Alerts, alarms, and reminders prod us through our days with unforgiving precision. Challenging this pressure-filled environment, the Domino Clock™ takes a simple, iconic object and transforms it into a new way to tell time. The concept is simple. Three larger-than-life dominoes are equipped with articulating dots that flip back-and-forth between black and white to keep time. They hang on the wall or stand free, communicating wirelessly as they quietly mark the passing hours and minutes. By subtly abstracting the idea of time, Carbon’s Domino Clock creates a more relaxing experience.<br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jazJWpdgkNs?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="328" width="530"></iframe><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Challenging Expectations.</span> While the idea itself is pretty straight forward, it challenges the assumptions we make about familiar objects. "People have a lot of immediate associations with everyday things, especially iconic ones," says Joe Sullivan, industrial designer at Carbon Design Group, a Seattle-based product development consultancy. "It’s interesting to play with these expectations. In this case, we’re taking a well-known object out of its normal context and giving it new capabilities, allowing it to function as something completely different."<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZkiMy7tTZIJ_laSTmKILblN12UiXMmoG-b3AnXRQlYiXofIHTmEfWomzSKvxvbAqUQNFlUsWxSNxnUagA4lwIALWnym0eI-BWMXlOa4tWZBBOFuTGjTSPmobloPk4FBETt299rD1MQ-c/s1600/04B-DominoClock_ContextLivingRoom.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564469829965099362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZkiMy7tTZIJ_laSTmKILblN12UiXMmoG-b3AnXRQlYiXofIHTmEfWomzSKvxvbAqUQNFlUsWxSNxnUagA4lwIALWnym0eI-BWMXlOa4tWZBBOFuTGjTSPmobloPk4FBETt299rD1MQ-c/s400/04B-DominoClock_ContextLivingRoom.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 312px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT79RlQ6jWV2T8zVkdbtO3bV-epCewYwsoggbdy3hXNHZDCOrNd6LuQcV0UN2Y4cj3siDBn9B3xRwhbvuMMPgnUQMs1PLGqEQxNKN6wVcW8DRIVIfUcIGtNw3AcDcSIr6wHEAHfSvyyhI/s1600/domino_wall_clock_2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564472906497782322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT79RlQ6jWV2T8zVkdbtO3bV-epCewYwsoggbdy3hXNHZDCOrNd6LuQcV0UN2Y4cj3siDBn9B3xRwhbvuMMPgnUQMs1PLGqEQxNKN6wVcW8DRIVIfUcIGtNw3AcDcSIr6wHEAHfSvyyhI/s400/domino_wall_clock_2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 523px; height: 419px;" /></a><br /><br />"The numbering scheme on dominoes and dice developed as a way to represent numbers that’s immediately recognizable, so in a lot of ways it makes perfect sense to use it as a time piece," explains Sullivan. "Everyone gets it, but the fact that we’re not used to seeing it in this context makes it unexpected at the same time. It’s this shift in context that gives the concept a twist."<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHRb5zogY6VvEBclT5BvyO_OhsIuiZ0kV6qbAlo8KoxpYn7Kw3BxI5_DaMeKuNSAVxaXGKvH8hQ-KgJNHjsm91mDGXyfLz4p4B07FQfnCyKO__3KxMtJnwv-6pPBAffWyPTFqGX9vb9sU/s1600/03-DominoClock_TimeDiagram.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564469962934659282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHRb5zogY6VvEBclT5BvyO_OhsIuiZ0kV6qbAlo8KoxpYn7Kw3BxI5_DaMeKuNSAVxaXGKvH8hQ-KgJNHjsm91mDGXyfLz4p4B07FQfnCyKO__3KxMtJnwv-6pPBAffWyPTFqGX9vb9sU/s400/03-DominoClock_TimeDiagram.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 263px;" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fueling the Passion. </span>The Domino Clock was one of a number of ideas bubbling up in the Carbon studio when it was selected to be a Carbon Passion Project. Similar to Google’s 20% Time, Carbon’s Passion Projects are designed to fuel the creative spark. "They’re a way to push the boundaries… to try something new, to take a break from the constraints of client projects and play a little," explains Dan Blase, President of Carbon Design Group. "These projects foster Carbon’s culture of learning and play, and, at the same time, give our team the variety they thrive on."<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Making it Real.</span> Simple ideas often require a good deal of work to keep them simple. "Form-wise, it’s a very literal reference to a domino, so 95% of the up-front heavy-lifting from an aesthetic standpoint is defined from the get-go," says Sullivan. Once the form is set, the conversation moves quickly to feel and function. The reference to real dominoes plays heavily here as well. From their playful falling motion, to the weight of the ceramic materials in your hand, dominoes have very specific physical qualities inherent to them. "The clock wants to communicate these same qualities, from the materials down to the precise motion of the dots."<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiepOij5panJfG8EF0pOBk78xeL76tFkSIn4f9vq5HF7tFOmZE7JthekhM4jP7mizPPih_v7iHB7Nd3OFE6L70SOyLDxxIvAW6xxgKVB2wJL0WOJ2MpgRT-jqKe2oJzCaw1jZPXBh1Ce5U/s1600/04-DominoClock_ContextLivingRoomWider.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564470465544186818" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiepOij5panJfG8EF0pOBk78xeL76tFkSIn4f9vq5HF7tFOmZE7JthekhM4jP7mizPPih_v7iHB7Nd3OFE6L70SOyLDxxIvAW6xxgKVB2wJL0WOJ2MpgRT-jqKe2oJzCaw1jZPXBh1Ce5U/s400/04-DominoClock_ContextLivingRoomWider.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 524px; height: 290px;" /></a><br /><br />"If you imagine a domino scaled up to a foot tall, it would be quite heavy and have considerable inertia. The mechanism that creates the motion needs a sense of gravity to it to give the flip the feel of falling," says Sullivan. It was up to Eric Davis, one of Carbon’s mechanical engineers, to solve the challenge of creating a small mechanism that generated this slow movement, yet was very quiet. The additional challenge of powering thousands of transitions a day without burning through batteries meant Davis would need to design a custom actuator. Ultimately, he developed a mechanism that runs off a small, electromagnetic coil. "You might call it a ‘single-poled motor,’" says Davis. "The magnet and the iron move around the coil… opposite the way motors are usually designed." The device can be fine-tuned to get just the desired flip speed. And, best of all, power is only required to initiate the movement, and not while the device is in either the black or white resting state. <a href="http://news.carbondesign.com/carbon-blog/making-it-real-the-engineering-behind-carbons-domino-clock/">A more detailed explanation and video demonstration of the Domino Clock proof of concept prototype is available on Carbon’s site.<br /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIIFSUqsL_X0jrK7f71rtdaVeQ6Ld04_-ok0jdJ10zQmq9hWBXw6o_VjweJoe9KJlBrZ2dp7l44kr7bg55qUqxZvj2_31T_t-GgYr8Nu-Iljq8-wDki5ANJfjcO6-uuTEEn9DgloRVkl0/s1600/01-DominoClock_Intro.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564470239062432418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIIFSUqsL_X0jrK7f71rtdaVeQ6Ld04_-ok0jdJ10zQmq9hWBXw6o_VjweJoe9KJlBrZ2dp7l44kr7bg55qUqxZvj2_31T_t-GgYr8Nu-Iljq8-wDki5ANJfjcO6-uuTEEn9DgloRVkl0/s400/01-DominoClock_Intro.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 524px; height: 465px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.carbondesign.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564473818781646658" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY-mKAVvSDKJkhCERkMIf1oPI1-QJde9CUHrdUk-qVvGd5wdKw5An1UNJSmVYArgmesWzXzTAAPSHzOzsjhtQde_kb4T9M2HrdMohpWLLsUDRBmNY2RHV-jnxWvnyk3Tq-B0QqglpkBbE/s400/carbon_logo_blog.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 285px; height: 87px;" /></a>

But I found a few companies that make nixie clocks pretty enough for almost anyone's taste. The neon tubes, when combined with blackened bronze, silver chrome, and stunning woods, become an unusual blend of science and art, making a functional item a pretty piece of home decor.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What is a digital Nixie Tube?</span> <blockquote><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnNJ9hcI7nz9bjEgenfH9-F1clzW9D9YRhFwC71cmN3iIyhCk6B9tARg9dGOwPNVy3K6qWxlfCHFrQ1afqARztkHsfz1HFSuuy0ncT-pQTuAX6-Fb70XKXxgElROoBSggzTdgYMN9N44e1/s1600-h/nixie_cathode_anode.gif" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227721716673872690" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnNJ9hcI7nz9bjEgenfH9-F1clzW9D9YRhFwC71cmN3iIyhCk6B9tARg9dGOwPNVy3K6qWxlfCHFrQ1afqARztkHsfz1HFSuuy0ncT-pQTuAX6-Fb70XKXxgElROoBSggzTdgYMN9N44e1/s400/nixie_cathode_anode.gif" style="cursor: pointer; width: 466px; height: 340px;" /></a><br />A nixie tube is an electronic device for displaying numerals or other information. The glass tube contains a wire-mesh anode, and multiple cathodes in the shape of Arabic numerals. Applying power to one cathode surrounds it with an orange glow discharge. The tube is filled with a gas at low pressure, usually mostly neon and often a little mercury and/or argon, in a Penning mixture (Weston 1968), (Bylander 1979,).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiObwPI8VoPNmfV_kjehOxnxvR0HePjs54Ds0WSbU9sNQVe3vszppPKPDBvv6QFMGM5sS9l1CMHGELTevEWyvXOIAv0tW6GSSnAsHZQfdR5TYOMPLbQvrsMGcvwehwBymyTbYTxJDUylGZV/s1600-h/800px-Nixie_clock.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227720749260326146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiObwPI8VoPNmfV_kjehOxnxvR0HePjs54Ds0WSbU9sNQVe3vszppPKPDBvv6QFMGM5sS9l1CMHGELTevEWyvXOIAv0tW6GSSnAsHZQfdR5TYOMPLbQvrsMGcvwehwBymyTbYTxJDUylGZV/s400/800px-Nixie_clock.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 482px; height: 279px;" /></a><br />above: A typical Nixie tube clock.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How Nixie Tubes work</span>:<br />Each glass tube typically contains 10 or more individual cathode wires in the shape of numbers or letters. The cathodes are stacked so that different numerals appear at different depths, unlike a planar display in which all numerals are on the same plane relative to the viewer. The anode is a transparent metal mesh wrapped around the front of the display. The tube is filled with the inert gas neon (and other gases) with a small amount of mercury. When an electric potential of 120 to 180 volts DC is applied between the anode and any cathode, the gas near the cathode breaks down and the digit spreads into a glow.</blockquote><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw2mtKsMw0mbMoaG4tsbv6tm1Jp2ddd5baMRaVJD2WlcDXXAE1_lvgeyGvrTeEximjeM6GLR-p6uBDPMj8TY3h0ioP38Bjln_I9OrX_mTlq7eU0MH0CV3d3btu8wBLQ8Py03khQjpBySgx/s1600-h/Picture+10.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227713233895882930" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw2mtKsMw0mbMoaG4tsbv6tm1Jp2ddd5baMRaVJD2WlcDXXAE1_lvgeyGvrTeEximjeM6GLR-p6uBDPMj8TY3h0ioP38Bjln_I9OrX_mTlq7eU0MH0CV3d3btu8wBLQ8Py03khQjpBySgx/s400/Picture+10.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 537px; height: 118px;" /></a><br /><br />1. <span style="font-weight: bold;">The NIXIE desk clock</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3RuZJw9rtc7dgWyXrdU9tam1VCB6on9QoH7qfypEhuxOGxRGfX24cwAW-9Zgt1pybNQVKJoWcLNFtFazJWdfP7mc0kDSFKNLjXC3Ps2mEHwM2t7fwgWFNQkr0k1oBbsOzrVRPwIGVmIJw/s1600-h/CLOCK-Bedside-Nixie.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227712905238190050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3RuZJw9rtc7dgWyXrdU9tam1VCB6on9QoH7qfypEhuxOGxRGfX24cwAW-9Zgt1pybNQVKJoWcLNFtFazJWdfP7mc0kDSFKNLjXC3Ps2mEHwM2t7fwgWFNQkr0k1oBbsOzrVRPwIGVmIJw/s400/CLOCK-Bedside-Nixie.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 848px;" /></a><br />Above: Silver plated bronze exterior with digital nixie tubes.<br />The desk clock easures 6"H x 11.5"W x 2.5"D and is available in Blackened bronze, Natural bronze, Silver plated<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2.
