Continue to blow my feed up. I just installed a Plugin to remove shorts. Have a good time debating
Yeah, I kind of see what you mean ("complicated"), with that large spinner so far away and the horizontal rope blocking the walking on the terrain. Let me say that the entire "escapment" mechanisn could have been a lot smaller (1/3 to 1/4 of what is shown here - arm and rope lengths...) and still do the job we expect from it. And being smaller, it also could have been mounted ON THE SAME POLE where the "turkey-turning wheel is (aside the fire). More "awe", less "arrgghh" ! But, hey, thumbs up for that practical demonstration, already !! In practice, an escapement mechanism can be small, if it is solid enough. The goal is to optimize the "delay" it provide, which can be tricky to adjust (how many turns the rope spirals, grippin' itself around the pole, how many seconds between each escape, etc.). But the height of the pulley from which the water jug hangs... that one: the higher the better, yes.
I would recommend taking one full turn of the rope around the bicycle wheel. The added friction of the rope will avoid slippage if heavier objects are placed on the spit.
@Rein_Ciarfella that was what I thought it had but you can't see that one wind. Unless it's hiding at the edge of the rim. He doesn't get a close enough view. There could be enough friction without any winds around it but if the chicken or whatever you're roasting was heavy on one side it might not rotate. Definitely one wind around the rim would be the ticket, provided it doesn't turn into itself and lockup. If one had the escapement already built, it wouldn't take but a few minutes to set it all up. Just don't let the kids play tag anywhere near it or......
@@hollybernabe1809 Yeah, you’re right.. Good eye! That was an oversight on my part in the editing process, sorry. It turns but it goes in spurts, not continuously because of the type of escapement. If interested, you can check out my two most recent UA-cam videos (not shorts) which show it turning.

It's a very old governor, they are based on rotating inertia forces. After this it was designed with 2 rotating arms and a spring to control speed of a steam engine.
@@l.scales7516 Great point. As you speed up the arms move and change the moment of inertia leading to negative feedback which keeps the speed relatively constant even though the spring force changes. It was one of the first control systems. They were used for hundreds of years until we figured out how to get an analog electrical circuit to do the feedback.
A governor would spin faster to use centrifugal force to swing out the spring arms to open a steam valve to release enough steam out to slow the engine .
I've heard some folks in the medieval times used a special breed of dogs to spin the spid that is extinct now because no one had a use for them anymore. But this is more elegant 4 sure.
The work of a true genius that had to work with the technology of his time which was pretty much nothing compared to what we have now, truly remarkable
At this point I think most tools for shapping wood had been made, blacksmithing was pretty good by this time, and they could cast metals, make glass( kinda ), Also I think they had the ability to turn on a type of lathe small brass peices and copper.
@@RoboArc Glass was around for 4,000 years before DaVinci. They were blowing glass 2,000 years before. The stained glass used in Cathedrals was invented 1,000 years prior. They were also casting metal 5,000 years before DaVinci. In his time, they had high tensile spring-steel capable of deflecting bullets. 100 years before DaVinci was born, the largest cannon, the Mons Meg, was created in Scotland, with a 20 inch wide barrel, almost 20 feet long, capable of firing a 300 pound cannonball over 2 miles.
@daciolaires6445 I mean I had history classes in school all my life 😄 most of this should be common knowledge. I knew DaVinci was around durring a fairly robust time in history. 🙃 I mean its only been like 550 years.
@@hanshananigan1233 just to be clear, this is not the mechanism used in most clocks or watches. There are some other ones that don't rely on gravity. They're better but more complicated and often rely on a spring moving back and forth or for a grandfather clock, a pendulum swinging back and forth. This kind of mechanism could be used to make a clock, but it's size makes it less than ideal. You should look at music boxes too, they keep their speed by spinning a fan really fast until the air resistance keeps it from going any faster
@@Syllarenhe didn’t rig it correctly, that’s why the spit isn’t turning. I guarantee this dude ended up throwing it in a cast iron pot right after this 😂😂😂
@seapackgaming4316 the mechanism is very simple, from what is shown, I have no reason to think it wouldn't turn during the times when the milk jug is actually able to fall.
@@seapackgaming4316 he did rig it correctly. if you understood how this contraption worked, you would understand that the spit is rotated a specific amount for short periods of time, only while the escapement mechanism is not tangled/engaged with one of the bars on its sides, which is what is preventing the spit from spinning too rapidly.
He is the male answer to the female that made brownies for her husband by fermenting and roasting her own cacao beans, grinding them, etc to make him brownies 😊
This guy is living proof that Americans don't ALWAYS find the easiest way to get a job done. I'm sitting here thinking. You only have to build this once, and you can use it again and again.
idk, looks like maybe a dozen poles, a couple pullets, some rope, a jug, string and rock... most of that would fit in a backpack, you could bundle the poles and carry or attach them to your pack. ez
If you were going to be stationary for a while, maybe a week or more, and you had many people to feed, a setup like this could be really useful. After all, you can put more than one bird, rabbit, roast, etc on the spit. No, it's not practical for light or fast traveling, but if you have a base camp, yeah.
Tbf, it's mostly rope, which doesn't take up that much space, even the wheel and pulleys and things could just be sticks you found lying around. Granted you'd spend as much time setting all this up as you would just turning the spit lol
Super cool thing to help teach kids about history and basic mechanics. Ronco used to sell one of these on latenight TV. They had a slogan. I think it went like this: "Get an old wheel, a pulley, some rope, a whole chicken (don't get the rotisserie chicken already cooked), and about 30 lbs of scrap metal pipe, risk your neck climbing a tree to attach the pulley, and hours later when everything's in place, just SET IT AND FORGET IT!" It's just that easy.
That one friend in Minecraft that creates an entire digital counter to record his mob spawner loot drops, meanwhile you just got enough iron to make a full suit and tools.
Dude was a legitimate genius. Just to be able to put something like this together that’s so simple in principle but the mechanics to get it all to work in unison are mind blowing.
Maybe we're just dumb nowadays so it seems mind breaking. I mean this type of thing was everyday knowledge for a lot of people in the past but no one nowadays could replicate it on their own.
@@nobodyimportant124 right. I guess when simple mechanical systems like this could be the difference between an ez life and a harder one or even life or death it was more common knowledge. Technology has made us so soft
A 1 gallon jug filled with water. A wheel from the scrap bin. 30ft of paracord and some scrap metal. Maybe $10. And will do the same thing as a $300 rotisserie. Thank God for the electric motor, so I can sit around and be a lazy idiot and watch the Kardashians.....
Tried this last weekend. Had to con my way into a scout troop to get the muscle to lug everything out into the woods. Worked like a charm, kids knew the knots and everything.
"never" is a strong word when you have to pull the gallon up to the top every time. The only thing you're doing is putting all your energy in at the beginning rather than having to stay there and do it repeatedly. Also not sure how long this even lasts but you'll probably have to pull the gallon up more than once before the thing is finished cooking. Still a very cool contraption.
@MKu64 I initially thought the same because of perpetual motion but to cook a chicken it takes say 20-40 minutes, if it could swing that long off of your initial inertia. It does work. Edit: looks more like a turkey but could still swing for a hour or two with the 200 feet of rope he set up
he makes several small mistakes, like not focusing for a second or two on the rope being coiled many times around the center pole, and mention that every time the arm SWINGS, it unwinds one coil, and rotates the bird 1/4 of a turn.
Yes, you’re right. I couldn’t fit every detail in the 60 second clip and made the editing mistake of not even showing the chicken rotate. 😳 If interested in seeing it in action more then check out my two most recent UA-cam videos (not shorts).
That contraption was not created by da Vinci. You built that contraption he built the design for that contraption and conceptualized it function. That is pretty awesome.
That was an oversight on my part in the editing process, sorry. It turns but it goes in spurts, not continuously because of the type of escapement. If interested, you can check out my two most recent UA-cam videos (not shorts) which show it turning and explain more about how it works.
It was, but the escapement only allows about an inch or so for every cycle, so turning the chicken about a 20th of a revolution every 10 seconds. It would take a long time to cook it!!
When I was a kid in Cub Scouts, for a short time I had a good den leader, the father of a fellow scout, who had us group of boys make things with wood. One of those things was the escapement. He didn't tell us what it was or what it could be used for. It was single-sided and small enough to fit on a desk top. I'm glad he took time to teach us useful skills.

@@Todd-tq7csI think you're missing the point. DaVinci not only understood the several scientific principles involved -- in the 1400s, when nobody else did, he also operationalized each one and then combined them to create a working machine. That made him a scientist, an engineer, and one of the founders of automation hundreds of years before those terms existed. Working mostly alone. Using (what we would call) primitive tools and materials. And saving people having to stand by the fire for hours, making sure the fowls don't turn out burned on one side and raw on the other.

@cocainecar4200...It will turn in increments. But only when the arm on the escapement mechanism swings out to either side thus dropping the gallon of water a few inches. When the gallon of water drops that motion turns the b.b.q. The string wrapped around the escapement mechanism stops the motion temporarily.

Awww! Thanks for that feedback! I just tried to copy 15th Century technology. It wasn’t easy. 😆
That was the first robot
Very simple at the same time
It's... a clock ! ⏲️
Yeah, I kind of see what you mean ("complicated"), with that large spinner so far away and the horizontal rope blocking the walking on the terrain.
Let me say that the entire "escapment" mechanisn could have been a lot smaller (1/3 to 1/4 of what is shown here - arm and rope lengths...) and still do the job we expect from it.
And being smaller, it also could have been mounted ON THE SAME POLE where the "turkey-turning wheel is (aside the fire).
More "awe", less "arrgghh" !
But, hey, thumbs up for that practical demonstration, already !!
In practice, an escapement mechanism can be small, if it is solid enough. The goal is to optimize the "delay" it provide, which can be tricky to adjust (how many turns the rope spirals, grippin' itself around the pole, how many seconds between each escape, etc.).
But the height of the pulley from which the water jug hangs... that one: the higher the better, yes.
I would recommend taking one full turn of the rope around the bicycle wheel. The added friction of the rope will avoid slippage if heavier objects are placed on the spit.
I WOUNDRED MYSELF WHY THERE WASN'T A FULL TURN AROUND THA DRIVING RIM ☝️ AND IT WOULD STILL TURN IN THA SAME DIRECTION ANTI CLOCK-WISE
The chicken wasn't turning in the video. I wondered if it was because bare rope on a slick wheel rim would just slip and slide.
@Rein_Ciarfella that was what I thought it had but you can't see that one wind. Unless it's hiding at the edge of the rim. He doesn't get a close enough view. There could be enough friction without any winds around it but if the chicken or whatever you're roasting was heavy on one side it might not rotate. Definitely one wind around the rim would be the ticket, provided it doesn't turn into itself and lockup. If one had the escapement already built, it wouldn't take but a few minutes to set it all up. Just don't let the kids play tag anywhere near it or......
@@hollybernabe1809 Yeah, you’re right.. Good eye! That was an oversight on my part in the editing process, sorry. It turns but it goes in spurts, not continuously because of the type of escapement. If interested, you can check out my two most recent UA-cam videos (not shorts) which show it turning.

DiCaprio is such a genius
The comprehension of the mechanical principles of this device can and will come in handy for some. Good to know👍💯
It allows people to build and to work on mechanical clocks and watches. Same principal.
This is, quite literally, a work of genius.
Bro would literally do anything but periodically rotate the chicken by hand...
It's a very old governor, they are based on rotating inertia forces. After this it was designed with 2 rotating arms and a spring to control speed of a steam engine.
Also music boxes used it but from being wound rather than steam escaping.
@@l.scales7516 Great point. As you speed up the arms move and change the moment of inertia leading to negative feedback which keeps the speed relatively constant even though the spring force changes. It was one of the first control systems. They were used for hundreds of years until we figured out how to get an analog electrical circuit to do the feedback.
Wait. Is that what the weird little spinning thing with two arm on a train is for?
A governor would spin faster to use centrifugal force to swing out the spring arms to open a steam valve to release enough steam out to slow the engine .
it's not, stop posting plausible sounding nonsense comments
Bro built a hopper clock irl
I've heard some folks in the medieval times used a special breed of dogs to spin the spid that is extinct now because no one had a use for them anymore. But this is more elegant 4 sure.
The work of a true genius that had to work with the technology of his time which was pretty much nothing compared to what we have now, truly remarkable
At this point I think most tools for shapping wood had been made, blacksmithing was pretty good by this time, and they could cast metals, make glass( kinda ), Also I think they had the ability to turn on a type of lathe small brass peices and copper.
@@RoboArc Glass was around for 4,000 years before DaVinci. They were blowing glass 2,000 years before.
The stained glass used in Cathedrals was invented 1,000 years prior.
They were also casting metal 5,000 years before DaVinci. In his time, they had high tensile spring-steel capable of deflecting bullets.
100 years before DaVinci was born, the largest cannon, the Mons Meg, was created in Scotland, with a 20 inch wide barrel, almost 20 feet long, capable of firing a 300 pound cannonball over 2 miles.
@@RoboArc there's the problem ,"You think."
@daciolaires6445 I mean I had history classes in school all my life 😄 most of this should be common knowledge.
I knew DaVinci was around durring a fairly robust time in history. 🙃 I mean its only been like 550 years.
His automatons (primitive robots) were the talk in Europe
This is actually ingenious! It's a basic illustration of how mechanical clocks work! All it takes is the passage of time to turn the spit! :3
I've seen tons of videos about how mechanical watches work. This was actually the most helpful I've ever seen.
@@hanshananigan1233 just to be clear, this is not the mechanism used in most clocks or watches. There are some other ones that don't rely on gravity. They're better but more complicated and often rely on a spring moving back and forth or for a grandfather clock, a pendulum swinging back and forth. This kind of mechanism could be used to make a clock, but it's size makes it less than ideal. You should look at music boxes too, they keep their speed by spinning a fan really fast until the air resistance keeps it from going any faster
@@thedudeamongmengs2051 My father had a clock with an escapement exactly like this one. You're discussing an entirely different mechanism.
I didn't see the spit turn at all. Fully expecting the bird to burn on one side. Congratulations, science! 😂
@@ryanhobbs79 It turns very slowly. I've never cooked on a rotisserie, so I can't comment. Anybody have any experience here? :)

That bird is spinning so fast, it looks like it's not even moving! 😮😂😂😂
It only spins when the rock isn't tangled on the pole, but yeah it would have been good for him to actually film the spit during that timing.
@@Syllarenhe didn’t rig it correctly, that’s why the spit isn’t turning. I guarantee this dude ended up throwing it in a cast iron pot right after this 😂😂😂
@seapackgaming4316 the mechanism is very simple, from what is shown, I have no reason to think it wouldn't turn during the times when the milk jug is actually able to fall.
@@seapackgaming4316 he did rig it correctly. if you understood how this contraption worked, you would understand that the spit is rotated a specific amount for short periods of time, only while the escapement mechanism is not tangled/engaged with one of the bars on its sides, which is what is preventing the spit from spinning too rapidly.
The joke is on you, it is working correctly.

Cool! “Man, that roaster sure was good! Now if I could just remember how to fit it all back into my backpack.”
Backpack? It’s time to pack up the mule. 😁
idk, looks like maybe a dozen poles, a couple pullets, some rope, a jug, string and rock... most of that would fit in a backpack, you could bundle the poles and carry or attach them to your pack.
ez
If you were going to be stationary for a while, maybe a week or more, and you had many people to feed, a setup like this could be really useful. After all, you can put more than one bird, rabbit, roast, etc on the spit. No, it's not practical for light or fast traveling, but if you have a base camp, yeah.
How primitive does it have to be in order to have a rock as a key component
Tbf, it's mostly rope, which doesn't take up that much space, even the wheel and pulleys and things could just be sticks you found lying around. Granted you'd spend as much time setting all this up as you would just turning the spit lol
Super cool thing to help teach kids about history and basic mechanics. Ronco used to sell one of these on latenight TV. They had a slogan. I think it went like this: "Get an old wheel, a pulley, some rope, a whole chicken (don't get the rotisserie chicken already cooked), and about 30 lbs of scrap metal pipe, risk your neck climbing a tree to attach the pulley, and hours later when everything's in place, just SET IT AND FORGET IT!" It's just that easy.
They always put a positive “spin” on things. 😂

Maybe we're just dumb nowadays so it seems mind breaking. I mean this type of thing was everyday knowledge for a lot of people in the past but no one nowadays could replicate it on their own.
@@nobodyimportant124 💯
@@nobodyimportant124 right. I guess when simple mechanical systems like this could be the difference between an ez life and a harder one or even life or death it was more common knowledge. Technology has made us so soft

Can you imagine what Lenardo could invent if he was born say 1970? Do I hear warp drive?
Never been so happy that someone invented the electric motor
True, but it’s fascinating to see the ingenuity before the electric motor too. 😁
Steam etc?
Electric motors rely on electricity, which is not always available...
This is more of a battery
A 1 gallon jug filled with water. A wheel from the scrap bin. 30ft of paracord and some scrap metal. Maybe $10. And will do the same thing as a $300 rotisserie. Thank God for the electric motor, so I can sit around and be a lazy idiot and watch the Kardashians.....
Tried this last weekend. Had to con my way into a scout troop to get the muscle to lug everything out into the woods. Worked like a charm, kids knew the knots and everything.
Davinci: "Hold my beer, I'm going to cook a chicken".
that is just a beautiful mechanism, thanks for building and showing :)
"never" is a strong word when you have to pull the gallon up to the top every time. The only thing you're doing is putting all your energy in at the beginning rather than having to stay there and do it repeatedly.
Also not sure how long this even lasts but you'll probably have to pull the gallon up more than once before the thing is finished cooking.
Still a very cool contraption.
Rewind every 24 minutes but I’ll try to extend the time
dude...thanks for clearing that up, your genius!
@@davidrogol
Maybe a compound pulley system where two or more lengths of rope get pulled for every one that the jug of water travels through?
I'm learning physics and this literally makes sense about converting different forms of energy
@@steamer2k319 You're trying to hard. Simply hang the jug of water, twice as high in the tree for double the time.

@@gein2287 Except it does work 😂
@MKu64 I initially thought the same because of perpetual motion but to cook a chicken it takes say 20-40 minutes, if it could swing that long off of your initial inertia. It does work. Edit: looks more like a turkey but could still swing for a hour or two with the 200 feet of rope he set up
That's one of the coolest things I've seen in awhile

It’s an escapement. It’s how mechanical clocks and watches work too.
They said his gallon jug was full of
Sweet baby rays BBQ sauce that's what gave Leonardo the inspiration.
he makes several small mistakes, like not focusing for a second or two on the rope being coiled many times around the center pole, and mention that every time the arm SWINGS, it unwinds one coil, and rotates the bird 1/4 of a turn.
Yes, you’re right. I couldn’t fit every detail in the 60 second clip and made the editing mistake of not even showing the chicken rotate. 😳 If interested in seeing it in action more then check out my two most recent UA-cam videos (not shorts).

Too busy lamenting that he should have stayed on the other side of the road. 😅
It was, but the escapement only allows about an inch or so for every cycle, so turning the chicken about a 20th of a revolution every 10 seconds. It would take a long time to cook it!!
It was done crossing the road.

Using (what we would call) primitive tools and materials. And saving people having to stand by the fire for hours, making sure the fowls don't turn out burned on one side and raw on the other.
