- Build an ancient astronomical instrument - an Armillary Sundial.
Based on technology that is thousands of years old, this device is capable of accurately displaying the time when mounted correctly in a sunny location.
Nice work. Now, if we could only figure out how to make a sun dial wrist watch.
have one
I used to have one when I was a kid. It had a plastic gnomon and a small compass to orient north, but it had two issues with it. There wasn't anything to tell you how to adjust the gnomon where you were, and I live in the southern hemisphere and it was designed for the north.
Lol!
This kind of video is why I love this channel so much. Instead of just showing how to make it and to use it in a very superficial way you teached me how it workd. Amazing video, I'll surely try to make one even though it may be quite hard to orient it since I live on the southern hemisphere hahaha
Lmao! Imagine having an ancient observatory in modern Beijing were 99% of the year you can't see any stars because of all the pollution
Another great video! Thank you for taking the time and effort to do these!
Thank you! I wasn't planning on making one until I watched your video :-) Your work goes on, RIP, Mr. Campbell.
hot dam this channel is really old, like almost 10 years and STILL GOING
With the new transcript option on you tube and this videos concise dissection of a sundial they’ve made it almost idiot proof, I’m in!
I love it when format of YT lends it self to the creators allowing a first class way to create an instructional video .
Job well done creator and You Tube!
Vey enjoyable and such a simple way for a first construction.
"The Tenosian astrological artifacts are destroyed! Now they can focus on more terrestrial matters"
Ancient Indians were first people to monitor n record the heavenly bodies,
tang dynasty have some Indian astrologers
the famous one was Gautam siddha or Qutan xida in chinese
and they also used indian sine tables for their astrological calculations.
Amazing. Sometimes science is right🙂
This is awesome, may Wayne rest in peace.
Very nice. My wife and one of my daughters have been sprucing up our back yard in the "gardening" sense. I'm thinking of making one of these (if I can make it pretty enough) to add back there so that I've made a "contribution." 🙂 The armillary design has some real potential for being attractive. I saw another design earlier that requires interaction - you turn a part to make the spot the sun makes shining through a little hole fall on a line - the line is drawn so that it accounts for the equation of time. That one also seemed to me like it could be quite pretty, and I think actually touching it would be fun.
We'll be using your instrux to put together a sun dial or two for our "Museum of Solar Cooking"--along with our solar panels and laundry line, we're trying t maximize our illustration of the power of sunlight--and this style sun dial will be perfect.
Bien dicen unas imágenes valen más que mil palabras no entiendo el inglés pero el video que mire me da una idea como hacerlo.
You please try to know about Indian astrology and it's accuracy. It is such an ancient science about 5000 years old which is based on sun and nine planets.
I wonder if you could use a motor of some kind to actuate one angle of the dial to counteract 'the equation of time' offset.
Fantastic lesson thank you!
Thanks alot!! I had a homework to make a sundial and no video but this helped me alot!! Thanks alot
Astrolabe. The sun moves earth does not
The rotating EArth orbits the Sun.
Thank you I enjoyed this video and it was intelligent and explained well.
Good. Thanks.
exactly the information i sought to build an armillary. My paper model is a bit flimsy, and want to find something more sturdy.
I have a question about the solstice what kind of instrument is used? I want to built something in my garden
You should visit LA's Griffith Observatory... or have you already?
So if we draw some Gray binary code on the sundial and we can make a device to set the PC clock automatically even without Internet and NTP connection. When a sharp shadow is detected the signal is valid then the Gray code is decoded and the time determined.
Cool idea.except it would be confusing unless and until everybody did it.
if you havnt allready, maybe make a video on how hydraulics work. that would be awesome to hear you explain.
What is the name of that music? Thanks for sharing.
best video on sun dial set up thanks
Another great vid, thank you
Piękne zegary słoneczne.
Very well done 👍
thanks for the explanation... very much
Wow,thank you
😗
You are a genius!!
L
why would i want to make something that contains errors that i need to look up some b/s equation to compensate for the errors? I would rather build something that is accurate and that works thanks, without making adjustments just like on other sun dial instruments that don't need corrections.
