A HORIZONTAL SUNDIAL

The type of sundial that everyone will recognize. How it is designed and how it works.

Fantastic! This will become a homeschool project.

I had recently made a sundial that wasn't working correctly and I suspected the gnomon width to be the problem. Thanks for confirming that.

Great video. The graphics really helped.

[madamsloth]

Awesome vid! Thanks for explaining the importance of magnetic N v Geo N. As well as that commercial sundials won’t work

[rogerdignard]

Thanks, I plan on doing some more when I can film without snow on the deck!

[vernonraines]

Excellent explanation! Thanks, I have subscribed to your youtube videos.

Very Helpful, thank you. I took notes to use for the STEM class I will be conducting in a couple months.

Have you made these yourself? Do you have a CNC machine?
Great video btw :)

Thanks for the info...so to be clear...what thickness should i use for a wooden one?

I have to sit around all day and hope the sun is shining so I can mark the lines on. Funnily enough I'm at 43° south so this is perfect. Maybe over time I'll understand this better. I built an artillery sundial a few years back but I think it got blown around a bit in the wind so I'm not sure how accurate it is. Anyhow. Maybe getting smarter. Thanks again.

I made a sundial and angled the nomen at 26 degrees (Johannesburg) then pointed it geo north but its a good 45 mins off, why would that be?

[alexandrevaliquette]

QUESTIONS:
What is the benefit of a style angled toward the north star Vs just a simple vertical rod?
With a simple vertical stick, the number will be in a counter clockwise order, but other than that I don't see any problem.

With the velocity of the magnetic pole, shouldn't there now be a need to have the ability to adjust the face of a horizontal sundial to continue to accurately point to the magnetic pole?

Excellent information. Are you going to make some new videos?
