What You Need To Recognize About Atomic Travel Alarm Clocks

First off, you don't need to be scared of atomic travel alarm clocks in the way you need to be scared of atomic bombs

. You won't be in any danger of radiation exposure with an atomic travel alarm clock. You also won't be in any danger of being invaded by an army because President Bush mistakes your atomic travel alarm clock for a weapon of mass destruction. They're just really spiffy little clocks and not as annoying as phone alarm clocks.

Advantages

The main advantage of an atomic travel alarm clock is that it's gives incredibly accurate time. Unlike the most famous atomic clocks in America, they are very small and easy to work. If you get them with batteries, then you don't have to worry about them going out when there is a power outage.

Oh, yes - and you don't have to set the time. The atomic travel alarm clocks do that for you. You do have to set the alarm, though. This is because atomic travel alarm clocks work more like radios than they do clocks. They tune in to the big atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. They actually use the resonance of atoms in order to tell the time rather than little gears and levers. No, I don't understand what that means, either.

Some atoms resonate so predictably that, well, you can literally set your watch to them. That's why those non-radioactive atoms are used in atomic travel alarm clocks. One of the usual atoms is Cesium-133, which resonates always at 9,132,631,770 cycles per second. The practical upshot of which is that this makes for a great clock.

Disadvantages

The main disadvantage is that atomic travel alarm clocks run on batteries. The greatest clock in the world will not be of any use to you if you don't have any batteries to run it. It's a shame we don't have batteries that work predictably with the resonance of Cesium-133 atoms.

Another disadvantage is that atomic travel alarm clocks cost more than other types. Sure, they look cool, but do you really need them in this age of cell phones with internet access and super-duper watches. Some people still prefer using travel alarm clocks rather than a phone or watch alarm because the buttons are bigger. For me, the biggest disadvantage of an atomic travel alarm clock is that niggling voice of doubt in the back of my mind that this thing will explode on me.
