Detailed information
Link: Princess International
The Amazing Water Clock, made by Princess International Inc, needs no battery to run. Just pour in some water or other liquids, such as coffee or soda. It uses an energy converter to extract electrons from the water molecules, giving a steady stream of electric current to drive the clock. If you use water, hard water is preferable to soft.It appears that Princess International is also responsible for the Smart Mug (Episode 63), the Flying Alarm Clock (Episode 328), and the March '06 WTHII gadget, the iPod Tripod Speakers (Episode 31), or at least a version of it.

InsideDGW
An anonymous listener has done a blog on DGW, called InsideDGW, which has multiple pictures and cross-references to earlier episodes. This "InsideDGW person" has written to Dick and Leo about the 400th Episode, "While 400 episodes of podcasts of this calibre is nothing to write home about, ... , your listeners' unrivalled optimism that life will one day be better than this, in the face of 400 pieces of solid evidence to the contrary, is a real marvel in itself and a cause for celebration."
