Electrolytic Clock
Tesla's electrolytic clock, mentioned in his patents and writings, used electrolysis principles to measure time through chemical reactions driven by electric currents. It involved a setup where electrolytes decomposed at a constant rate, driving clock mechanisms without mechanical springs.
Though less documented than his major works, this invention highlighted Tesla's interest in precise, electricity-based timekeeping. It influenced later electrochemical devices, offering a novel approach to clocks that avoided mechanical wear.
