McDonald straws are still a shit idea. Come up with something clever like a Visual Basic database will ya'. Use version 10 jackass if you are going to do something. I don't mean to sound harsh, but your project sucks. Why don't you build a fucking boat or something interesting. If I was not a gentelman, I would call you a piece of shit at building things.
bobberto60 is right (even if he's an ass about it). It won't work, at least not for an accurate clock. You've got the escapement part working but you still need a timekeeper, like a pendulum. The problem with what you have is that if you use a heavier weight (more pennies), it will go faster, right? It won't keep time accurately. A pendulum keeps accurate time because its swing period is independent of its mass.
Sure, if you added more weight it would go faster, but why would you add more weight? Just like a pendulum -- if you make it shorter it will go faster, so don't make it shorter. Both systems need to be very carefully tuned in real life, not just calculated. His system works on the balance between the force of the falling weight and the various drags. If the string were a mile long, at some point the string's weight would contribute to the falling mass, but I think this is a cool system.
Video starts out "OK Akerman" who is Akerman? Is that the other 4th grader you worked with on this project? Piece of garbage, what a jackass. What did the other 4th graders build?
I agree my escaperment has not been refined but you are right it works. Boberto60 is a jackAss if you know what I mean. He probably sits at home playing with himself.
Thanks for the comment. I will try the rubber band theory. The problem I am faced with is the durability of the material linking the ball to the swing arm, in this case it is the string. String after excessive use will break or the fibers on the string will fray leading to the frayed edges clinging to the poles. I need something durable such as fishing line that does not have any fibers. In my opinion a rubber band will not meet the durability standards I am seeking.
Thanks for the comment. The intent is for this escapment to be the center piece of the clock. Where did you see this perpetual motion 'toy' that uses this concept of a balance spring with two poles and string and ball I would like to see it as well.

How did you get so many hits for this? I have done zero for this project.

That thing is some what clever however it still sucks. Build something else jack. Mr Ass

I think the 2 pennies that make that thing suck. That think is a piece of crap. What do you think about that? I think you made a crap box fucko.
bobberto60 2 years ago
This thing is still a piece of crap. what garbage.
bobberto60 2 years ago
That thing is a piece of crap, two pennies for the weight. That thing sucks.

Got to admit. That's fuckin clever. Really clever.

This is great. I love how it sounds like you're drunk, but you actually did make something that was quite clever.

Good job! Nicely done, Mate!
Thought about building a bigger one?
Imagine a gigantic theeher pole and a weight!
That would be collassal!

man that is more than clever. I think is is aewsome. I got to put this in my favorits.
Hell; I bet it would work great if you replased the string on the ball with a rubber band. DAMN; I got to try this one.
