  2. Wind powered sundial • Wheatstone polarizing dial with dipleidoscope • Civil time ring (bracelet) dial • Vercasson’s Foster Lambert dial • Ozanam map dial • Hologram dial

  3. A cone whose vertex angle is twice your latitude can be used to make a dial that reads hours from sunrise and hours to sunset. Sundial in Genk, Belgium

  10. Wheatstone Polarizing Dial (invented ~ 1848)

  11. Scattered light is polarized

  12. Polarized Sky

  13. So What?

  14. Lets build a modern polarizing sundial(adapted from Bradley Schaefer’s polarization sundial article in Sky and Telescope, May 1997) • Camera Lens Polarizer (linear, not circular as for digital cameras) • ½ wave retarder film

  15. In use, the sunlight first passes through the half-wave film, and then the polarizer. “Sandwich” doesn’t work if it is flipped over. Cement film between polarizer and glass window(use clear epoxy or UV optical adhesive)

  16. Using Scope

  17. Models

  18. Dent

  19. Retroreflector

  38. All read local, not civil, time. • No currently available ring dials are latitude specific. • Scale is confusing • Morning and afternoon hours on same hour line • Dates are typically Zodiacal, if at all. • Takes some dexterity to suspend and read at same time. • But it is a great piece of jewelry! Being specific to location it tells the recipient “only for you.”

  39. Lets build a ring dial

  40. (Afternoon example)

  41. (Afternoon example) Altitude 26 degreesWinter Solstice

  42. Suspend ring dial by pivot, not string or chain link
