142. Huygens' Clocks M. Bennett, MF Schatz, H. Rockwood, and K. Wiesenfeld, Huygens clocks , to appear in Proceedings (A) of the Royal Society (2001). ( PDF format.). http://www.physics.gatech.edu/schatz/clocks.html

A 336 year-old synchronization puzzle explained In 1657, Christiaan Huygens revolutionized the measurement of time by creating the first working pendulum clock. In early 1665, Huygens discovered ``..an odd kind of sympathy perceived by him in these watches [two pendulum clocks] suspended by the side of each other.'' The pendulum clocks swung with exactly the same frequency and 180 degrees out of phase; when the pendulums were disturbed, the antiphase state was restored within a half-hour and persisted indefinitely. Huygens deduced that the crucial interaction for this effect came from ``imperceptible movements'' of the common frame supporting the two clocks. He thought this synchronization could be used to provide the exquisite timing necessary to solve the famous ``longitude problem'' in maritime navigation and spent many years developing and testing designs for pendulum clocks that function at sea. Ultimately, the innovation of the pendulum clock did not solve the longitude problem. Nevertheless, Huygens' synchronization observations have inspired modern studies of sympathetic oscillations in many areas of nonlinear science. Previous attempts to understand Huygens' findings are few and ultimately unsatisfying. Our experiments and our theoretical model reproduce Huygens' observations. The pendulums are attracted to the antiphase state, never the inphase state. As Huygens surmised, the platform motion is the culprit: if we prevent the platform from moving, there is no synchronization at all. Our analysis shows that damping effects favor antiphase motion, since inphase oscillations induce additional counter-motion of the frame. And while the clock escapements can transfer energy into the inphase mode, it is never enough to overcome this frictional disadvantage.

146. Clocks & Timepieces clocks Are Us . Welcome to My wife (KL) and I have been collecting and restoring clocks timepieces for about 14 years. Our main http://webpages.charter.net/time-saver/

"Clocks Are Us" We collect and restore clocks and timepieces only as a hobby (an all consuming one at times). We are providing this information on the web in an effort to promote interest in preserving these important pieces of American history, as well as to provide reference material to folks who may be interested. The historical data included within is as accurate as I can provide at this time. If there is additional information, or corrections you can provide, please email your ideas to me. I am constantly updating the data sheets, as more information is acquired. Please note, that our interests are in preserving horological items, we do not sell pieces from our collection or provide online appraisals Although all of these clocks and timepieces are not antiques, they are still equally as important to us, as some of them have been passed down from family members. My hopes are that some day, this collection and the information contained within will be passed down in my family, and the data provided will at least give some background as to what the items are, and how they were acquired . If you have any questions or comments, be sure to drop me, or KL an Email by clicking one of the Email buttons below.

The History of Clocks The history of clocks is very long, and there have been many different types of clocks over the centuries. Not all historians agree on the history of the clock. The word clock was first used in the 14th century (about 700 years ago). It comes from the word for bell in Latin ("clocca"). Using the Sun The first way that people could tell the time was by looking at the sun as it crossed the sky. When the sun was directly overhead in the sky, it was the middle of the day, or noon. When the sun was close to the horizon, it was either early morning (sunrise) or early evening (sunset). Telling the time was not very accurate. Sundial Clocks The oldest type of clock is a sundial clock, also called a sun clock. They were first used around 3,500 B.C. (about 5,500 years ago). Sundials use the sun to tell the time. The shadow of the sun points to a number on a circular disk that shows you the time. In the big picture below on the right, the shadow created by the sun points to 9, so it is nine o'clock. Since sundials depend on the sun, they can only be used to tell the time during the day.

152. Magnetic Stripes And Isotopic Clocks [This Dynamic Earth, USGS] USGS Magnetic stripes and isotopic clocks. Oceanographic exploration in the 1950s led to a much better understanding of the ocean floor. http://pubs.usgs.gov/publications/text/stripes.html

Magnetic stripes and isotopic clocks Oceanographic exploration in the 1950s led to a much better understanding of the ocean floor. Among the new findings was the discovery of zebra stripe-like magnetic patterns for the rocks of the ocean floor. These patterns were unlike any seen for continental rocks. Obviously, the ocean floor had a story to tell, but what? An observed magnetic profile (blue) for the ocean floor across the East Pacific Rise is matched quite well by a calculated profile (red) based on the Earth's magnetic reversals for the past 4 million years and an assumed constant rate of movement of ocean floor away from a hypothetical spreading center (bottom). The remarkable similarity of these two profiles provided one of the clinching arguments in support of the seafloor spreading hypothesis. A team of U.S. Geological Survey scientists geophysicists Allan Cox and Richard Doell, and isotope geochemist Brent Dalrymple reconstructed the history of magnetic reversals for the past 4 million years using a dating technique based on the isotopes of the chemical elements potassium and argon. The potassium-argon technique like other "isotopic clocks" works because certain elements, such as potassium, contain unstable, parent radioactive isotopes that decay at a steady rate over geologic time to produce daughter isotopes. The rate of decay is expressed in terms of an element's "half-life," the time it takes for half of the radioactive isotope of the element to decay. The decay of the radioactive potassium isotope (potassium-40) yields a stable daughter isotope (argon-40), which does not decay further. The age of a rock can be determined ("dated") by measuring the total amount of potassium in the rock, the amount of the remaining radioactive potassium-40 that has not decayed, and the amount of argon-40. Potassium is found in common rock-forming minerals, and because the potassium-40 isotope has a half-life of 1,310 million years, it can be used in dating rocks millions of years old.

Here is a "virtual museum" containing the bulk of my collection of old and antique American clocks. Most of these clocks are not for sale I just wanted to share them with other clock enthusiasts and the curious. However, the realities of collecting and limited shelf space have forced me to sell some of my collection through the Deux Amis Trading Company . Clocks that are for sale are marked as such. Clocks not marked are not for sale. The category titles on this page are links to thumbnail photographs and more detailed descriptions. The descriptions contain the sorts of details about condition and history that collectors find interesting I hope you find the interesting and informative, too.
