Where we're going, we don't need roads.
The intrepid adventurers of our Temporal Archaeology Team have returned from a parallel timeline in which they personally witnessed President Tesla’s WWI victory against Otto Mecha Bismarck in laser glove combat. Perusing the raucous markets of the floating slum-ships of Manchester-Above-London, they discovered this curious trinket: the Flux Clockpacitor.
Materials used:
- DR2000 Numitrons (Electronic Parts Outlet on Fondren)
Mysterious creatures of the deep.
- 7447 7-segment drivers (also EPO)
- Arduino Uno
- DS1307 Real Time Clock breakout board kit
- Prototyping board (Radio Shack)
- 5V regulator (the Shack)
- Shrink tubing (the Shack)
- Solid core copper wire (Home Depot)
- Vintage wooden box
Tools used:
- Soldering iron
- Time machine
- Moxy

I’d love to learn more about this. As my final project in college, I designed a microprocessor controlled Nixie clock. I couldn’t get the program to work. I’ve since been trying various analog methods of getting a time signal including using a LM8560 digital clock IC, but I’m trying to learn enough about Arduino to do it via it.
