I saw a battery-operated clock with a pendulum that swings back and forth once a second without ticking and thought, why not make a digital one that uses a magnetic sensor to count the time from the pendulum? It probably won't be as accurate as a quartz clock but would look weird in a cool way.-- Amishman35, Nov 01 2005 Digital Pendulum Clock http://cgi.ebay.com...tem&item=4398530424Don't know if it uses the pendulum for timekeeping or not.
