This reminds me of my grandmother's house. The grandmother on my dads side has an old clock that sounds just like this. I miss going there because if covid. But just listening to these chimes, I can fully map out the entire house.

After 2.5 years of continuous operation this clock had its first malfunction today. One note of the chimes quit working. Turned out the brass "tab" that connects the monofilament actuator to the hammer broke off where it was soldered. Easy fix, all good now. I'm actually surprised it ran this long without any mechanical problems!

Un homme It’s not how it works. If you see some real mechanical clocks you would be surprised they chime 3MINIUTES later than the hour... itself Or sometimes 2 miniutes early.....

This is incredible. A steampunk Nixie version of the old chiming mantel clocks that were everywhere back in the day, but without the winding once a week! I wish I had the skills to build something like this.

I love Westminster chime melody because the clock seems to pray for those who works hard with much risks to protect them against any danger. The clock prays for them at every quarter hour.

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of tech I've seen and heard. Thank you!

Built a Nixie tube clock myself back in about 1972. Mine didn’t have any chimes I though. I like yours a lot!

a glow discharge of nixie tubes is mesmerizing

I love many types of clocks, and the look and sound of this is absolutely gorgeous! Very Nice timepiece!

WOW it looks so steampunk!

Beautiful sounding chime, nice clock with a blend of vintage and modern.

Now I found the style I want for my Nixie project! This is pure awesomeness...

I like the combining of old world digital and analog...nicely done!

My Nan and Grandad had a simple grandfather clock with no details on it at all. But the sound that came out was the same as this but very loud, it was wonderful.

Wonderful! Also like the way you have mounted the Nixie Tubes.

My dad had an old harmel regulator clock with a banjo style pendulum and it did the same chime. I remember falling asleep to the chimes very relaxing.

Regardless of where or who you are, this is possibly the most British thing I've ever seen.

Thank you! Those are Hermle chime rods and hammer assy that I bought for this project and then modded to suit my needs. This project was a "make it up as you go, based on available parts" thing - surprised it turned out as good as it did - will make another one some day using what I learned from this one. If you haven't checked out the Construction Pix link in the description yet, I highly recommend you do.

There are solenoids under the top cover. Microcontroller outputs fire the solenoids thru MOSFET driver circuits. Solenoid plungers pull "strings" that raise the chime hammers. You can sort of see strings toward end of this video. See entire setup taken apart at eeberfest.net/gallery.php?set=clock

What I was saying was that the chime seemed to pause for a second between each bar. I am used to the Westminster chime timing of Big Ben/The great clock in London.

@sootikins

9 жыл бұрын

***** We are talking about the same thing then: your "pause" is my "dotted half note". I notice that the chime doesn't sustain the sound for the entire dotted-half interval in the video, thus the apparent pause. In its present version (faster overall tempo) it sounds considerably better. There are a lot of variations of Westminster in use in all sorts of clocks with lots of little differences. But I have to agree that Big Ben is kind of like the "authoritative" version, in which case mine is "wrong".

Start here with construction pix: eeberfest.net/gallery.php The clock part is a fairly standard Nixie clock design - microcontroller keeps time and oversees all other functions, high voltage driver chips are used to allow microcontroller outputs (5 volt) to drive the tubes (170 volt). The microcontroller operates the chimes by energizing solenoids that pull "strings" that raise the chime hammers. The lengths of the chime rods determine what notes they sound. Playing the Westminster tune is then simply a matter of programming the microcontroller to fire the right solenoids at the right times...

That clock is the balls.

I recognize that chime

Nice

Why is there a 2-3 second delay between each bar?

***** I'm not sure I understand the question. This is the version of the Westminster Quarters that is in 6/4 (not 5/4) time. Each 4-note phrase is three quarter notes and a dotted half. 1-2-3-456, 1-2-3-456, etc. My note durations are programmed correctly. I'll admit the overall tempo is a bit slow here, I've since speeded it up a little.

Genial !!

Or to be more direct: you get a mechanical chime unit from an old mantel clock and devise a way to actuate it electrically. In this case I used solenoids controlled by microcontroller and linked the solenoids to the chime hammers using a nylon monofilament. There are no instructions and there is no one right way to do it. Engineer something that works with what you've got...
