- This clock is on display in the British Museum in London.
The Congreve Clock has a bit of Rube Goldberg flair to it.

You have really change your video style, but even an old Video like this taught me something! keep doing what you do! I´m allready smarter today thanks to you!
I got stuck watching one of these here at the University of South Carolina for about 5 minutes. Fascinating design, just keep it in a sealed case.
12 years later, I'm still getting smarter everyday. Lord bless you, Destin.
Clock like the one in the movie "Intersection" with Richard Gere. I like the one in the move the best!! Beautiful clocks!

I went to the observatory specifically in search of the H2. Alas, they were putting together a new exhibit so it wasn't available to the public. I was sorely saddened. The Harrison story is one of my favorites. It will be an SED the next time I can make it to London for sure. Thank you for the suggestion. By using the word "whilst" I assume you're from the UK?
Wonderful Wonderful invention ever seen in my lifetime ! I say once again joyfully Wonderful invention !
@roborovskihamsters
Yep.. not right now
Cool ! I was in Greenwich this afternoon, telling a son of my firend all about pendulums, the naval influence on the development of timekeeping for navigational purposes etc. Would love to show you around if youre back in London: The observatory is a nerds delight ! lol esp. for people like us with a love of physics ! ty for the videos. Wonderful !
Awesome! Two things... 1. I would think dust wouldn't be a big issue in the enclosed case (but metal "dust" would probably still be a problem) 2. I wonder how much faster it would run if the clock were in a vacuum.
I saw that clock when my dad, brother and I were in London.
This would make a cool home machine shop project.
That's awesome, eat that rolex! I should go to London sometime, it's not far from here
StarWolf watched this.
Have you done a video about the Atmos clock?
Is it the same Congreve that invented Congreve rockets. The Royal Navy had more or less success with these whiz bangs about 1800, methinks. Great stuff on your channel Destin, keep it coming.

Not now, no
Interesting. I am already subbed.
The magic of engineering
Is there a spring or weight you have to wind everyday?
+jbrun009 Of course. There is no such thing as perpetual motion, so it must get energy from somewhere.
Anonymous User why can't it run on its own?
how much is the error of this clock?
What is dust?
I make parts for this clock
It looks like a perpetual motion machine.
[the ball takes between 15 second in one minute to run down the zigzag track]
[between 15 second in one minute]
ERROR: cannot compute

So, wouldn't this be considered perpetual?
i was thinking the same
