This thing is driven and timed by an external process, as far as I can
see. So the LEGO constructions only counts the time, based on the
external input. The external input here means balls which are blown up
in the tube every minute.
BTW, I have made a clock similar to the one Leo Dorst has (with some
modifications), and it's really fun. You should try, one day!
