About this model
My second attempt at creating a simple, mechanical, weight-driven clock with the fewest parts. It uses 4mm brass shafts, a 1# drive weight, and currently, two ballpoint pens as the winding weight. The pendulum is a 1/4" aluminum tube, and I mounted it to a mirror. It works, but it needs improvement. Specifically: hands a ratcheting winding system a crutch system so that the pendulum does not have to swing as much a clock face a neater way to attach the weights The gear train and escapement are pretty universal so that it may be rearranged (see the not overly accurate previous version in red).
