Horologium Oscillatorium: Sive de Motu Pendulorum ad Horologia Aptato Demonstrationes Geometricae (English: The Pendulum Clock: or Geometrical Demonstrations Concerning the Motion of Pendula as Applied to Clocks) is a book published by Dutch mathematician and physicist Christiaan Huygens in 1673 and his major work on pendula and horology.
From its invention in 1656 by Christiaan Huygens, inspired by Galileo Galilei, until the 1930s, the pendulum clock was the world's most precise timekeeper, accounting for its widespread use. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, pendulum clocks in homes, factories, offices, and railroad stations served as primary time standards ...
Spring-driven pendulum clock, designed by Huygens and built by Salomon Coster (1657), [111] with a copy of the Horologium Oscillatorium (1673), [112] at Museum Boerhaave, Leiden In 1657, inspired by earlier research into pendulums as regulating mechanisms, Huygens invented the pendulum clock, which was a breakthrough in timekeeping and became ...
Salomon Coster (1622–1659), Dutch clockmaker, The Hague, first pendulum clock like Christiaan Huygens. Albrecht Erb (1628–1714), Austrian clockmaker, Vienna, clockmaker of the court, astronomical clock. Isaac Thuret (?–1706), French clockmaker, Paris, clockmaker of the court.
Original pendulum clock by S. Coster, after Huygens' design (1657). Salomon Coster (c. 1620–1659) was a Dutch clockmaker of the Hague, who in 1657 was the first to make a pendulum clock, which had been invented by Dutch mathematician Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695). [1] [2] Coster died a sudden death in 1659.
The second verge pendulum clock built by Christiaan Huygens, inventor of the pendulum clock, 1673. Huygens claimed an accuracy of 10 seconds per day. In a pendulum clock, the verge escapement is turned 90 degrees so that the crown wheel faces up (top).
The second important technical development for longitude determination was the pendulum clock, patented by Christiaan Huygens in 1657. [30] This gave an increase in accuracy of about 30-fold over previous mechanical clocks – the best pendulum clocks were accurate to about 10 seconds per day. [31]
Injection pulling and injection locking can be observed in numerous physical systems where pairs of oscillators are coupled together. Perhaps the first to document these effects was Christiaan Huygens, the inventor of the pendulum clock, who was surprised to note that two pendulum clocks which normally would keep slightly different time nonetheless became perfectly synchronized when hung from ...
