Great Gravity Clock
Location: Ft. Lauderdale, Florida - Museum of Discovery & Science
Client: Museum of Discovery & Science
At 52’ tall, the Great Gravity Clock is the biggest kinetic sculpture in Florida. This unique timepiece is the one of only three in the world. Below the face of the clock, a Minute rail, Ten minute rail and Hour rail affect the movement of the clock as a ball passes through each point. Because each ball represents an increment of time, it is a digital clock. Each minute a ball moves around the face of the clock and is released onto a digital ride. Gravity takes over, causing the balls to travel the rails.
