The pendulum shaft should pivot on the wall and the clock should be the weight at the bottom of the pendulum shaft! All good. Looks like a hack, smells like a hack … ...

Careful assembly of the clock hands and gears leads to a seamless connection, while the sturdy stand provides perfect support for the swinging pendulum and attached weights. The clock impressively ...

@D_, in this case the pendulum IS driving the clock – I think I have seen an old IBM master clock that used the same principle. Some clocks use falling weights or springs to power the mechanism ...

A pendulum, so long as the weight is all in the bob at the bottom while air resistance, temperature ... Any pendulum clock, therefore, ...

The upper part, or hood, contained the clock itself; the middle, or waist, held the pendulum; the base provided support as well as a place for the clock's weights.

The clocks of the 17th century were not accurate, which was a problem for Dutch physicist, mathematician, and astronomer Christiaan Huygens. His work in astronomy required accurate timekeeping, and ...

Nestled in a nearly 160 foot tower, the clock is the second largest model to be made by E. Howard & Co., and its pendulum descends 14 feet beneath the mechanism itself.

On June 16, 1657, Christiaan Huygens – a Dutch astronomer, inventor, physicist and mathematician – patented a pendulum clock for the first time. A.S.Ganesh takes a look at how Huygens turned ...
