TL;DR · WeSearch summary

The ATMOS from Jae­ger-LeCoult­re is a uni­que mecha­ni­cal clock. This pen­dulum clock has been available for purcha­se sin­ce the ear­ly 1930s and is still sold today—almost iden­ti­cal in construction—by JLC. The ATMOS clock uses the smal­lest tem­pe­ra­tu­re fluc­tua­tions to con­ti­nuous­ly gene­ra­te ener­gy and main­tain a power reserve.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand

The ATMOS from Jae­ger-LeCoult­re is a uni­que mecha­ni­cal clock. This pen­dulum clock has been available for purcha­se sin­ce the ear­ly 1930s and is still sold today—almost iden­ti­cal in construction—by JLC. The ATMOS clock uses the smal­lest tem­pe­ra­tu­re fluc­tua­tions to con­ti­nuous­ly gene­ra­te ener­gy and main­tain a power reserve. Behind the extre­me­ly smooth-run­ning move­ment is a her­me­ti­cal­ly sea­led pres­su­re can fil­led with ethyl chlo­ri­de, which reacts extre­me­ly sen­si­tively to tem­pe­ra­tu­re fluc­tua­tions and thus gene­ra­tes move­ment via a metal bel­lows: if the tem­pe­ra­tu­re rises, the gas in the pres­su­re can expands and vice ver­sa. This pres­su­re dif­fe­rence dri­ves a mecha­nism that in turn winds the clock.
