Скачать или смотреть Science Museum Opening - Midsummer Chronophage - 18 April 2011

The celebrated time-eating Chronophage clock, designed by Dr John C Taylor OBE, went on show at the Science Museum on Monday 18 April until October 2011.

The display entitled The Time Eating Clock -- A Story of Invention presents the Chronophage alongside an original Harrison clock in an installation designed to give insight into the mind of one of today's most creative and successful inventors.

Like its sister clock, permanently installed outside Corpus Christi College Library, Cambridge University, this giant kinetic piece is destined to be a show-stopper. The Chronophage is a genuinely new way of presenting time. The patented timepiece shows time in a way that causes its viewers to reflect on the very nature of time measurement. Some minutes race by, others drag, some disappear and others appear to stand still. Every five minutes the clock "corrects" itself and accurate time (whatever that means) is shown through light slits, as the Chronophage is a clock without hands or numbers.
