Hard Drive Clock (not A Lame Clock With A Hd Face)

September 15, 2007 by Will O'Brien 25 Comments


[Fred] sent in this awesome hard drive clock. Nope, just parts of a HD into a clock, but the actual drive mechanism and heads are used for this one. The arms move in and out to indicate minutes and the platter position is used to show the hour. It uses a 50hz clock, logic chips and some scrounged parts to get it all done.
