How do you go about starting up a new design for an escapement with lego? You just fiddle with the lego parts or you design it on paper? I understand the underlying principle but i am amazed at how you managed to find just the right lego parts to fit your the contraption. Nice work. I looked at them all and they are very nice.

Usually I start with a particular escapement that has been invented a long time ago (17-19th century) and is used in many clocks and watches (before the quartz revolution), and then I try to imitate it with Lego. W4 is my own 'invention', and W13 is merely built on the same principle. Of course it is a matter of trial and error, but the basis is a thorough understanding of why and how things work, or don't work.

Thanks. I subscribed for your channel. Looking forward to see your next creation.

Btw, do you exhibit these? It would be a fun show.

[BenVanDeWaal]

I exhibited only once, some 20 years ago. I do not know of any shows where I can exhibit.

[PATSICK]

Iunderstand just fine. Very good.

[jake5680]

How this work?

[BenVanDeWaal]

Same as W10, but now the wheels are rotating in the same direction, so they have to hit the left and right pallets from the same side. W10 works according to the Graham dead beat escapement. To understand it you have only to look carefully to the video; nothing is hidden. Remember that the wheels are powered by a weight on a rope that is wound around a pulley on the axis of the left wheel (W10), or on the axis of the common drive (W13) Don't hesitate to ask further if you still do not onderstand
