![]() You’ll surely admire the precise inner mechanisms of the model, such as the anchor escapement that controls the frequency of oscillations, the weight, the scrape-wheel, the gearing, the rubber-band, and the ratchet and pawl. Start out by building your Pendulum model using the Pocket Model’s Study Guide to discover the principles of a working mechanical pendulum. In addition to clocks and metronomes, pendulums are also used today in geological surveying, seismography, sports, and laboratory research in mechanics and physics. A Dutch physicist, Christiaan Huygens, built on Galileo’s work by using a pendulum in a mechanical clock in the 17th century. Now known as one of the most basic and reliable time-measuring mechanisms, the pendulum was first studied by Galileo Galilei, an Italian engineer at the end of the 16th century, who described how the mechanism kept oscillations, or movements back and forth at a constant speed, consistent. Whether you're interested in the mechanism that makes mechanical clocks tick or the element that keeps metronomes steady and musicians in tempo, the Pendulum is sure to give you hours of fun in construction and exploration. Get ready for measured challenge and enlightenment with this stylized educational model that makes learning the essentials and principles of working pendulums easy and entertaining for all ages. Bring a bit of Renaissance character to your desktop with this attractive wooden decorative clock and its cast of characters.It is high time to start a consistent, steady stream of fun with a UGears Pendulum STEM LAB kit.

The Old Clock Tower adds to our collection of fun mini-models and original desktop 3d puzzles and DIY mechanical models, designed with a steampunk sensibility. ![]() Mark's Square, the Prague Astronomical Clock with its procession of twelve apostles, or the Zytglogge in Bern, Switzerland. Most medieval and Renaissance clock towers have been lost to time, war, or modernization, but there are still a few that survive in European cities-for example the Torre dell'Orologio in Venice's St. Clock towers often featured interesting decorative elements and innovative engineering in the clockworks. Invented in the 11th century, clock towers could sound the alarm in case of emergency call people to worship, weddings or funerals put the wealth or importance of a city on public display and more prosaically, let townsfolk know what time it was, in an age when most people didn't own a watch or have a clock at home. Another man climbs a ladder below the clock-perhaps a cleaner or clock repairman? Behind the clock a suspicious-looking figure enters a hidden door-a thief storing his loot in the clock tower, or maybe a hunchback, bringing his lunch back? Invent your own story as you spin the gears and watch the mechanism come to life.Ĭlock towers occupied a central place in the life of medieval and Renaissance European cities. For comic effect, a man is suspended from the clock's spinning minute hand, holding on for dear life. The weather vane is a trumpeter holding on to a banner blowing in the wind. ![]() Scroll the large gear to set the hands of the clock, the pendulum, and the weather vane in motion. This beautiful DIY wooden clock tower model is a mechanical mechanism in the form of a tower with clock face, moving gears, a moving pendulum, whimsical characters, and a weather vane on top.
