Here’s how to build a pendulum-controlled clock which can be made really accurate. Retro? – yes, but an interesting project all the same. You’ll need a spare quartz clock which must be adapted by ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. After decades of experiments with the ...

You probably have seen a “swinger” clock but never guessed how it worked. Most are small metal statues standing on a base while holding a long baseball bat, pendulum or other long, thin rod that is ...

THE most accurate timekeepers of to - day are divided into two classes, depending on whether the restoring force of the oscillator is gravity, as in pendulum clocks, or elasticity, as in quartz ...

Contentedly ticking away in a specially built shed in Nannup, Western Australia is possibly the largest working wooden tower clocks in the world. Built predominantly of jarrah by local Kevin Bird, the ...

Traditional mechanical clockmaking is an art that despite being almost the archetype of precision engineering skill, appears rarely in our world of hardware hackers. That’s because making a clock ...

Put a case around it and it would be a grandfather clock but for now it’s a pendulum clock made from LEGO pieces. The video after the break shows a great overview of the build. You can see the ...

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 ...
