I am definitely not DIY-ing a mechanism like that for my LITTERAL custom-built music box 💀(i am SURE i can make it, only a hand-cranked one though) However, on the other hand, this is very cool!, i was beginning to wonder how these worked, -i thought it might have been a regular spring inside that was un-wound (you know how they remember their set position?) but somehow slowed down... but this makes sense, i almost had the idea right, except the spring is flat and not wound as a normal coil spring is.
Beautifully explained. Quite an impressive amount of Engineering in a compact and cheap toy. Maybe some of these techniques will be dusted off the next time a probe is sent to the surface of Venus, where it is too hot for electronics to function for long? NASA had a challenge in this area recently.
Hey if you see this, I appreciate your video! A few questions if you'll indulge me: 1) Do you think bronze would be a sufficient material for the gearing mechanisms? I am hoping to use bronze casting to slightly over-size the gears and parts, and then bring them to tolerance with files, but I'd hate to do all that work if bronze would be insufficient. If it helps, I plan to use a copper-aluminum-nickel alloy. 2) Do you have a good reference for a resettable drum? One that could have moveable pegs? I know they tend to be built to be permanent, but I am hoping there may be a way to adjust a drum that is secure enough for usage.
THAT MUCH ENGINEERING?! IN SOMETHING THAT WAS MADE FROM SCRAPS IN A SHODDY HALF BAKED CIVILIZATIONAL PERIOD?! YOU HAD TO BE A MUSICIAN, A WELDER AND AN ENGINEER TO BUILD THIS I CAN'T EVEN READ MUSICAL NOTES, THAT'S HOW DEAD THE ART IS! Nah this is tragic my good sir. I need to learn to build one but I want to go the right route. I'm gonna put myself in debt this coming decade to become a mechanical engineer, build a workshop and build a bunch of cool shit! MARK MY WORDS!

Great video. Awesome explanation.

The springs used in old watches are called hair springs/ aka the first batteries of civilisation
Intriguing. This is where the idea behind the programmed loom finally perfected by Jacquard originated, they say.
I liked this very much.
Hello, thank you for your interest in automata.

Hello, thank you for your interest in automata.
Thank you so much, I was wondering how they stopped the spring from unwinding so fast, these engineers of old are truly something else😢😢😢, thank you.
