He began by designing the Primary Oscillatory Interface: the Seconds-Pendulum.

He calculated that for a period of exactly one second, the pendulum required a length of approximately 39.1 inches
Kyle Hambster is a storyteller and craftsman of atmosphere, drawn to the quiet tension between technology and memory. With a background in film restoration and an obsession with mechanical design, Rickel writes about the places where progress and nostalgia collide where gears, circuits, and human hearts still turn in sync.

He lives surrounded by vintage machines and unfinished manuscripts, always chasing the sound of a perfect click.View all by Kyle Hambster
