@bradtherad: NP! :P
@andre_teprom: So far this is the most likely scenario I have heard. Sicily is an island and it could have been in a "weather bubble" of it's own.
I wonder why they would come up with an explanation that even me (someone who doesn't know electronics) can spot as a lie...
@BradtheRad
( I think you really meant SPED UP here?)
Well, that was exactly why I came here, because I did not believe the official explanation, just to check if what they said could be true.
I saw it on the Dutch news yesterday: http://nos.nl/video/247495-klokken-sicilie-op-hol.html

But that was not the question, I know that there a motorized timers and antique alarm-clocks with motors and those flipping numbers. I used to have one of those. I am talking about electronic, non motorized clocks, which we know have crystals in them, that have a certain frequency. Now are they...
What switches and motors are you talking about? I do not know much about electronics , but I am quite sure there are no motors in most modern electronic clocks, not in mine anyway....
AH! so new clocks wouldn't do that, I mean, not all electronic clocks all over town? I am asking because in Italy there is a village where ALL the e-clocks in town were sped up... And the "official" reason given was that the power freq was to high. But I though already that a clock with a...
Hi, this is my first post here, but I found a question that begs for an answer.
Is it possible that electronic clocks e.g. alarmclocks, clocks on microwaves and vcr's, run faster because of the frequency of the AC power being too high?
Hope someone knows the answer to this one!:grin:
