Abstract

The light clock measures the time using the appropriate algorithm by counting the signals. The speed of light is known, so knowing the distance the light travels from the light source to the sensor, we know how long it takes. Knowing this data, we can precisely calculate the time unit by counting the signals. The signals repeat at the same time intervals. Knowing the time in which the light travels the distance from the light source to the sensor, we can calculate the duration of all signals and measure the time on this basis.

Description

Light clock Field of the Invention The light clock is a time measuring device.

Background to the Invention The light clock measures time based on the speed of light. The light clock computer counts the signals received by the sensor and the light source and on their basis it calculates the time unit using an appropriate algorithm. The speed of light is known, so knowing the distance the light travels from the light source to the sensor, we know how long it takes. Knowing this data we can calculate the time unit by counting the signals.

Statement of Invention A light clock is made up of a sensor, light source, light propagation centre, computer, mirror.

Brief description of the drawings Fig. 1 - front view.

Detailed description (1) A light source e.g. a laser connected to the computer – turns the light on and off depending on the signal it receives from the sensor. If the light source receives a signal from the sensor about the received light, the light source turns the light off; if the light source receives a signal from the sensor that there is no light, the light source turns the light on. The light source also sends signals to the sensor via the computer. (2) Sensor connected to the computer – receives the light sent by a light source and sends signals to the light source about the absence or reception of light. The sensor sends a signal to the light source via the computer. (3) Mirror- reflects the light. (4) Computer – records and counts the signals received by the light source from the sensor and signals received by the sensor from the light source. It also transmits signals from the light source to the sensor and from the sensor to the light source. (5) Light propagation centre – the space in which the light sent by a light source to a sensor propagates. (6) Plug inputs for connection to a computer. (7) Plug inputs for power supply.
