In theoretical horlogerie the quality factor, known as Q, is a highly discussed quantity. Originally developed in electronics to describe the quality of electrical oscillators, Q is now used in many areas to describe the behaviour of oscillators of many t...  

I may have missed it, but can you point me (us, your readers) to any further details of your clock? The Q drop at higher amplitude? Solely air resistance, or just the more more pronounced effects of all friction combined compared to the energy available?

The clock is more or less finished on paper, but right now parts only exist for the pendulum support and suspension. I have thrown some weight on a rod to see how the suspension behaves. I push the bob with my finger and watch the oscillation. So for the ... 

Apologies for not responding sooner. Have had some difficulties accessing the site, hopefully now addressed. Please keep us updated with developments

Out of curiosity, what would the Q Factor be for a JLC Atmos? Regards, skyeriding
