Ryosuke Fukusada designed COO and MOOV, a series of metal cuckoo and pendulum clocks, respectively, crafted from perforated ...

Would you believe a pendulum clock that can keep time accurately to within one second per year? If you answered “yes”, you’ve either never tried to regulate a pendulum clock yourself, or you already ...

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 ...

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 ...
