I have Atmos clock on my desk. It simulates perpetual motion. It’s a mechanical, torsion pendulum clock (the pendulum rotates alternately right and left.) It doesn’t use solar cells, it doesn’t plug into an AC outlet, and it doesn’t take batteries. It runs on a mainspring, but it never has to be wound. The movement contains a cylinder, with an accordion-like bellows inside. The cylinder is filled with liquid and gaseous ethyl chloride. This compound is very sensitive to temperature—it expands when the temperature rises, and contracts when it falls. This action moves the bellows back and forth. Then there’s a very finely machined mechanical linkage from the bellows to the mainspring, which powers the movement. The spring is initially wound when the clock is made at the factory. But after that, subsequent fluctuations in ambient temperature—as translated into motion through the bellows mechanism—keep the spring wound. It’s said that a 1 degree Celsius temperature change per day can keep the clock running for 2 days. I have the clock near my desk lamp. Which I keep on for 6 or 7 hours a day. This provides enough temperature change to keep it going. It’s not a cheap clock. All the mechanical parts are must be precisely made and finished to minimize friction and wear. And obviously, it’s not perpetual motion. It’s powered by fluctuations in heat energy. But it’s a very cool device. And for a mechanical clock, it keeps darn good time.
