2013 European Control Conference (ECC) July 17-19, 2013, Zürich, Switzerland. Modeling and Analysis of an Atmospheric Driven Atmos Clock with Mechanical Escapement Control Shreyas Patel, David Moline, and John Wagner, PhD, PE, Senior Member, IEEE  Abstract—The classic Atmos mantle clock operates on Using a torsion pendulum, which oscillates very slowly atmospheric differences to power the mechanical bellows and about its center of rotation, the Atmos clock requires wind the mainspring. A delicate gear train and verge turn a significantly less energy than a mechanical clock with an torsional pendulum with minimal frictional losses throughout ordinary pendulum. The torsional pendulum is suspended by the system. A pair of hands display the time on a dial in twelve a very fine Elinvar wire. Elinvar, a steel alloy, is often used hour increments. In this paper, an Atmos 540 clock has been to make watch springs because of its linear elasticity investigated as it offers vivid insight into a mechanical characteristics over a wide temperature range. Unlike other escapement controller with integrated system components, and a “green” temperature and/or pressure driven power source. torsion pendulum clocks which require outside energy The clock design, operation, and mathematical model sources to wind the mainspring, the Atmos clock is kept representing the energy f
