    You ever came up with this for the first time is an absolute genius. I'm not so sure that people today could reinvent something like this.

    This is a fantastic video! I love when folks display clocks because I always learn a new design "trick" here and there from the giants who've come before me! I think I'll "map" out this clock. I like figuring the turns per hour of the scape wheel, the oscillator vibrations, etc. Thanks again!!! Can't wait for the next one, Mark!!!

    Looks like good progress there. I think you mentioned it during the vid, but the pallet fork pins looks really really worn. as a pointer for your secondary objective. looking really forward to the continuation, so keep on trucking!

      Good eyes, Lars! Yeah, those pallets are really worn. I've picked up a cheap USB microscope (I've used it in the video), and there is some really interesting damage on this clock. I was going to add it to this video, but I ended up with so much to talk about I decided to make a dedicated video about it.

    This is my favourite vid so far. I have a question... You've described the mechanism, but how does the clock keep time accurately rather than moving at a random pace?

    • @Gearz-365
      @Gearz-365 5 років тому +5

      Smaller clocks use a wheel with a spring that spins back and forth. Larger ones use a swinging weight (or pendulum). It's called the "escapement."

    Great video honesty I'm not sure how much of it I understood but I don't know what I expected when I've never really studied anything like this before.
    I just was looking at my pocket watch and watch-ing it turn then thought "huh wonder how that works" and pressed the first video I saw
    I'm certainly interested in mechanics but can't commit myself to do a deep dive yet
    Maybe eventually I'll circle back to learn more

    I hope its OK if I post this ... you may delete it if you wish ... I am self-taught, and I wish I could take a course. Your teaching is excellent.
    As I see it, the scape wheel turns 577.777 ... times per hour or 288.888 ... vibrations per minute with a vibration of 4.814 ... per second. That puts the minute wheel at one per hour. Then the motion work does its thing. How'd I do, professor?

    • @ticktockworkshop8169
      @ticktockworkshop8169  5 років тому +2

      I'd never delete such a nice comment. If you keep calling me professor you're more likely to get your comment pinned to the top.
      I'm not a teacher, I'm just a student. I only started doing train calculations a month ago, so give me a few days and I'll work everything out, double check my calculations, and give you an answer that is probably, definitely right.
