1.Product Introduction: Designed and licensed by Nico71, this ball clock is inspired by the horizontal marble clock of the Idle-Tyme: the entire clock is driven by only one M motor. Located below, it drives the main lift, stirrer, ball pump, and three buttons. Therefore, the cycle depends on the battery charge level. It is accurate to a few seconds per minute, resulting in an error of 1 to 2 minutes per hour.
This is far less accurate than a quartz clock, but quite good for a ball-driven clock. It has very high playability and collectible value.Three variable-length vertical digits (one for the hours from 1 to 11 / one for the 10th of the minute from 1 to 5 / one for the minute from 1 to 9).
Ball reservoir on the bottom (39 needed balls) with a motorized agitator.
A motor-powered lift that makes one revolution every 60 seconds.
Each time a digit is full, it is reset to 0 and the extra ball goes to the next digit with a special mechanism.
When all the digits are full (11:59), all the digits are reset (00:00).
Digit reset is made with a mechanism that triggers the digit trap only when a ball is in the mechanism.
A ball pump is used to lift the balls that need it, from the minute digit to the hour's.
The period of the lifter (60 seconds) can be adjusted by removing Or add a chain link (shock absorbers stretch the whole chain to keep it straight).
The resolution of an adjustable chain link is 0.5 seconds (one chain link over a total of 114 chain links).
Accuracy is not very good, around 1-2 minutes each hour, worse than a quartz clock, of course, but a ball clock is cool, isn't it?
