Huygens (and others) revisited.
We develop a generic iterative map model of coupled oscillators based on simple physical processes common to many such systems. The model allows us to understand, from a unified perspective, the range of different outcomes reported for experiments by Huygens and modern realizations of his two coupled clocks.
متن کاملHuygens ’ s clocks
Shortly after The Royal Society’s founding in 1660, Christiaan Huygens, in partnership with the Society, set out to solve the outstanding technological challenge of the day: the longitude problem, i.e. nding a robust, accurate method of determining longitude for maritime navigation (Yoder 1990). Huygens had invented the pendulum clock in 1657 (Burke 1978) and, subsequently, had demonstrated m...
متن کاملHuygens ’ clocks revisited Allan
In 1665, Huygens observed that two identical pendulum clocks, weakly coupled through a heavy beam, soon synchronized with the same period and amplitude but with the two pendula swinging in opposite directions. This behaviour is now called anti-phase synchronization. This paper presents an analysis of the behaviour of a large class of coupled identical oscillators, including Huygens’ clocks, usi...
