A 6.5 meter wide tower clock



I am working on a 6.5 meter wide tower clock now and trying to finished it before July 7.  This project is another first in the country because I am using a clock with only two wheels - the center and the hour wheels driven directly by two separate motors controlled digitally by MCU that I programmed myself. When finished its bound to be installed at a 33-storey building in Metro Manila. This is my own design and the first of its kind in the world - a "direct drive" clock movement that has a lot of advantages. Easy to maintain, easy to make, long lasting mechanical movement because it has fewer friction involved, etc, another first from Le Arsi.    Watch for the video of the completed tower clock next month!! Thank you.
