The Rotating LED Clock

Time is an illusion...!!!!  


Mechanically scanning LED displays have a great place in the future. They may eventually replace the matrix of light bulbs found on standard displays. Spinning displays require much less power to drive the lights, as there is a fraction of the number of lights required in the matrix design. Our group hopes to take advantage of this and create an aesthetically pleasing clock. This clock also should keep the time accurately, slowly rotate the time so it is visible from all sides, is inexpensive to construct and maintain, and look more appealing than the average clock. The basic principle of working is the persistence of vision POV.
