This Battery Has Lasted 175 Years and No One Knows How
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoI suspect that the battery is long dead, and other peripheral effects are responsible for the oscillation of the clapper. E.g. photoelectric effects on the bells cause charge to build up; the clapper collects charge from one bell and delivers it to the other. And so on.
- irascible 11y agoJust what I was thinking.. or external vibration making the bell periodically act as a generator..
