It is amazing how much technological progress humanity has achieved over the past few centuries. But while our capability with electronics has shot ahead, it seems that we’ve almost regressed when it comes to mechanical and electromechanical design. Watches and clocks are great examples of this, as pre-digital craftsmen were capable of astonishing feats that […]
There’s certainly no shortage of DIY clocks in the Arduino community; however, Eric Nguyen has come up with a rather unique way of showing hours and minutes: steel balls arranged as seven-segment displays. For each time change, the face rotates down and a tray of arranged balls is lifted up to meet it via a […]
Clocks normally tell you the time in your particular location, but what about that person that you know across the country or even on the other side the world? What time is it there? While it’s easy enough to do a web search or do a calculation, in order to find this out at an […]
Magnets are amazing devices, and as demonstrated by Instructables community manager Troy Hawkins (AKA “tomatoskins”), they can even be used to mysteriously tell time. His project features magnets hidden behind a classic walnut veneer to rotate a pair of ball bearings around the unique clock face. While externally minimal, there’s a lot going on inside […]
