Objectives
The clock project aims to teach students about the complete manufacturing process from start to finish. Analyzing the motion of the clock aims to teach point mass calculations, inertial calculations, and using graphs of oscillations to predict the motion. Challenges that occurred were accurately modeling the clock in WM2D and creating a perfectly symmetrical design.
This project also aims to teach students about point mass and inertial analysis, which are both used to model the pendulum's harmonic motion.
Outcomes
Outcomes
The main learnings of this project were learning how to use the LaserCAM machine; understanding Fusion360, AutoCAD, and WM2D software; and utilize heavy machinery to refine and manufacture parts for the clock. The outcome was a working pendulum clock, albeit it doesn't tick once per second
