John, how does the swinging wt regulator work (powered, controlled)? I see you have it configured to swing to next point, just as weight finishes unwinding its current position. (i understand the clock module on CD).
Actually, the movement is just for show. The clock works (its a CD disc with a clock module attacked to the back)but isn't connected to the swinging weight regualtor on top - hehe
No, no, no. It still needs a power source, the swinging weight merely transfers the energy from that source into a steady and regular motion in order to keep time.
out of all the inventions i've seen in my life, i think this is my favourite one... its just so simple yet so complex and it really friggin cool. never in a million years would i thought of that. you are a genius
so let me get this stright u said the clock movent cost 3 dollars is it a quartz and whats moving the swing is the swing hooked up to the clock

John, does it keep time? It's looking very cool! And I like the sound it makes when the weight hits the frame...

He, he... you got me there! I actually thought is was driven by the weight. Well, you learn something every day.

take a wild guess.

the upper thing seems to move every 3 sek.
I think there is no connection of clock and "ticker".
So why the clock?
You may mount the thing on your "only yours pet feeder" to distract enemy birds.

The clock is a $3 movement mounted on a CD disc. The swinging weight regulator? As a conversation piece...priceless.

Very cool! You are a Renaissance man and my favorite of your interests is the music, but my inventor Grand-dad would have loved your gadgets. Thanks
