A functional K'nex clock

[Scerab]

you need some shots of the mechanisms in the back. i don't really get how it works.

Good use of the gears!

[txpoker12]

it spins to fast

thats awesome but kinda long to stare at a clock lol

[radudman]

wel if the fats one is the second hand (witch i think it is obviously) then it is TOO SLOW not to fast one revolution is about

[radudman]

1 3/4 of a second. but still cool. for som reason it stoped typing in the middle of my comment , ignore it.

[djndude]

yup too fast

[skatemilwaukee]

i think the clock is a little fast lol:P

[chuckie0101]

now if it kept real time that would be cool but even tho it dont it still rocks

Ok so a couple of q's:

did you make an escapement? or just used the motor?

how did you get the correct gear ratios? Did knex have the right toothed gears?

[crestind]

that's pretty sweet!

[MTLkayaker]

YO THATS NUTS

Good memories. I once built a k'nex clock along the same principles that had gear reduction and the amazing part was it was only 4 seconds too fast, and that was as close as I could get.

[Eco8rofl]

i stopped the time and every (fast ) turn is +- 1,50 sconds but very nice :)

[25Mario52]

i Think everytime it does the full 360 turn that counts as a second

[dtechdude]

Slow it down about 45.5 times and it mabye would work. How did u get the gears right? 60-1 and then 60-1.

I made a mechanical grandfather clock that told time and the weight gave it about 4 hours of run time. I might make it again and post a video some time

[Skydrftr101]

Wow I made something like that, only its made to measure seconds

[rojm]

its not functional its like way too fast

[conor1148]

even if it is too fast its still pretty cool

[Mickey466]

It's not too fast, the one that has an orange connector is the milliseconds, The one with the blue rod is secons, and the white connector is minutes

[conor1148]

so it will actually show the correct time and keep the correct time?

[Mickey466]

Probably if the battery doesn't die and you turn it on just as it's the same time

[rojm]

i guess soo

[smidge146]

wow how u do that post instructions

[illenex]

Alright...so this clock works and I am right next to the inventor. It looks pretty cool, but it's time to close the clock chapter and begin something fun---cars and motorcyles.

Time flys when your having fun:)
