really cool, but I’m skeptical…I need to know more about how exactly it works.

No Shot! If that actually works I’m hella impressed.

Well, time to wrap it up boys and girls. We have finally come full circle.
Sun dials, analog clocks and watches, atomic clocks, electronic clocks, hell we even made clocks that tell time using water. Now we are back to fancy Sun dials.
Was a good run all.

You mean numerically. That’s not digital.

I’m skeptical but really interested in the engineering behind this. Can anyone share the design process?

damn one less digit and it woulda been time to blaze

No way it would work minute by minute right?

It also tells the weather.
When it’s wet, its raining.

Is it completely passive ? Or does it have some circuitry inside to move some of the dials?

Get the angle slightly wrong and you’d miss your appointment by an hour

Seen on Etsy “many modern versions are 3D-printed, creating complex internal tunnels and shapes for the sun’s rays to pass through, displaying time in 20-minute or hourly increments”

Doesn’t work at night very well though…

Looks analog to me

Theres no way this works

It must have a hinge at the elbow otherwise it can’t possibly work everywhere. Does it?

If it would have shown 16:20 it would have been 👌👌👌

I would LOVE one of these! Or am I being naive again?

The sundial displays time from 10:00 until 16:00, updating every 20 minutes.

I 3d printed this. Minutes are 15 minute increments iirc, but I haven’t used it in a while.
Technically this is an analog digital watch so its both
If it were *any other device* it would just be analog
Analog is defined as something that does not use computer technology so this is an analog device
Normally the definition of “digital” is defined as a device that uses computer technology
Buuut in a clock “digital” has a second additional definition where it *also* refers to a clock that displays the time *in digits* aka: a *digit*al clock

Is there a setting to change from military (24 hour) to standard (12 hour)?

Video shows how this work
If it’s cloudy?
Works one day of the year only!
