OK how does a clock spring store energy without *any*
atomic/sub-atomic effects?
By mechanical strain of the crystalline structure of the spring
steel whose lowest energy, and therefore most stable, conformation
is 'unwound'. Whenever displaced from that conformation it will tend
to revert to it when the strain is removed.
No atomic or sub-atomic effects at all.
Wells, you're a right pillock! :~(
What's _your_ explanation then? Let's hear it.
