Now the Rotating Instrument Clock is primarily powered by a motor, with its speed controlled by an astronomical clock or radio oscillator.
However, the early Rotating Instrument Clocks drew their power from chain-driven weights or springs, with their rotational speeds controlled by centrifugal governors.
The Water Transporting Celestial Observation Platform, representing the pinnacle of Old Su's life, utilized this latter principle.
Previously, when designing the layout of the telescope, Xu Yun made some modifications to the Rotating Instrument Clock based on the Water Transporting Celestial Observation Platform.
First, he adjusted the torque and also created a spiral passage inside the cylinder body.
Turning it into an attached device.
Subsequently, Xu Yun bent down and reached into the cylinder with his right hand to begin feeling around.
A few seconds later.
About 30 centimeters along the cylinder wall, he felt three small protruding discs.
