  Thermal Clock

  Counting to a Billion is a device created to fulfill the desire to count. The [...]

  1 Hour Sprocket Clock

  How accurate does a clock need to be? Most household clocks display time with 3 mechanical movements; the hour, on a 12 hour cycle; minutes past the hour; and seconds past the minute. How crucial is it for us to know how many seconds are past the minute? Do we need to [...]

  Ornos: Prototype 02

  Here’s the first test with Ornos. The compass readings are behaving pretty well considering it’s right underneath a spinning hard drive.
