[Stephen Hobley] has been experimenting with an electromagnetic pendulum in order to build himself a clock. Through the course of his experiments, he has learned quite a bit about how pendulums ...

Contentedly ticking away in a specially built shed in Nannup, Western Australia is possibly the largest working wooden tower clocks in the world. Built predominantly of jarrah by local Kevin Bird, the ...

As a rule, Donald Saff doesn’t collect clocks he can’t see inside of. It’s the harmonic entanglement of gears—and the skill needed to craft them—that first lured him to horology, the study of ...

Pendulum clocks swinging in exactly the opposite direction from each other. The 350-year-old mystery of why pendulum clocks hanging from the same wall synchronize over time may finally be solved, ...

You have heard of Christiaan Huygens, haven’t you? A Dutch astronomer, inventor, physicist and mathematician, Huygens is often considered to be among the best scientific minds to have ever roamed the ...

Scientists may have finally solved a 350-year-old mystery of why pendulum clocks hanging from the same wall synchronise over time. Almost 350 years ago, Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens, inventor of ...

As fun as micro-controllers and RTCs are, sometimes it’s truly fascinating to see a completely mechanical clock. Using only gravity this Pendulum Marble Clock ...

The fact that pairs of moving pendulums can become synchronized was first observed by the great Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens back in the 17th century. But as Jonatan Pena Ramirez and Henk ...

Four years into a 15-year journey that saw Kevin Bird build what is believed to be the world's largest wooden pendulum clock, he hit a major roadblock. A proposed civic centre that was supposed to ...

The 350-year-old mystery of why pendulum clocks hanging from the same wall synchronize over time may finally be solved, scientists say. In 1665, Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens, inventor of the ...
