Bangerter's Inventions; His Marvelous Time Clock
"Bangerter's Inventions; His Marvelous Time Clock" by Everett Lincoln King is a scientific publication likely written in the early 20th century. This book focuses on the groundbreaking inventions of Swiss inventor Friedrich Bangerter, specifically highlighting his creation of a perpetual time clock that claims to harness perpetual motion through the principles of natural forces, particularly temperature variations. It captures the optimistic spirit of the era regarding innovation and mechanical ingenuity. The book delves into Bangerter's inventions, detailing how his perpetual clock operates without the need for winding or electrical power, and instead draws energy from the daily fluctuations in temperature. Through various chapters, it discusses the broader implications of his work, relates it to the historical pursuit of perpetual motion, and illustrates his other inventions, such as automatic machines and fire alarms. The text conveys a sense of wonder at Bangerter's claims, asserting that past impossibilities in the field of mechanics have now become achievable realities, thanks to his creative intellect and application of natural laws.
