Hi Willy,
That’s a great idea, thanks for showing us. Maybe someone will include it in
their Sundial Software?

Hi Larry,
That's interesting in that you did a Sundial Patent. I’ve often wonder if it is
worth it to Patent things as the cost could be high. I hope you don’t mind me
asking, did you make any money and did it make you rich?
I’ve downloaded your paten into my “Make Sundial” folder. Has the
Hi Helmut,
Ok about Willy’s sundial. I need to install SONNE onto my new Laptop compute
and see what it can do, thanks. I did have SONNE on my old computer. Willy’s
sundial is interesting, maybe make one from a drinking glass and paint the hour
lines using hobby glass paint.

I have even used Dialist’s Companion to point a satellite disc the correct
azimuth. Wait until the sun is at the required azimuth and then move the disc
until the LNA horn shadow is in the middle of the disc. And to determine where

Hi Steve,
This map is interesting as it really says something. Have a look at Greenland,
China and Russia. Greenland covers 5 time zones with a square red section in
East Greenland being completely different. This section looks like it maybe the
same time zone as Iceland, I wonder why,
And in the most Western part of China. China Standard time (CST) would be 3
hours different than their sundial time. I wonder if there are photos showing
this?

Very interesting. Would I be correct in saying that some of the photos were not
taken on the 11th hour on the 11th month? By looking at the shadows on the edge
of the projected image, it looks as if the date is after the 11th Nov. And
would it have another perfect image when the sun latitude

Thanks that is interesting. I have always though about how our Australian
Aboriginals determined time. Do you have any information on that?

The sundial normally needs to be designed for your latitude. That is the Gnomon

The shadow forming edge of the Gnomon must be parallel the the axis of the
earth. To do that the shadow forming edge of the Gnomon is set to be the same
as your latitude. The only difference in the southern hemisphere is the the tip
of the Gnomon is facing South. While in the Northern
