Models (sun Chronometers)

 

Sun Chronometers as a Time measuring instrument

 

In the following 3 models, I was trying to make a more precise object that will reflect the displacement of the light. It is done through precision in making the object and the width to depth ratio of the slits and of course that angles of these slits.

Model 1

The next model catches the sun during a 30 minute period.

 

 

Model 2

The next model catches the sun during a 15 minute period.

 

Model 3

This model has an improvement in the fact that it signals the start and end of the period in this case 30 minutes.
