Ladyfractic is Ladybacktic with a really interesting 80s retrotech product; a digital watch that can be powered by water, or even beer. But will it work? And where will she find a beer?...

Your PowerUp! Early Access: https://youtu.be/iCI59Ns1svc

This video came out surprisingly short, but there was really nothing more to say, and we're not keen on padding out videos just for the sake of it, so here it is in all its under nine minute glory! It will be interesting to see if that hurts or helps the algorithm!

As for the "how it works" explanation, if you're more expert in understanding this device than us please feel free to correct our admittedly simpified explanation of the goings on inside the watch's battery cell. It was based on a lot of research, but still feels like magic.

Just for fun here's one of the alternate AI thumbnail ideas DALL-E 3 came up with. (In the end we went for a cleaner look, blended with a real photo of Ladyfantastic and of the watch.)

Thank you for your ongoing support, and for when our water watch hits midnight in a few days, happy new year to you and yours! 🎉Cheers! 🍻

Your friends in retro, Peri and Ladyfractic
