Flying Pendulum Mechanism - Kinetic Art

This is a homemade model of a flying pendulum escapement mechanism. Escapements are elements of mechanical clocks that convert a continuous rotational motion into an oscillatory motion.

You are man of science. We salute you!

[@pauls5745]

really nice old clocks have this mechanism. the concept can also be in 2D to fit within fine old pocket watches where the shaft with a flywheel rotates within a coil spring for the timing

[@evil17]

Another great vid, thanks for sharing

[@devrajyaguru2271]

man you are awesome. you always got new ideas. thank you sir.

[@renangomes1740]

mecanismo bem pensado Parabéns muito bom vou tentar fazer

[@kenord3437]

Great mate, simply clever, the kids can make it easily, thank you

[@bijankumar2922]

Great idea !

[@EsamoKoram]

But when the ball unravels, it pushes against the direction of rubber band tension, creating chaotic movement. Could this be fixed to the same direction somehow? Other than that it acts nicely.

[@MCsCreations]

Really nice!

tenias un canal en español?

[@joshcrampton8643]

There is a clock in the Leonardo Da Vinci museum in Rome that is powered and controlled by the same flying pendulum

[@stefanpejak9131]

Ball does not keep its momentum, any solution?

[@VictorRivarola007]

Interesting.
So, if I replace the elastic band with an Arduino controlled BLDC motor (to control weather spinning or staying) I could in theory make an electronic one that would not depend on the rubber band?
I could sense weather the contact is made between the ball and the pole by means of using an electrically conductive cable, poles, and my Arduino. It should be normally tied to ground, but connected to Vcc whenever contact is made. I guess it could be connected the other way around too.
Then, the BLDC should be made to spin only when contact is not made!

Victor Rivarola its whether not weather

[@sagarmotiwale8922]

How many link of mechanisms are here in this project can some tell me

[@FranktheDachshund]

What is this sorcery?

[@macherlaamaranth8210]

According to Newton 3rd Law For Every Action, there is opposite equal & opposite Reaction, here this pendulum working on same principle, This is Basic idea, on this base we can go for next step innovation, Nice Innovative video sir.

[@stefanpejak9131]

I did it thank you so much...

[@Lovreli]

how long does it spin for?

[@amicklich6729]

I'm wondering as well. As a kid I accidentally built something similar, this video brings back some memories.
Put a stopwatch on this : )

[@poweredbysergey]

Cool

[@hemanthkumarHere]

listening to that intro in headphones gave me shock.

[@shashwatgarg43]

Does it spin upto infinity ?

[@ludicscience]

To infinity and beyond

[@shashwatgarg43]

Thanks for reply sir, is there a justification or it is just an illusion.

[@sidneyeduardo5236]

Muito Bom m

ma shaa allah ..thats very important

ikr XD

[@PPShishodia]

It is really fake

[@EsamoKoram]

Cool
