clock pendullum control

Submitted by Bob Trank on

HELP NEEDED.  I have an arduino uno and need to wire a control of a clock pendullum adding an extra push to keep it moving, exact time not mandatory, using magnetic coils as required. Limited electronic knowledge. Bob       

Can you light up the specs of the targeted clock and pendulam. Preferably an image or something.

pendulum clock is a clock that uses a pendulum, a swinging weight, as its timekeeping element. The advantage of a pendulum for timekeeping is that it is a harmonic oscillator.  it swings back and forth in a precise time interval dependent on its length, and resists swinging at other rates. From its invention in 1656 by christian Huygenus until the 1930s, the pendulum clock was the world's most precise timekeeper, accounting for its widespread use. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries pendulum clocks in homes, factories, offices and railroad stations served as primary time standards for scheduling daily life, work shifts, and public transportation, and their greater accuracy allowed the faster pace of life which was necessary for the indivisual revolatuion .

Tick tock  tick tock—that's the sound we think of when we think of clocks, even though the vast majority of modern timekeepers make hardly any sound at all. Not so long ago, virtually every clock and watch made a tick-tock noise because it was completely mechanical rather than electrical or electronic nstead of your clock being powered by a battery you wound it up with a key and there was a long swinging rod inside, called a pendulum.
