Nice – I built a pendulum clock from LEGO over 30 years ago – using the older, chunkier 70s gearing, which made an escapement quite easy :) Report comment. Reply. Foldi-One says: ...

Previously, [Vinnie] had been stopping the clock every evening, and hoped he would remember to start the pendulum in motion 12 hours later. This was a chore, so he decided to automate the process .

University Of Lisbon Scientists Solve Pendulum Clock Mystery Two professors at the University of Lisbon say they have discovered why the pendulums of clocks set on the same surface will ...

The 350-year-old mystery of why pendulum clocks hanging from the same wall can influence each other and synchronize over time may hold even more secrets than previously thought, researchers say ...

Each time that energy pulse travels, it tends to push one clock's pendulum in time with the other. The experiment takes up to 18 hours or even days to run, because the clocks synchronize slowly.

Lab experiments suggest that a strange synchronization of pendulum clocks observed in the 1600s can be chalked up to acoustic energy Jesse Emspak Christiaan Huygens was a busy scholar. Among his ...
