consequential organic material will be converted into energy due to the specific system conceived by the designers. It takes eight flies to supply the clock for twelve hours.
Controversial opinions will certainly arise. Watch the video and send us your impressions.
