What type of clocks did people make when there was no electricity or wires?

Before electricity, people made mechanical clocks that were powered by weights or springs. These clocks used gears, escapements, and pendulums to keep time accurately. Sundials and water clocks were other types of timekeeping devices used before the invention of electricity.


How did clocks work without electricity?

Before electricity, clocks used various mechanisms to keep time such as pendulums or springs. Mechanical clocks would need to be regularly wound up to store energy and keep the clock running accurately. Water clocks and sundials were also used in ancient times to measure time without electricity.


Do clocks use energy?

Yes, clocks use energy to operate. This energy can come from batteries, electricity, or mechanical mechanisms like springs. Digital clocks typically require electricity, while analog clocks may use batteries or winding mechanisms to function.


What uses more electricity fridges or alarm clocks?

Refridgerators use far more electricity than alarm clocks.


How was accurate time established before electronic communication?

Pocket watches, wrist watches, grandfather clocks, and large church clocks do not actually require electronic powering. They are put together using gears and simple machines; in other words they are mechanical and not electronic. Before electricity was used to power watches and clocks, they had to be wound on a regular basis. Before clocks and watches, time was kept track of by the position of the sun in the sky.


What came before the watch to tell the time?

urmm... i think it woz the grandfather clocks they had wall clocks before watches. so its probably just clocks


What was it like before electricity?

the time before electricity existed is refered to as "the cingularity". No one can know what it was like before that time since the known laws of physics do not apply before the big bang and are of no consequence in a universe without electricity.


What were water clocks used for?

Keeping time, in the days before mechanical clocks.
