thanks for all the comments! to answer you, wessellonus, the pendulum is kept swinging in the same way that a real grandfather clock's pendulum is kept swinging. there is a weight (in this case, a few rolls of pennies) attached to a string which is wound many times around the "escapement" axle (the rotating thing that looks like the spokes of a wheel - this is where the clock's face would eventually be). that keeps the escapement spinning, but it is stopped by the anchor every tick.

I tried to make one myself BUT what does keep the pendule swinging? mine always stops after a while

I tried to make one of those.... it fell and broke aall over the floor..

even if it was not accutate and had a duration of spining (maybe 2 min per rotation like) and constantly went at that speed, it would still be useful to tell how long something takes.
