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.
I saw one at a jewelry shop in the window. Nobody could understand what I was talking about when I told them. THANK YOU for posting this! Like you, I was absolutely fascinated and watch it every time I went by.the place. 🤓
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.
Center of the Moving Rod is inserted in bearing so that center rod in moving universal 360 degrees axis for free moment of the rod irrespective to load of pendulum it is moving 360 degrees Axis, Very Nice Innovative Great idea sir.
“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.
@@SoatMon Have you built a clock to go with that escapement? I can figure your ratios for you if you wish - it's a hobby of mine. Should have a great clock to go with that. :D
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.
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!
Dude that thing is beyond rad ! You should sell them. I’d buy one in a heartbeat!
Thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to explain. I'm glad you liked it.

You're welcome! Thanks for letting know you like them too!
Wow! What a beautiful and fascinating mechanism. Thank you for sharing this!
Your welcome, thank you for your kind words.

That sounds great. I'm sure it got their minds working which is the important part. Thank you for your comment and sharing your experience.

Something new I'd never seen before. Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome, I have always thought they were cool. Thanks for watching!
Davinci invention 1488
Side Hanging bolts u inserted not to over shhot of hanging wire, wire will be with in specification limits.
This was so mesmerizing to watch! I would love o try to make one. Thanks for sharing your talent. Hope you're still creating!
Thanks James! I am still creating, check out my almost 500 videos. Thank you for your kind comment!
That is really, cool! I'd love to make one of those mechanisms. It would be a perfect addition to my radiometer in the living room window.
Thanks, I was really pleased with how it worked out. Thanks for watching!
Lovely build
Very nice escapement. Thank you for sharing and explaining the design. 👋🏻🇲🇽
Glad you like it!

That's Awesome! Thank you for letting me know! It's a multi part series. In part 5 I show the ratchet. ua-cam.com/video/qIV7JoowZaM/v-deo.html
I wonder what would happen if you put a spring on the end between the weight and the line that turns; good job
Any plans available to make one of these?
Very cool project. Thanks for sharing
You're welcome! Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed it. It's one of my favorite things.
Love this, but I really didn't expect Nubs McGillacutty to be showing me this 😂
Thanks!
But also add a a dial hour clock
Looks like a good Design of Experiments opportunity.
Thanks!
just seen this. be a fun series to follow on with, as always.
Good to hear from you Emma, thanks!
Actual for clock 30 second each side. 4 swing side 7 .1/2 per swing= 60 second
What's a 4 swing? That sounds interesting.
Absolutely amazing n fascinating ! Is it available for collection , Sir ?
Thank you but no I don't sell them.
To je krása. Pokusím se to vyrobit.
Thanks!
Thanks for showing this.
You're welcome!
The cat would have a ball with this!😆
Can you add a retrograde minute hand
LOL. I had to google it. That's pretty interesting. That would be a great watch to have. Thanks for mentioning it!
Great work! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! You're welcome!

Excellent !!
Thank you! Cheers!
beautiful! i bet it takes some devotion to rewind though
Thank you!
This will be an interesting series to follow along with! Have never seen a mechanism like this.
Thanks Glenn!
I actually searched and ended up here because I want to make one
Awesome. I hope it goes well for you!
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'
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.
@@SoatMon Thank you
What type of string/chain do you use for the weight?
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
Thanks!
Galileo's pendulum?
nope, Clausen's in 1883 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_pendulum_clock
Awesome model and explanation
Thanks!
Is this for sale?
No
Brilliant! ;o)
Thanks!
I like the shit out of this. Very cool
Thanks Craig!
You're left handed?
No right.
What a cool thing
Thanks!
Wow
Thanks!
Just saw a guy make one of these for a spit rotisserie over his camp fire. he did a chicken. yours is much nicer... but wont do chicken. Sigh...
I think I saw that same video.
I searched for the pendulum and found this video after seeing the one with the chicken
Totally the worst time keeper. The Ignatz clock is still really cool to watch.
That's what I hear but I do like watching it. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
DaVinci invented this
Thanks!
