That big grandfather clock in the library might be an impressive piece of mechanical ingenuity, and an even better example of fine cabinetry, but we’d expect that the accuracy of a pendulum timepiece ...

Hang two pendulum clocks on the same wall, and over time, something strange will happen: the two clocks will tick in synchrony. Renowned Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens, the inventor of 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 ...

Physicists at the Ural Federal University (UrFU) have created a theory for the solidification of iron-nickel (Fe-Ni) alloy (invar). They determined that an important role in the technology of creating ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Aaron D. Crane (1804-1860) of ...

John Harrison, one of the world’s greatest clockmakers, claimed to have designed the perfect pendulum clock in the mid-18th century. Instead of being celebrated, Harrison’s plans were chastised and ...

Scientists may have finally solved a 350-year-old mystery of why pendulum clocks hanging from the same wall synchronise over time. Almost 350 years ago, Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens, inventor of ...

The 350-year-old mystery of why pendulum clocks hanging from the same wall can influence each other and synchronize over time may hold even more secrets than previously thought, researchers say.

[Vinnie] has a wonderful old clock from his grandmother; it’s an exquisite antique with a real mechanical movement and a charming set of bells that ring every hour. Unfortunately, those chimes are a ...

Christiaan Huygens was a busy scholar. Among his many achievements, the Dutch scientist figured out the shape of Saturn's rings and discovered that planet's largest moon, Titan. He founded the theory ...

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 ...
