Abstract
A mechanical clock has a driving element and a braking element. The braking action of the braking element is based on a hydrostatic gradient of at least one flowable medium. The driving element exerts a first torque on a first shaft extending along a first axis, and the braking element exerts a second torque on the first shaft, with the second torque being opposed to the first torque. The braking element has at least one drum which is rotatable around a second axis and in which the flowable medium is located.
Claims22
A clock having at least one driving element and at least one braking element, wherein the braking action of the braking element is based on a hydrostatic gradient of at least one flowable medium, wherein said driving element exerts a first torque (M1) on a first shaft (10) extending along a first axis (A—A) and said braking element exerts a second torque (M2) on to first shaft (10), said second torque being opposed to the first torque (M1), wherein said braking element has at least one drum (20) which is rotatable round a second axis (B—B) and in which said flowable medium is located, and wherein said drum (20) is coupled to the first shaft (10) for rotation.
