Your welcome, thank you for your kind words.

If you increase the distance between the long wind poles that are at 8" a bit, but keep the rotating arm the same length, you should be able to make a simple way to change the timing of the device by just shortening or lengthening the pendulum rope for a rough adjustment of the escapement. More precise timing, if the swinging weight of the pendulum was a threaded rod section, you could put a nut on the threaded rod to dial up or down to change the time precisely. A very nice piece all the same.

This looks amazing! I love the design and the rachet, weight system. I've made a simple version and build it with some students, talking about clock mechanisms- We used paper cups, rubber bands, skewers, string and pasta :-) It worked, but of course not as elegant. I wish I had the skills and tools to make one like yours.

@@SoatMon I am fascinated by this mechanism! But one thought, while you say you achieved 17 second intervals, you wish you had 20, so 3 motions would equal one minute. But it seems to me, it may be easier to shorten the string enough to achieve 15 seconds? Then 4 motions would equal one minute. Not that it makes a great difference, but it might be easier to do? Anyway, loved your project! Truly inspiring.

I wonder what would happen if you put a spring on the end between the weight and the line that turns; good job

Side Hanging bolts u inserted not to over shhot of hanging wire, wire will be with in specification limits.

just seen this. be a fun series to follow on with, as always.

“I doubt anybody is ever really gonna build one of these things.” Incorrect! This is a beautiful piece. I made one with your design as a reference. Mine is a bit smaller and I haven’t yet worked out how to incorporate a ratchet mechanism. I’d be curious to know how you did that, because now that I’ve got mine working I understand how difficult winding it is without that feature, lol.

What type of string/chain do you use for the weight?

@SoatMon

6 жыл бұрын

It was 3 strands of thread that I twisted together to form a thicker cord. I think I used nylon to hold up to the abrasion. I bought a light chain to use but changed my mind in the end, don't really have a good reason for not using the chain. I think you could use anything that is light and flexible. Thanks for the comment!

Holy smokes that cool

How long does it take for the weight to drop 12"? I am curious because I build a tardy escapement and it takes 15 minutes for it to fall 5'

@SoatMon

I've never timed it but it would be much quicker than 15 minutes. When I made it I wasn't trying to prolong the fall or time it i any way, just wanted it to work.
