Construction Images

Some images from the construction of the clock. 100 smaller clocks were ordered from China for a very low price so not expecting that they'll be very reliable. Ideally they'd keep time but some way of keeping them in check may have to be designed.

The Final Design?

The clock will now also be vertically mounted instead of lying on the floor, giving it a bit more of a clock-like vibe.


There's a 4RPM high-torque synchronous motor behind the sprocket. That little guy has 25 teeth to the full wheel's 100 teeth. The synchronous motor is immune to voltage fluctuations so it'll be at a regular and constant speed. They're not cheap though.

Designs 2 and 3

Using a method of gearing to power the clock. The first with bicycle wheels and three seperately timed motors, and the second with cut wood and gearing.
