the clock is powered by its own weight. the clock has a gear which protrudes from its side. this gear engages a row of rack gears, which are fixed vertically to the framework. this arrangement allows the clock to gradually slide down the framework. when it gets to the bottom, the clock must be manually raised to the top again.
yeah, pretty clever. the drawback, however, is that resetting the clock ("saegeuhr", btw, means "saw clock", in reference to the gear rack) undoubtedly disturbs the motion of the pendulum, but it makes for a delightful novelty piece, and Brixe's styling is downright eye candy.
Leider ist tickt die Uhr sehr unregelmäßig. Das könnte daran liegen das sie schief steht (man hat das oft bei hängenden Uhren wenn sie schief sind dass der Tick einfach sehr unregelmäßig ist, da helfen meist ein paar mm um das zu korrigieren.)
16-tooth clutch gear. see it at peeron or bricklink, part number 6542. this part, along with technic plate, part number 4263, is essential for constructing coaxial hands.
@rotflmaopmpqxyz no the thing you see hanging - the gravity keeps it moving so when it's moving everything else moves. automatically non stop untill you hold the hanging thing (sorry i don't know name) still. no battery/electricty required.
is it one of thos pendulem clocks ?

That's cool :P Don't want to make a weight so just make the clock a weight :D

it's a green technology, the exploitation of gravity.

@KEvronista Doesnt it have to have some sort of force pushing it? otherwise it would be perpetual motion which is irrational.

That's amazing! how do you keep the pendulum going? does it require a battery or something?

as the weight moves it turns gear.
this makes it move when u give it a push..

Das ist die bisher best gemachte Lego Uhr (Aus meiner sicht) Und sie funktioniert mit hilfe der Gravitation :)

it actually doesn't look half bad.
actually looks like a real clock.

not bad.
i especially love how you used the clock itself as a counter weight. ingenious
legoclockfreak710 2 years ago
brilliant! took me a few to grasp that the clock is its own drive weight. can't wait to build one of my own.
