The
advantage of this sundial is that even if the ball rolls ,
the disc will always remain horizontal. There is one magnet
fixed in the disc which is not visible and this magnet will
keep the disc always oriented to the north. In this way we
don't need to orient the disc to the north. This disc will
also show us the direction . One half part of the disc will
will have the marking for corresponding hours and on the other
half part will have the map of the world which will tell us
the corresponding situation in an other country. On the sphere
we can make the lines of longitude and latitude along with
the world map. These graphics has to be made of thin lines
so that these lines do not restrict the sunrays to enter .
The
other side of the dial (floating disc) can have one more sundial
which is caliberated according to some other country and it
can tell us the time of that country even if we are using
it in India. In this case I would like to caliberate the dial
according to U.K. because for the solar eclipse in August
'99 U.K. is the first land mass.
