Thanks! I recognize some of your videos, the cube is clever. I've made a bit more progress on the LEGO clock escapement, with the goal to have it auto-winding using power functions, but it seems to be on a perpetual backburner. Here's more fodder for other projects you might like: johnrausch.com/PuzzlingWorld/chap05.htm
@@sforbs pretty cool! By the way, I’ll definitely give you a quick shoutout in the video, I managed to make a 40 tooth escapement with a very similar design to this so you deserve it
It's good to see you putting that new engineering degree to use towards bettering humanity. The 24 tooth looks especially interesting, although the gear is definitely not the optimum shape for an escapement.
@BenVanDeWaal Thanks! To get things adjusted just right, I used some odd little pieces to change the shape/location of the contact point on the pendulum. These were different for each mechanism, some adjustable (mechanism #2, #4, and #5) and some not adjustable (#1, #3) I used part 32028 on mechanisms #1 and #5 to make the arm on the pendulum the right length. Mechanisms #2 and #4 use part 3794 with a "tile" piece on top that can be adjusted The part supporting the locking lever is part 2817.
@KEvronista The angle on the 40th tooth wheel, then i mean between the teeth makes it almost impossible to make a gripping/ stopping mechanism on it. I've tried it a lot because it would be ideal 40 seconds times 2/3 is 1 min exactly.
Your video is really fantastic! What strikes me most is the apparent (but deceivingly) simplicity of your constructions. I myself had to think of some tricks to get things really well adjusted, notably the use of adjustable contactpoints and choice of rotation points, given the limitations of Lego. Apparantly you did not have these difficulties, using (I guess) Lego parts I do not know of. Specifically ,I would like to know what part is used that contacts the pendulum with the scapewheel (contd)
(contnd) at the moment of impulstransfer; it looks like an (adjustable?) sandwich of three thin plates. My 2nd question is: where is the locking lever resting on and rotating about? It must have a hole, but seems rather thin. Is this a genuine Lego part? Kind regards, Ben.
thanks for this! I know I'm more than a decade late, but this video is gonna be super helpful in a later video

@@sforbs nice to see ya

Brilliant use of Lego Blocks!!
Very nice! This may be old, but could you do a short build video on the 8 toothed escapement?

Hey, can you do tutorials for the 6 and 24 tooth ones?Great video btw!
Very Nice!
Ben.
Genius. Thanks for this!
@Error383 Cool! I'd love to see how you did it, it sounds like a very efficient set up.
My son is trying to build a clock escapement. Could you post the directions to show how it was built for him?
nice but how much did the weight weigh?
So you are using galileo's escapement?
thank you
@sforbs Thanks.
Cool vid
Which lego???
Nice
