@pcstru Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I am working on a "traditional" verge foliot and I can see that your design is far better than those traditional escapements.
Hope you can post a video of the clock you made with this (new) kind of escapement".
Last question, please: 20 mm you mentioned is the gap between crowns? My english is not good, that is why I do not understad what you mean with "flat at the back".
God thanks, there are not only idiots here on youtube. This is very creative. I'm still fighting with myself to build a (sorry, I only know the German expression for this) Roellchenhemmung or a foliot escapement.
ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC;;; This is exactly what I have been looking for. I have a 6 foot 130 pound pendulum and need it to swing a full 90 degrees. Check out my pendulum on my site, Video 4. Then check out the video in my favoits that says pumping water by hand. And tell me what you think. PLEAS

What is the size (maxl diameter) of the crowns? How many teeth has each crown?
Brilliant design, congratulations.

Thanks.Tip to tip the wheels on that one were 100mm, with 10 teeth per wheel. The crown was ~20mm on the flat at the back.

Never seen a verge escapement in this form before.
Yet it's so easy! Great job.

Yes - I've tried to post a link to a picture but that's not working.
Your clocks are amazing BTW!

Looking good. I have seen some plans of Egg timers using this concept of Verge and Foliet. I would like to build one of these. Thanks for posting.
