Need reliable electrical or mechanical 24hr timer

AI Thread Summary
A reliable electrical or mechanical 24-hour timer is needed for a home project, requiring at least 50 cycles with a cumulative error of no more than ±30 minutes. There is confusion regarding the cumulative error period, specifically whether it applies to 50 cycles over 24 hours. Suggestions for components are sought, but the discussion raises the question of why a standard clock cannot be used instead. Clarification on the specifications and requirements for the timer is essential for appropriate recommendations. The focus remains on finding a timer that meets these precise performance criteria.

It needs to perform at least 50 cycles with a cumulative error of no more than [+\-] 30 minutes. This is for a home project.

Any suggestions of components?

I'm not sure I understand...why can't you use a clock (either electrical or mechanical)?
 
How E-Bike Battery Fires Became a Deadly Crisis in New York City https://www.yahoo.com/news/e-bike-battery-fires-became-120807964.html Do not bring Li batteries into an apartment or occupied structure. They should be stored in non-flammable structures, either metal, brick or cement/concrete. Don't overcharge batteries. Know what to do if one catches fire. Keep them away from flammable materials. Make sure the batteries are not counterfeit. Be cautious of used or damaged batteries.
I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...
Hi. I noticed that all electronic devices in my household that also tell time eventually lag behind, except the ones that get synchronized by radio signal or internet. Most of them are battery-powered, except my alarm clock (which runs slow as well). Why does none of them run too fast? Deliberate design (why)? Wrong temperature for quartz crystal? Decreasing battery voltage? Or just a coincidence?
