Now I'm noodling around thinking of variations and uses.
If I come up with anything interesting I'll post a link.

Idea A
Suspend the blue ball from piano wire (attached to a clock mechanism?)
to act as a pendulum. As the earth rotates, precession will cause it to
strike different clappers by turn.

Idea B
Cause the clappers to either change a musical note (potentiometer?) or
modify a light show of sorts. (Are there any pots that can read the
position of a magnet?)

Idea B would yield a light show that was dependent on both the time and
nearby activity.

You're welcome,

Bill
