The question is, if I peed into my urine-powered clock before
I went to bed every night, would it provide enough power so that
it would keep good time when I woke up 8 hours later?
If so, then it could be useful. I'd spend less money on water/waste
(I'd be peeing into my clock instead of my toilet) and I'd have
a clock that I didn't have to pay electricity for.
(Yes, I could get a wind-up clock, and pee in my backyard, but
that's not the point.)
