HIGH VOLTAGE!
60 conductors around a circle, with a tesla coil in the middle.
The conductors switch on to complete a circuit, and draw the electricity towards them, in time, and switch off to pass the electricity to he next one, which has been turned on.
Glass separates the different hands,
and prevents people from touching them. A really thick bolt of electricity for the hour hand, a thinner one for minutes, and a really thin one for seconds.
See an anno about the Jacob's Ladder Pendulum! (right below the links, just past UnaBubba's anno)
Round it goes.....
ZZAAPP!

Didn't find it. Though with the quotations, this idea was on the first page. [DesertFox, Feb 15 2005]

The Science Museum has a lightning clock, but it only, um, strikes once per hour. |
|
| |
It would make some ozone, that clock. |
|
| |

|
| |
UnaBubba, your anno lost me. |

"There's a light (over at the frankenstein place)." |

Wouldn't this drive animals completely nuts, and I'm not sure aobut you, but a few of my pets are insane enough already, but i'd bun it! [+] |
|

Croissant just for finding something that John hasn't done yet. ;-) |
|
| |
That one too, UnaBubba. What are you trying to say? |
|
| |
Are you trying to drive me nuts? (Too late...... I already am! Mwahahahaha!) |
|

Oh, and just think about how cool it would be with a downwards facing Jacob's Ladder pendelum, sending a current down the vanes every time it hits the high point of it's arc! |
|

Seek (on Google) and ye shall find. |

Ahhhhh! His annos are about a dance called the Time Warp! |

[DF] The non-sensical annotations are lines from "Rocky Horror Picture Show," which was probably before your time. Dr. Frankenfurter uses lightning to create the man of his dreams. "Just seven days..." is also from "Rocky Horror Picture Show," but originally came from Charles Atlas who promoted bodybuilding. |

FarmerJohn, could you be as kind as to do an illustration? You are the Halfbaker's Michelangelo. |
|
| |
As opposed to the Halfbaker's Frida Kahlo? I'm none too pleased with the result. |
|
| |
Yes, bristolz is good too. |
|
| |
Maybe we should have a "draw-off" between bris and FJ. |
