TempoFlow is a captivating rolling ball clock, driven by gravity and featuring small stainless steel balls to indicate the time. Crafted from aluminum alloy and black walnut wood, it combines function and artistic allure, creating a mesmerizing and ever-moving timepiece, making it a distinctive addition to any space
Innovative timekeeping devices offer a captivating way to show the passage of time.
TempoFlow features a distinct design in which small stainless steel balls are used to display the time. These balls travel along three tracks to indicate hours and minutes. The ball’s position on the track corresponds to the current time.
TempoFlow relies on the principle of potential energy. Every minute, the motor transports a ball to the highest point on the track and then falls to the first timing track by gravity.
When the number of balls on the timing track reaches the threshold, it triggers a tipping motion due to gravitational potential energy. One ball progresses to the next-level timing track, while the rest continue along the main track.
As of January 1st, this project has raised $183,000 of their $2,000 goal. This project has 24 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $180, you will get one TempoFlow. For a pledge of $369, you will get two TempoFlow’s.
