| What is an Atomic Travel Alarm Clock FIRST OFF THEY ARE NOT TIED TO THE ATOMIC BOMB IN ANY WAY. THE ONE REASON FOR CALLING THEM ATOMIC IS THEY ARE IN TIME WITH THE MAIN ATOMIC CLOCK IN BOULDER, COLORADO USING RESONANCE OF ATOMS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN ACCCURATE TIME. Advantages The main advantage of an atomic travel alarm clock is that it’s gives incredibly accurate time. They are very small and simple to work. Most will come with battery back up so you don’t have to worry about them going out when there is a power outage. No need to ever set the time! The atomic travel alarm clocks do that for you. You do have to set the alarm, though. This is because atomic travel alarm clocks work more like radios than they do clocks. They tune in to the huge atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. They really use the resonance of atoms in order to tell the time rather than small gears and levers. Some atoms resonate so predictably that, well, you can literally set your watch to them. That’s why those non-radioactive atoms are used in atomic travel alarm clocks. One of the usual atoms is Cesium-133, which resonates always at 9,132,631,770 cycles per second. What this means is you get a very accurate travel alarm clock. Disadvantages The main disadvantage is that atomic travel alarm clocks run on batteries. Even though today we have batteries that are very durable, they do not last forever. Another disadvantage is that atomic travel alarm clocks cost more than other types. Sure, they look cool, but do you really need them in this age of cell phones with internet access and super-duper watches. Still some people prefer using travel alarm clocks rather than a phone or watch alarm because the buttons are larger. John Hinman Bedsidealarmclock.com |
