How do I make a model of Archimedes water clock?

"Archimedes' water clock has recently been reconstructed, to a smaller scale, by Ioannis Sakkas on the basis of the description given by Stamatis."

Do you mean the Desk Clock? If so, here are the instructions.\n\nhttp://www.howardmiller.com/Product/Details.aspx?StyleID=418\n\n(Click on KEY to Symbols)

Hi Jerry, for me the best solution is http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/\nand you can even set it up for what ever clocks around the world you want. { :-)

Make a Dodecahedron. That's what I did.

Build an abacus.  \nArrange 10 beads on a piece of piano wire.  Every fifth bead should be a different collor.\n--oo--oo0-oooo0--\nMake a few more strings and mount them together in parallel or inline with each other.\n------ooooxoooox\nooo----oxoooox--\n--ooooxoo----ooo\n\nA really cool math based model would be a display of geometric shapes.\n\nYou could go to the matherworld site and print out some patterns for the platonic solids.  Then cut them out and fold them together.  The collection can be displayed in a couple of ways.  The easiest would be to mount them on straws poking out from a block of styrofoam.  The most dramatic would be to arrange them to hang in a mobile.  If you want instructions on making a mobile, send an email to samphelps at yahoo.\n\nPlatonic solids are the 3 dimensional shapes where all the sides are the same.  The most familiar is a cube where each side is a square.  Another is the tetrahedron where each side is a triangle.

one option is to freeze the water, shape it into a concave lens shape, polish it till its transparent, and use the disk like a magnifying glass on the match head.\n\ni saw this actually done on myth busters, although it didn't go very well

You make a container 16 cm by 3 cm (and 1 cm thick) and pour water inside. The weight of the water in gm is your answer.\n\nAnother method is to use Napier's Bones. Just sliding and matching the numbers.

If it's just a school project, you might try pumping it or simply use a bucket. It depends on how large your model and pocket are.\nIn actual aqueducts, the water is already at a higher level (like a mountain spring or lake) so I think it would be fair to replicate that situation.

Here is a template you can print, cut out and form an icosahedron:\n\nhttp://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/icosahedron-model.html\nI would cut out the template from paper and then trace onto some stiff material like cardboard, folding along dashed lines.\nIs that what you wanted, to construct one?

I would suggest purchasing this fine model listed in the below source, if you have the money to do so (the painted plastic one, first one listed).  It is a bit expensive, but it is really the best I know of since it actually shows all the atoms and is quite accurate.  It comes with instructions and even tells you how to paint it.  I actually teach with this exact model.  If you don't have money to purchase that model, it is possible to make it yourself using your own materials, but I would use the photos of this model as a guide to how to go about doing it.  It really depends on what you need it for and how detailed you need it to be.

Either use volumes of revolution or compare cross sections of the sphere and a cylinder with a couple of cones removed. The latter is how Archimedes did it.
