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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
