Hi Marty. Thanks for the video. It helped me give a further explanation to the quartz crystals in watches and how they work. Your hands on approach is really helpful.
Hey can you help me explain how this thing communicates its vibration back to the clock? I get that it has two wires connected to it (let's call this the input) to provide it with a specific frequency, but how does the clock get the output of the Quartz? Does it go over the same two wires as the input? That'd be confusing... (For the rest it was seen to be isolated by a metal tube) Thanks for the tear-down video.
I am a bit vague about this myself. The way I understand it, any small input voltage across the pins of the oscillator will have inherent random fluctuations. These will start the oscillator vibrating and this will build and drive the voltage oscillation to the crystals resonant frequency on top of the base line supply voltage. So you measure the oscillation using the same pins.Which is, as you say, confusing
This is an older video and I love that explanation of why they are used in clocks because of the divide by circuitry can bring the pulses to 1 pulse/sec. I have been able to check any XTAL except for thes little tuning forks. I have tried many circuits like colpitts but just cant seen to see a reading from these on my scope.
Dear Mr JOPSON, I rarely comment on anything but now I sincerely hope that you are, or were a teacher/ professor because you have that wonderful ability to make anything delightfully interesting. And if you are not, please find a way to do so because we need passionate, knowledgeable and yet entertaining people like you to teach and prove our younglings that it is easier to fall in love with science/ a learning field, rather than it is to hate the teacher. It should be. Thank you.
Ha! Not a teacher - I'm a science communicator and my job is talking to people about science. So not quite a teacher, more about entertaining people with science. But thanks for your comments.
Beautifully simplistic. I had been googling the crap out of the quartz in a clock and everything stated it looked like a tuning fork but still I drew a blank…until just now. Thank you. Any chance you are available for baby sitting two boys aged 5 and 7 that keep asking me questions like what is a quartz clock… make that 3 boys as I’m quite interested in all stuff that nobody pays attention to because we live in a world where others more interested in such things, take care of such things so others don’t have to, kinda thing
As the quartz relaxes, it emits a pulse of electricity. This is partially used to keep the quartz vibrating by feeding it back into it. But it is also used to provide a signal that is fed into a digital divider that produces a once per second pulse to drive the clock.
Marty Jopson holy fuck yes, squeezing A crystal creates electricity so the movement caused by electricity will cause an extra release of electricity ! Thanks..... I'm just waiting for my time Crystal watch which pulses by itself without power !!!
Hi Hanniffy Thanks for your reply and thanks for watching the clip. This is the piezo electric effect - deform quartz and it produces electricity, but also in reverse, apply electricity to quartz and it deforms (changes shape). It's really just a cunning way of converting mechanical energy directly to electrical without the need of magnets. The quartz in your watch uses the power from the battery to set up the vibration and maintains it with a constant extra trickle. The emitted pulses are used to a) time the insertion of that continued electrical trickle and b) provide a time signal. Apologies if that was not made clear. On a separate note, there is no need to be so sarcastic and rude. Maybe if you had phrased your response more politely it would have been altogether nicer for us both. In future if you don't understand a response, maybe mocking sarcasm is not the best way to continue the dialogue. Respectfully yours Marty
Marty Jopson lol, I'm British, so it's like a cultural thing, being sarcastic, ironic and swearing lot ! th-cam.com/video/s_osQvkeNRM/w-d-xo.html 👍😂😎😝😱

º.º Man, i smell *danger* never ever bring a car battery to the beach ?; if it accidentally is turned upside down,we might get quite an earthquake from all kinds of frequencies, until the whole shiband goes up in flames, right? guess not,been a few years now... lol
Hey! Nice vid you are entertaining, what no more vids? Collab with eev vlogs or mikes electric stuff or ashens or photolectrinosnshsuw. You are awesome mate
Oh and I arrived to your vid because it was the most accurate (title) one for what I wanted to know. I was thinking about this because I was thinking about the Human Heart, and the human heart is kind of the purpose of a crystal because well idk. I was just thinking about the human heart. Not the pump mechanics but the way it works electronically speaking
Ok i arrived to this si·no·a·tri·al node ˌsīnōˌātrēəl ˈnōd/ nounANATOMY a small body of specialized muscle tissue in the wall of the right atrium of the heart that acts as a pacemaker by producing a contractile signal at regular intervals. So this is kind of like the crystal ok but how does that SA gets it energy, like is it like a special component that does it automatically? I mean this website my.clevelandclinic.org/services/heart/heart-blood-vessels/how-does-heart-beat explains medically how it works but I wanted to know the explanation of Engineer work. I see some capacitors and resistors there and some controllers and all that but is not clear. Do you think you can explain Electronically Engineer speaking how the heart works? The first thing is, How does the SA works by itself well, I think the brain sends an impulse but what if the human has a death brain, how does the heart still pumps. So where does the energy to make the SA still works. This thing is making me crazy I need to study more

Well it is
@@martyjopson I bought a Kindle edition of your book! I took your word for it.
@@ziad8947 Why thank you
Bloody precious three and a quarter minutes, mr. Jopson.
Thank you very much.
My pleasure. 😎
Couldn't you have found a old broken clock from somewhere instead of destroying a brand new clock?
You ruined a perfectly working clock, only to tell us we should buy your book.
That's capitalism for you

So run electricity through it then!
I can't find this anywhere on the internet...
It will vibrate
I have no idea what you are talking about
That is a brilliant moustache.

Can you shed some light on how exactly Bulova 262Khz works and What is their 3 pronged Quartz crystal.

Can you see it vibrate when its running?
No - it vibrates far too rapidly!
@@martyjopson I guessed that it was too fast to follow but wondered if the magnitude of the vibration was enough to make the edges appear blured?
sweet, I just came into the video sipping on my coffee and then setting it down when you did
Synchronicity
Resonating "tuning fork," to tune a piano. Crystal oscillator for resonant circuit, that's the "harmonic.
Yeah - totally
Thank you for that
no problem
Brilliant and informative, thank you.
Thank you

I like to think of it as clear and concise. But I'll take simplistic.
Sorry - don't do babysitting ;-)
How do you pick up the vibration of Quartz into a signal ?
As the quartz relaxes, it emits a pulse of electricity. This is partially used to keep the quartz vibrating by feeding it back into it. But it is also used to provide a signal that is fed into a digital divider that produces a once per second pulse to drive the clock.

Hi
How can I Make
24 Hours And 45 Minutes Clocks Measurement
Let's Say For Other Planets
well Actually My Circadian Rhythm Is 24 Hours and about 48 Minutes on Average
I have Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder
Dspd Non-24 Hours
some People Call Me Martians
I Know It Is Frustrating To Wake Up 45 Minutes Later Every Day
But I accepted This As a 32-year-Old
i am interested To Make Clock That Tracks My Body clock
Do You Know Any Html Or JavaScript Or Any Other Codes To make
or Is there any Html Codes Of Martian Time
That I Can change It From 39 Minutes To 45-48 Minutes?
If Not
How Can I Slow Down A Quartz Clock To Run little Slower
let's say Capacitor or Resistors
3% Percent Slower
But Not Pendulum Clocks
Cuz That's The Easiest One
Thank You So Much, Sir
I hope You Have Some Solutions For Me
Sorry mate - don't think I can help with that one.
Good explaination ....
thank you
Keep it up ..... +fiscovery ...from india

Great video, thanks. Subscribed
Thanks
No offence man, not gonna buy your book, gonna look for some other vids explaining it.
Your loss
WHAT!? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! THAT SHIT IS INCREDIBLE!!
Um - yes indeed
Super! Beatiful. Me always broke:-(.
Yup...

At least desolder it :(
Hmm - Not sure why I would bother doing that.
Hello James May's (much better looking) brother.
