  • Features striking mechanism and grasshopper escapement. Took an absurd amount of bricks and time to build.

    This blue clock tower (actually, tower clock) is one marvelous machine!

    what a stunning piece! an opus on the grandest (heh!) scale. your solution for the incorporated striking train is exquisite.

      Thank you very much! It is slightly disappointing that after all the experimentation with count wheel solution, I went back to the thread loop but it is simply much more robust. However, it was very satisfying to find out that if the thread hangs on 16t gear, then 8 bladed fan can be attached to the same axle and one fan blade corresponds to one thread piece. That was the "eureka!" moment that made this striking train possible.

    Glad to see it reach fruition! Well-worth it, too.

      Thanks! Yeah, it took a while to figure everything out. I think I had the most headaches with ensuring that pendulum, bell and weights don't collide.

    Awesome! Can you elaborate on the movement? Grasshopper? What is the accuracy? Love your work!

      Thanks! Yes, it is grasshopper, this one specifically:

      I haven't measured the accuracy yet, but previously with this grasshopper i could get under 1 minute/day error.

    Again a great work. I am thinking about going to a chain drive too, but before buying one, do you know how much weight a chain like the one in your video can handle ? any good shop adress ?

    • @davidziemkiewicz1350
      @davidziemkiewicz1350  2 года назад +1

      I havent tested it to the point of breaking, but it can handle 0.5 kg per single chain. I bought the chain online, piece by piece, in various sources.

      @@davidziemkiewicz1350 500g is not much. I should probably go grasshopper to gain some efficiency. Maybe a 2s period pendulum is not a good choice in that regard.

      @@matthieumeylheuc507 Yes, indeed. If you plan to make a clock that works for a week, chain is probably not the way to go. I think that 2s pendulum is a good compromise between efficiency and accuracy. It is hard to make the period much longer without making it extremely long or using double pendulum, which tends to have much worse Q factor.
