how to create a clock that uses water tomeasure time?

The previous poster stated that it will not work, but that is not exactly true.  He is correct in that a pot with a water and a small hole in the bottom will leak water at different rates throughout the day (a lot in the beginning, less later on) because of the pressure of the water column.  The egyptions overcame this obstacle.  What you need to do is have another larger pot that spills into the pot with the hole so that it is always maximally full.  It can spill over into whatever you have to hold it.  The key piece is too have a pot that you will make notches in to keep the hour as it collects the water from the pot with the hole that is kept maximally full.  Since the water is coming out at a constant rate all you have to do is start this off and after each hour make a mark on the inside of the collecting pot.  It you can do this for twenty four hours, you have a water clock!

use time function. =time() and use add and subtract formulas to customize as per ur requirement

If you want to use the time right now:\n\nthis.txtMyFormElementName.Text = System.DateTime.Now\n\nIf you want to use your own time, use the System.DateTime object to create an instance around whatever time you want by passing it day/month/year... etc.

I assume you want to install a sundial.  It has to be aligned precisely to show the correct time.  Here is what wikipedia says about installing one.\n\nInstallation of standard sundials\nTilting the style or gnomon of a standard sundial is the only practical way to install a mass-produced garden sundial so that it will keep time. Some mass-produced garden sundials are improperly designed, and unable to keep time. Many sundials are made to be used at 45 degrees north.\n\nA sundial can be adjusted to another latitude by tilting it so its style or gnomon(s) is (are) parallel to the Earth's axis of rotation. That is, the end of a gnomon should point at the north celestial pole in the northern hemisphere, or the south celestial pole in the southern hemisphere.\n\n \nHorizontal sundial in Taganrog (1833).A sundial can be rotated around its style or gnomon (which must still point at the celestial pole) a maximum of 7.5 degrees to the east or west to adjust to the local standard time zone (time zones are 360 degrees/24 hours = 15 degrees wide). Tilt the sundial so that it is oriented as if it were at the longitude of the center of your local time zone.\n\nTo correct for daylight saving time, a face needs two sets of numerals or a correction table, and must be adjusted for longitude from the center of the time zone. The admittedly informal standard is to have numerals in hot colors for summer, and in cool colors for winter. Twisting the face of the sundial will not work because sundials (except at the north and south pole) do not have equal hour angles.\n\nOrdinary sundials do not correct apparent solar time to clock time. There is a 15 minute variation through the year, known as the equation of time, because the Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical and its axis is tilted relative to the plane of its orbit. A quality sundial will include a permanently-mounted table or graph giving this correction for at least each month of the year. Some more-complex sundials have curved hour-lines, curved gnomons or other arrangements to directly display the clock time.\n\nInstallation of standard sundials\nTilting the style or gnomon of a standard sundial is the only practical way to install a mass-produced garden sundial so that it will keep time.

Hmmm.. People have been measuring time since antiquity. At first they used the position of the sun in the sky (or the stars at night) and the variations due to the seasons. Water clocks were often used in antiquity also, but they were not very accurate.\n\nMechanical clocks of reasonable accuracy became possible after 1200 with the invention of what is called the 'escapement mechanism', but at that time an accuracy of within an hour over a month was good.\n\nGalileo used a pendulum to control the accuracy of clocks about 1600 and this, with the escapement mechanism lead to a greatly improved accuracy then. Several modifications were made for the next century or so and by the middle 1700s the accuracy was within one second over a few months. This lead to the solution of the 'longitude problem'.

Pick a favorite javascript clock. Setup an active desktop and embed a website with the javascript you want.\n\nStardock has pretty awesome looking ones if you have a thick pipe to download it with\nhttp://www.stardock.com/products/odnt/screenshots.asp

The link to Howstuffworks has good illustrations for a pendulum clock.  You may be able to improvise the parts for a project if you understand what is involved.  I know, a sundial would be easier.  Good luck.
