That would depend on the clock (some are all made of wood) but usually the metal parts are made of brass.

What makes a clock tick?

A clock ticks when its mechanism releases stored energy at regular intervals to move the gears and hands. This rhythmic movement of the gears is what creates the familiar ticking sound in most mechanical clocks.


What clocks made of?

Clocks can be made of various materials, such as metal, wood, plastic, and glass. The internal components of a clock, such as the gears and mechanisms, are typically made of metal for durability and precision. The outer casing or frame of a clock can be crafted from a range of materials to provide different aesthetics and functionalities.


How pendulum clock work?

A pendulum clock works by using the swinging motion of a pendulum to regulate the movement of the clock's gears. As the pendulum swings back and forth, it ticks off intervals of time, allowing the clock's gears to move at a precise rate. This consistent movement is what keeps the hands of the clock accurately displaying the time.


How does a weight driven clock work?

A weight driven clock uses a hanging weight to provide the energy needed to power the clock mechanism. As the weight descends, it turns gears that regulate the movement of the clock hands. The weight needs to be wound up periodically to keep the clock running.


What force is used to move a mechanical clock?

A mechanical clock is typically moved by a spring or weights that store energy and release it slowly to power the gears that move the hands of the clock. This stored energy is transferred through a series of gears and escapements to regulate the movement of the clock hands.

What do you oil on wild west island?

Inside the clock tower at Diamond Plains, the clock gears are rusted. You oil only the center set of gears, not the ones that go around the outside. Click on each only until it sparkles, and do not waste oil by missing the gears. When you are done, turn the handle to start the gears and get the clock working again.

You have to get the oil can at the Trade and Barter shop, go to the clock, and make all the gears between the two big gears shine.


How do you fix the gears in the clock tower in wild west island in poptropica?

when its time to grease the gears in the clock tower, there are a few gears that are very dark brown, so those are the ones that you put the grease on. But be careful, because when you turn the gears ON, some of the gears didnt have enough f of the grease on them so youll have to do it again
