Most clocks run on batteries, but some have internal mechanisms that make chiming or gong sounds. These types of clocks also use batteries and mechanics.

What kind of energy is used to make an alarm clock work?

An alarm clock typically uses electrical energy to run. This electricity can come from batteries or a power outlet.


How is energy stored in a clock?

Energy in a clock is typically stored in a battery or through a winding mechanism. The battery provides power to run an electronic clock, while winding a mechanical clock stores potential energy through the tension in a spring, which is released gradually to drive the clock's movement.


How does a fruit clock gets its power?

A fruit clock gets its power from the chemical energy produced by the fruits it uses as a power source. The fruits undergo a chemical reaction with the electrodes in the clock, generating enough energy to run the clock.


Is a clock a pulley?

No, a clock is not a pulley. A clock is a device used to measure and display time, while a pulley is a simple machine that consists of a wheel with a groove in which a rope or belt can run to change the direction of a force.

Can you use an orange to power a clock?

No, an orange does not contain enough energy to power a clock. The small amount of electrical energy that can be generated from an orange through chemical reactions is not sufficient to run a typical clock.


How is clock tower movement possible without electricity?

The source of energy is the hanging weight(s) in the tower....or a wound spring if a more modern mechanism is used. Think of a Grandfather Clock. It is "wound" by pulling on a chain which raises the hanging weight(s) in the body of the clock. The force of gravity pulling on the weights provides the energy to run the clock. Note however, that you actually input the energy initially, when you pulled on the chain to raise the weight. That rise increased the weight's Potential Energy, which is then slowly converted back to Kinetic Energy as the weight slowly is lowered by the Clockwork mechanism.


What is the energy you use to run machines?

There are several ways to power a machine. For a battery it uses chemical energy and for a car battery it uses chemical energy. There are 2 types of energy:Potential energy and Kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy waiting to be released. and kinetic energy is energy of motion. There are 7 diffrent types of energy: Mechanical, Thermal, Chemical, electrical, sound and Nuclear energy.


Can we utilize gravity and motion of simple pendulum to make a generator?

No... Simple harmonic motion will end (under Earth conditions) on its own. Secondly, gravity is a constant accelerating force. This means that it can only pull downward on an object. The energy 'given' to the pendulum in the down swing is used up in its upswing. (it works against gravity in its upswing) Resulting in a net zero energy in the pendulum. On a side note: An old fashion coo-coo clock does run on a gravity system. The heavy weights pull chains through the works to create the energy to run the clock. Unfortunately, the weights have to be lifted to 'recharge' the clock.
