    I never thought that the working of a simple clock would be so complicated. It seriously makes me wonder how many things I take for granted.

      Think about how unobtainable clocks have been throughout human history.
      We used to make clock towers because no one could individually own a clock. Grandfather clocks where once seen as miraculously small and compact. There was a period of time when people with pocket watches got paid to wake up people for work because no one else had a clock. It was a dangerous job because you could get mugged for your pocket watch if people realized you where carrying one.
      In retrospect it's kinda insane that we have extremely accurate clocks on so many electronics.

      @@justinsemple7454 It always blows my mind to think of how astonishing a grandfather clock is and how combersome and clumsy it is compared to the amazing pocketwatch which is so bulky and inaccurate compared to the brilliance of a modern wrist watch which is nowhere near as precise as the Cesium-133 clocks nearly every device on Earth is miraculously syncronized with. These things fire me up for life and get me so hyped for our future!

    Being an electrical engineer who spent hours understanding these concept via books and class lectures on white boards. I applaud you sir for breaking things down to such simplicity and easy to swallow portions. Honestly I am amazed how you made these concepts so digestible.
    Concept + design + real world example of the concept, this is not something everyone can do.
    Wow! Lots of love and respect! 🙇‍♂️
    Keep up the amazing work!
    P.S. I am certain, if universities would teach the concepts in this manner, students would be able to not only understand concepts much better, they would be more skillful graduates than they currently are.

    One of the best educational channels on RUclips. Beautiful animations with just enough detail to understand the concepts, while moving fast enough that you can cover complex topics quickly. Giving all the keywords allows people to do their own more detailed research if they want to.
    Quick question: How does the time setting gear slip (3:20) without causing damage to the gear system? It looks like the minute gear is composed of two parts, which allows it to slip without damaging the gear, but it's not completely clear how the gears stay connected while still allowing them to slip.
    On another note, I've researched this topic before. Conceptually, I understand the feedback loop and signal multiplier, but I think I'm missing enough knowledge of electrical circuits to understand how to actually build and design one of these circuits myself. I guess I'll just be thankful that these types of circuits come in integrated packages so I don't ever need to design one myself.

    • @BranchEducation
      @BranchEducation  11 месяцев назад +7

      Yeah- it's a really great question and while I don't have 100% the definitive answer, my theory is that it comes down to the difference of torque. When the electromagnet is driving, due to the heavy gear reduction, there's a lot more torque. This is similar to how when you drive a manual car in a lower gear, you have more torque for pulling heavy objects. Whereas if you're pulling something in a higher gear, you have less torque, and the wheels are more likely to slip (which is like driving the clock gears from the time setting gear).

    • @pratyushjayachandran
      @pratyushjayachandran 11 месяцев назад +3

      The adjustment wheel when turned causes one of the gears to slip up or down and go out of mesh with the rest of the gear train. I presume, it is to prevent driving the motor/magnet which turns the assembly at very high speeds. Since one swoop of adjustment wheel will translate to hundreds of rotations, that too within a fraction of second.
      It is a bit difficult explain but if you open one up you will understand why. You can feel the slack when you jiggle the adjustment wheel.

    1:45 How does the motor work?
    I mean how does the design ensure the rotor keeps rotating in one direction just by flipping the polarity of the magnetic field?
    From my understanding the rotor could flip orientation by rotating clockwise and anti-clockwise

    Analog clocks are always the best! I have understood that the pendulum or balance wheel driven by leaver escapement are replaced by small peizo electric motor (which consists of resistors that controls and gradually passes the DC 1.5 V electric power from battery to small tuning fork shaped quartz crystal oscillator that vibrates at a frequency of 32,768 Hz sealed in small cylindrical metal container which is connected to a chain of 15 flip flops so that it passes the vibration to the chain in which each flip flop is 2 transistors kept crossing each other that reduces the frequency to 1 Hz and passes to microprocessor chip and the chip passes the power to solenoid coil wound over tuning fork shaped soft iron piece between whose prongs a small pinion with a magnet in it's base that rotates for each second by electro magnetic power called rotor sprocket is placed) and the mainspring barrel is replaced by battery but the 60 : 12 : 1 gear train in the centre of the clock that drives it's hands function in the same priciple as in spring driven clocks but miniatured in size.

    While it's not the focus of the video, I do wonder what prevents the drive gear in the analog clock from spinning in the opposite direction. There needs to some sort of bias or it'd be basically random in which direction it turns. Is it simply the small offset to the electromagnet?

    When I was a kid, I wanted to work in the watchmaking industry, this video rekindled the fascination I had with watches. Thank you for the high production value!
