An atomic clock radio - the precise way to keep time and listen to music
atomic clock radio > Find clocks, from an atomic to zen clock
|
With an atomic clock radio, you
have two-in-one clock functions, featuring atomic time-keeping
precision and Radio. So you may listen to the atomic clock radio all
day long or go to sleep to music on your favourite radio station on either
dual frequency of AM/FM.
With your atomic clock radio you will never be late again
because of the precision of the atomic time-keeping clock. As it works
on setting itself from the radio signals it receives from the U.S. Atomic
Clock in Colorado.
You may even choose to travel with your atomic clock radio to keep you
company as it helps when you prefer to travel light and never be late for
Meetings and flight Schedules.
With a built-in power cord and Power source: AC 120 volts, DC 9 volts,
you are now spoilt for choice with the finest range available to choose
from the finest selection of Atomic Clock Radios.

Atomic clocks burst into
the clock world three decades after quartz technology had revolutionalised
the clock industry. The cesium atom's natural frequency was formally recognized
as the new international unit of time in 1967:
This led to the timekeeping performance of quartz clocks
been substantially surpassed by atomic clocks. |

How is this possible? Simple, atoms make up a potential "pendulum" which
has a reproducible rate that sets the standard and it is transmitted via
microwave and satellite technology for much better accurate clocks.
This led to the creation in 1972 of the International (UTC) Universal Time
Co-ordinating Center
Today the Atomic Clock Systems from over 25 countries World-Wide and the USA, feed continous data to the UTC.
In the US, Radio signals beamed from the National Institute of Standards (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado are received by Atomic clocks sold in the USA.
When the atomic clock is set once, it functions within the
four time zones of the continental United States only, which will keep your
atomic clock accurate to within a second over a million years. Never will you
have to reset your atomic clock again, even for daylight-savings time, it's
all done for you automatically.
Although, today different Clock manufacturers have produced many types of
Atomic Clocks the atomic principles behind them are very similar.
There are now three main types of atoms for atomic clocks;
- cesium atoms using different levels of energy in a field of magnets.
- hydrogen atoms using a special walled container to retain the high state of energy.
- rubidium gas absorbs light, at optical frequency involving the right surrounding microwave frequency,
The most accurate and precise atomic clocks manufactured today use the cesium
atom technology.
Due to the maintenance free and perfect time precision of the atomic clocks,
they are in our books the ultimate clocks or clock to have in this day and age.
