Best Answer

An hourglass is a creation that simply uses the gravitational pull of the earth to move sand or other types of particles in an upper chamber down through a thin canal into a lower chamber. Usually they are engineered to approximate a certain length of time from when all the particles are in the top, to when all the particles are in the bottom.
