A classical pendulum clock is powered by gravitational potential energy by weights. While a hybrid pendulum clock is somehow propelled by electric current. Both have the same pendulum swing as the regulator.
A pendulum's frequency is dependent both on its length as on the value of small g according to Huygens formula. Considering the length stays the same, but only small g varies due to height differences between locations: let's say first position is at sea level, and the next position is at 20 km above sea level. Considering the value of g drops significantly there, the frequency of ticking should become lower at that altitude. Time dilation should also be taken into account, but this is only a very small effect.
However: one of the pendulums is powered by a weight (which is also dependent on the value of g), while the other is powered by an electric battery (which is sensitive to time dilation). What effect would this difference have on their mutual frequencies? Would they start to run out of phase, as one is dependent on a gravitational potential energy power source and the other on a quantum-mechanical potential energy power source. Of which only the latter is intrinsically sensitive to time dilation!
Would love to hear your thoughts on this conundrum. Do the clocks tick in phase with eachother at both locations, or will they start to differ due to the time dilation in the electric power source? Is there some way to do this calculation?
