Showing the accelerometer. The matrix anode pins are connected directly to Arduino pins employing the long leads on 150Ohm resistors to keep the wiring simple.
Clock and jeweler historian Paul Middents gave a half-hour talk discussing the history of street clocks in Seattle and Bremerton, and focusing on the life and career of Joseph Mayer. Mayer manufactured perhaps 100 street clocks in addition to manufacturing spoons, urns, trophies, medals, streetcar tokens and other items.
The audience at the Kitsap County Historical Society was comprised of street clock fans and experts from around the country.
We visited the clock on the screen the previous day: www.flickr.com/photos/tigerzombie/15335618391/in/photostr...
Antique clock in the the Embassy of Luxembourg (1908, J. Henri de Sibour and Bruce Price) at 2200 Massachusetts Avenue NW in Washington, DC. In the mirror behind the clock, you can see the ornate chandelier.
The working clock is the oldest in the world. It is made with thousands of varieties of flowers and is re-created each year designed to commemorate special occasions. This year it celebrates the centenary of Edinburgh Zoo.
It was invented by John McHattie of Edinburgh Parks and was first planted up in the spring of 1903 in West Princes Street Gardens. In that year it had only an hour hand but a minute hand was added the following year. It was soon imitated across the United Kingdom and later throughout the world. Here the clock mechanism is set inside the plinth of the statue to Allan Ramsay adjacent. There is also a cuckoo which calls each hour.
I built this working cuckoo clock out of Lego bricks. It's using a quartz movement that I modified to work with the lego bricks.
The clock was designed in Bricksmith and I bought most of the parts through Bricklink.
A video of the clock in action is available at Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v3BFXiamNA

It was a non-working clock which I wanted to hang up for display. After a while, I felt something amiss. A clock is not a clock if it does'nt work! So I took it apart and do some fixing, to my surprise I managed to get it ticking again ! I was totally fascinated From there I got my second, third and so on....
My favourite has to be the 400 day clock
Amazing time piece and fun to repair Next in line is those of the electromechanical design type
I love the working principles
At the time of writing, my collection is still growing....but has grind to a halt as my interest is now focus on nature photography
A work in progress, this device uses a 3" cathode ray tube to display the current time. Each letter is built up from individual line segments. Anode voltage is roughly 1200V, and the entire clock runs from a 5VDC power supply.
The astronomical clock in the north transept, erected in the 1950s as a memorial to those who lost their lives in the Second World War. The painted figurative details are the work of local artist Harry Stammers.
York Minster is England's largest medieval cathedral and almost impossible to do justice to. It has an awesome presence that cannot fail to impress.
Uniquely the cathedral was spared the ravages of the Civil War that decimated the medieval art of most English cathedrals and churches, and it thus possesses the largest collection of medieval glass in Britain throughout most of it's vast windows.
This is one of the dials of the Prague Astronomical Clock, which dates from 1410. It's to be found on the southern wall of the Old City Hall. The dial's background represents the Earth and sky, and surrounding it are the zodiac ring, an outer rotating ring, an icon representing the sun, and another representing the moon. The four figures flanking the clock face are set in motion when the clock strikes on the hour.
It's the world's oldest astronomical clock still in operation. And it's in an absolutely beautiful setting.
It's almost time for the Instructable EPILOG laser cutter contest to start again, and I'm planning on writing up the process for this great new clock I've been working on.
For STDW #5 my topic was clocks. I wanted to get a old and rustic look and I think I achieved it well. I love the rustic gears and how the corners are vignette.
The case of this clock is by Hans Coenraadt Breghtel (1608-75) with movement by Adriaan van den Bergh. It is from the Hague in 1650-75 and is partially gilded silver.
It appears in the V&A exhibition Baroque: Style in the Age of Magnificence.
This clock was made for display as a masterpiece of design and technical virtuosity. The exceptionally fine goldsmiths' work includes richly embossed floral ornament and also silver filigree, a technique of Chinese origin. The design, with complex references to the zodiac, the seasons and the passing of time, presents the clock as a Temple of Life.
V&A Museum no. 92-1870

China made mechanical alarm clock, one day winding with moving hen's head while the clock is running. This is a female clock :)
