pretty cool - brainflakes, on 04/23/2008, -1/+70Daylight savings will be a NIGHTMARE
- timbo_digg, on 04/23/2008, -3/+38I want one.
- thebadkitty, on 04/23/2008, -0/+26How does this not have more digs?! This is ***** awesome!
Wonder what he went through to make this? - Doopdoop, on 04/23/2008, -1/+22He must have a lot of time on his hands.
- NinjaNato, on 04/23/2008, -0/+20A huge 4-storey-high version slapped on the side of an office building would be awesome.
- dancee, on 04/23/2008, -4/+18Simply amazing
- rentmitchum, on 04/23/2008, -0/+13He could just turn it off for an hour.. or put a switch to pump in more juice so they speed up for enough to be an hour forward. I mean, he went through all the effort of arranging and figuring that ***** out, I'm sure he can manage a few switches, resistors, and whatever else that'd need. Still, I laughed and dugg you. lol
- tikiman453, on 04/23/2008, -6/+18You'll ***** bricks.
- Zizhou, on 04/23/2008, -1/+11Looking at the animated "demo" clock reveals that each number uses it's own independent set of hands...so while this is still really, really nifty, it's not nearly as complicated as it initially appears to be.
- AndrewDB, on 04/23/2008, -0/+10I want one. I wonder how much he charges to make them.
- ccanni1028, on 04/23/2008, -0/+9...or turn it off for 23 hours.
- Murdats, on 04/23/2008, -1/+10maybe that means the clock is saying its FOUR'o'clock?
just a guess, I mean perhaps a clock saying four means that it is four o clock, maybe. - Grimdotdotdot, on 04/23/2008, -0/+9I get the feeling that if you have to ask how much, you can't afford it.
- vyasram, on 04/23/2008, -0/+7***** awesome.
The force is with the analogs. - desertDenizen, on 04/23/2008, -0/+7Artists like this give me hope for mankind.
- jebiya, on 04/23/2008, -1/+7cool idea. very unique
- Wakuko, on 04/23/2008, -0/+6or move to Arizona
- rentmitchum, on 04/23/2008, -0/+6A lot of dogs would like a poopie flavored lollipop. A lot of dogs eat *****. How many dogs are in the world? Let's say one per every 3 households (conservative estimate), and that makes this EXTREMELY USEFUL AND YOU LOSE! You get NOTHING. Good DAY sir.
Dammit I keep typing dogs with two g's. Damn you digg. - spleen22, on 04/23/2008, -1/+6Art clock. Love it. Must have been a headache getting them all to synchronize like that.
- bluesbyrd, on 04/23/2008, -0/+5More like a lot of hands on his time .....
- hotcod, on 04/23/2008, -0/+5not really no. You have them all set up to show the word (as they move they will not show that word again for 12 hours) then you start the first set at 12, then the next set one hour later and so on. It's a cool idea and such but not "hard" to do really, you could do the minutes but it would take a LOT more setting up. Still very very cool idea.
- Intamin, on 04/24/2008, -0/+4Yeah! And every time it struck an hour they could drop huge balls from the top and turn it into a giant pachinko machine!
Let's get on this! - jmcsk8, on 04/23/2008, -0/+4imagine your friends coming over and not knowing what the hell it is.
amazing. - pyro789x, on 04/23/2008, -3/+7oh... *****. Digg me down
- DrummerAndrew, on 04/23/2008, -0/+4That is pretty badass. Well done from concept to completion. The top of the S in six becomes the bottom of E in Seven.
- vornan19, on 04/23/2008, -0/+4the hand in the middle is part of the 'three'. There is no hand marking the hour!
- dblespresso, on 04/23/2008, -1/+5How about the digital analog watch:
http://www.coolhunting.com/archives/2008/04/de_gri ... - shakbhaji, on 04/23/2008, -0/+4I think it runs on the "ish" system. As in "it's about 12ish."
- dominic2, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3Anyone got any idea how I could get this animation to work real-time so I could put it on the Dashboard? (finally a use for Safari's webclip feature)
- dominic2, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3Haha funniest comment
- zeigual, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3flash+actionscript would allow you to do this. could use existing flash animation as an easy template. Just slow it down and calculate the rotation rates or maybe just make frames from the animation and step through them depending on time. This artist has done the hard part. LOL.
- franksands, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3Analog FTW!
I still use an analog wrist watch ;-) - kiwimonk, on 04/23/2008, -1/+4I was just thinking of clock designs today! This one is way better then what I came up with! Simply Genius !
- Baryn, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3Some of the words share hands, which is another badge on this *****'s chest.
- vornan19, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3No there isn't. It's part of 'three'. Unless you mean the one slightly to the left, that's part of the 'N' in 'ten'. Both hands appear to roughly follow the time. No hand follows the time accurately.
- rentmitchum, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3Yea make sure to click this or go to the 3rd page. So awesome in motion.
- ccanni1028, on 04/23/2008, -1/+4Every hand is running the whole time. There are no "random hands in there for effect", every hand in the clock is used to make one of the numbers except for the hand in the middle. That's a regular hour hand from a regular clock that tells you what time it is.
- infinityofnever, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3now you just have to eyeball which two words is better formed. if both words are half-assedly formed, it's about half the hour between the two.
- bovester, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2I take that back, you can say something is "almost unique" or any other modifier that negates the uniqueness, but there are no degrees of uniqueness
- dman24752, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2I'd say a lot of time.
- 029JO, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2I really really want one....
- verkon, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2Yeah I was kinda disappointed by that as well, could have put some more time into it and it would be cool
- Shiner6, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2You could rig it to say a lot of things.
- hairyblue, on 04/23/2008, -2/+4i think there's a hand in the middle, solely to tell the time. it points at all the forming numbers without being included in one itself
- rsHoratio, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2I want to buy one!!!! I bet you could rig it to say GET A WATCH
- xz9925, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2imagine them drunk tryin to figure it out
- Voyagerfan5761, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2Now I want one of those, too. Grr! So much cool stuff, so little time (er, money mostly).
- xz9925, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2 oh yea!? your mom is as useful as a sun dial! BURN!
seriously.. this is called functional ART its not ment to a true clock - kronborg, on 04/23/2008, -1/+3The description says that he used more than 150 individual clockworks. That makes it pretty easy to make, using only big hands (1 revolution every 12th hour). Just spell 'one' with the first set, let them run for 1 hour (or adjust them accordingly), spell 'two' with the second set, and so on. It would be truly awesome if he hadn't used an individual set for each word.
