Horological Meanderings..Atmos

My tempurature differential driven Atmos clock is amazing piece of engineering.

Last time I bumped the speed the first week in Jan, it was running a bit slow.

I'm much closer to ideal but now a tiny bit fast.

Its gained about a minute and a half this year, I'll bump it back down around new years and see if I can can get it closer.

Get rid of that lemon by sending it to me.

It looks like it's delta temperature and delta barometric pressure driven.

Cool!!!

Correct sir, something like 1-2 degrees variation will "wind" for 3 days effectively creating endless motion on minor air temp changes.

It's not perpetual motion because it uses an external energy source even though it would be small and because well, math, but it is one of the most efficient devices I know of.

It's needed a cleaning in about 19 years of ownership.
