An Electrical Engineering View of a Mechanical Watch
Videos for Engineers

In this MIT electrical engineering lecture, Professor Sussman explains how a mechanical watch mechanism relates to an electrical oscillator circuit consisting of resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Sussman is a life member of the American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute and exploits his expertise by demonstrating via close-up camera how various parts of the watch function while explaining how they relate to electrical components. This goes far beyond the comparatively lame textbook and classroom examples most of us have experienced in college.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
