I used to own a "Two Potato Clock" back when I was a kid. It would run on potatoes, oranges, even water. It was fun for about a week, or until the potatoes really began to stink.

This is a pretty old thing... I remember everyone had a fruit clock about eight years ago... In my experience they worked fairly well, especially with citrus fruits. At least until the acid from the fruit started to corrode the metal prongs.
