Comtoise watches, as seen here in the Comtoise Museum of master watchmaker Bernd Deckert, are a French pendulum clock from the French region of Franch-Comte. While they are beautiful antiques, they ...
Using this design, you can construct an electromagnetically impulsed pendulum clock with a 1-second beat. On the prototype, the pendulum rod is 115cm long with a bob adjusted to make it beat every ...
As a rule, Donald Saff doesn’t collect clocks he can’t see inside of. It’s the harmonic entanglement of gears—and the skill needed to craft them—that first lured him to horology, the study of ...
A new project has been published to the Hackster.io website this week from Jeremy Cook, who has created a unique single nixie pendulum POV clock powered by an Arduino Nano microcontroller together ...
Whatever kind of clock you’re interested in building, you’re going to need to build an oscillator of some sort. Whether it be a pendulum, a balance wheel, or the atomic transitions of cesium or ...
In the 17th century, Christiaan Huygens, inventor of the pendulum clock, noticed a curious phenomenon. When two identical pendulum clocks are mounted next to each other on a wall, their swings ...
Dr Hugh Hunt is a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. He has been 'Keeper of the Clock' since 2004. He is a mechanical engineer and applies his knowledge of mechanics and instrumentation to the ever ...
