Hydraulics (Pascal’s law) and mechanical clock: what they have in common

1. Step 1. Hydraulics (Pascal’s law) — is used in — Wave power station. Hydraulic converters.
2. Step 2. Wave power station — works like — Hydroelectric power station. A wave power station, like a hydro plant, draws energy from water — waves instead of a river.
3. Step 3. Hydroelectric power station — uses — Universal gravitation. The energy of falling water.
4. Step 4. Universal gravitation — is used in — Escapement. The pace of the clock is set by a falling weight.
5. Step 5. Escapement — is part of — Mechanical clock. The escapement releases energy in portions and sets the rhythm.
