    This clock is really cool. I would like it also if there were a binary version, but I don’t know if you can throw the balls around or if it is even possible because the highest binary extent before 24 hours is 17:04. The next one is 34:08.
    But if it is possible, I would appreciate it.

    you can make a projector with flash to make it into an application too.

    I also had an idea. What if you replaced the elevator with a vertical conveyor belt to bring the marbles up. It could carry a number at a time, placing one into the tray every 10 seconds. Kind of like the old game “Marble Drop”. it would give a more fluid look the the gadget. I could draw you a visualization if you want.

    Hi! Can I suggest a feature to be implemented: a ‘Pause’ button… just so we can stop time! When pressed, everything will of course be still, and any item we move around will freeze in place wherever we leave it.

    Then we can build pyramids of balls and watch them get smashed, etc. Would be pretty cool I think.

    I found this awesome glitch if you slam the bar way up you know the one that carries the ball up to the highest level. you can send the balls into the next dimension or deep cyberspace

    Love this clock, and the hands on portion of it is great. If you grab the elevator and pull it down as far as you can get it, as the balls fall into the hole they dissipear leaving you a ball-less clock, lolz

    hey that is really really cool. especially the balls moving up the slow slow slow slow slow moving thingy. The best part I like about it is when the top numbers (1,2,3,4) are full and another ball goes up, it goes to the L-shaped thingy and the balls on the top numbers slide down to the bottom…

    this would be even COOLER in color :) So you could keep track of the different balls and understand patterns and such :)
