what are you using to power the escpament?

[BenVanDeWaal]

@35465456446464454 A weight, suspended from a cord that runs over a pulley (far left, not visible). The cord is seen to run from a pulley on the first gearwheel to the left in the video. I do not remember the weight; you have to try it out.

[BenVanDeWaal]

@kissa122 I have read a few books on clocks and watches.

@BenVanDeWaal Can you please tell me where I can get that sort of books in holland?

Most of what we see in these videos are not clocks, just escapements, pendula, and weights. Of course, those are the difficult bits. The rest is just gearing and aesthetics.

A "few" book? Seem's more like millions from my view! Hahaha...

Either he takes apart those clocks after every video or he has a room of these clocks (Which would be really cool to see)
