    This is exactly how a mechanical clock works - the weight is replaced with a spring, and the "spinning" stick is replaced with a flywheel. Very old grandfather clocks indeed had weights hanging down that powered the flywheel.

    • @0neMadGypsy
      @0neMadGypsy Месяц назад +4

      Heh, I just said basically the same thing. I brought it a tiny step further, and debunked this as a DaVinci "invention" based on the fact that the weighted clock was invented 170ish years before DaVinci was born. He just repurposed the tech to spin a stick instead of clock hands.

    In a scenario where I'd be living in a permanent camp I'd do this but it seems a bit too much work if I'm gonna be somewhere temporarily.
    Also, sitting by the fire and turning the meat over yourself has its own charm.

    • @0neMadGypsy
      @0neMadGypsy Месяц назад

      Yeah, but sitting there turning the meat wastes a lot of time. I guess it depends on how established your camp is.
      I'm thinking that while this meats auto turning you could completely restock the wood you just used for the fire.

      @ardgeighw5174 2 месяца назад +13

      @PayterX
      I dont think you understand what they're saying. They aren't describing a perpetual motion device. They are describing an easy-reset mechanism. You just set up the pulling string on the other side of the spit, then when your rock bottoms out, you simply move the rock to the other string, and it runs the entire process in the other direction, which causes the first line to reset itself. It is not a perpetual motion machine because it requires human labor to reset the kinetic energy that powers the device. It is just quicker and easier than having to manually re-wind the string every time the rock gets to the bottom.

      Forest survival games don't tend to have 50 feet of rope, and when you are starving to death, making a bunch of grass rope isn't high on the priority list. Shit, even if they had the rope they don't generally have food. Certainly not enough of it to invest the time and labor into making an automatic rotisserie.

    @teatowel11 Месяц назад +2

    If the line that goes to the big rock leaves horizontally it will even out the force coming from the escapment mechanism and won't be pulling the spit up off the supports.
    You can do this by redorecting the rope arpund a pulley or smooth branch.
    The sticks you added increase the diameter of the spit meaning it will spin slower but with more torque, this worked well and could be amplified by using bigger sticks or by having a smaller diameter on the virticle entrapment stick.
    Great build, bravo.

    @THX1138-ss6nv 2 месяца назад +3

    That looks really fun and satisfying to build. I think increasing the stick bundle's diameter on the end of the spit would slow the rotation.

    • @0neMadGypsy
      @0neMadGypsy Месяц назад +1

      Yes, but it would not slow down the rest. So your chicken might turn a lot slower, but you won't get more time out of it. If you want more time and turn the chicken slower, make the spinning pivot thinner. It can only release however much rope it takes to make a half turn, so by making the pivot thinner it's releasing less rope. The rock comes down slower, the spit turns less.

  • @liviuursegr
    @liviuursegr 2 месяца назад +2

    the diameter of your spit and the vertical spinning stick will give you the "gear ratio". so adding the extra twigs on the stick also helped achieving the desired "roasting" revolutions 😁

    • @0neMadGypsy
      @0neMadGypsy Месяц назад +3

      That's correct, but using a thinner vertical spinning stick would not only slow the spit rotation, but also slow down the descent of the big rock. Really, the main question is: how much rope do you want to release on every half turn? Once you know that, find a stick (desired half turn slack * 2) in circumference.

  • @ryankozak99
    @ryankozak99 Месяц назад +1

    If it is "overpowered", you can whittle down the stick where the rope is wound. This lowers the torque proportional to the diameter change, and increases running time (total turns).

    Neat construction, theoretically if the rock builds up enough momentum to be caught properly you could make it more efficient by using four "braking" sticks rather than two and double the time the rotisserie operates, the two extra sticks may not even need to be braced, just driven into the ground.

    If you did this again, could you skip de-barking the posts the rock wraps around?
    And instead of boring any holes could you use two crossbeams and lash a square to hold the twisting post? And maybe with a rock pile to anchor the rotating base?
    Did the rope try to yank the spit towards the tree or was that not an issue?

      Why do people keep acting like this is some major build? You need 8 sticks, 2 holes, 1 big rock, 1 small rock, and some rope. It shouldn't take more than about 20 minutes to build this. Most of it is just shoving sticks in the mud. Really, the only part of this build that is a little hard is making that dovetail, and customizing a stick to fit in it perfectly.

    For all that work wouldn't it be prudent to just do by hand? Unless you n are in a cottage location 🙂

    not sure if you've done one, just posting here b/c thid is one of your most recent. YOU SHOULD DO A CHRISTMAS TREE TO TOP OF CAR video incorporating trucker's hitch and taut line hitch. If you showed both ways (for someone with car rack, and someone without) think woulf be great christmas themed video would probably get a lot of views 🤷‍♂️..just my two cents
