Yeah make it wind back slower with a thinner gear or something so it accelerates slower that way looks like its got more longevity =D

LOVE IT! This may have interesting application for energy collection when braking bicycle (bringing bicycle to a stop or slowing bicycle).

This gives me an idea, I'd like to see someone make a rubber band powered clockworks.

Was expecting a bit more on the return, maybe gear it up by a factor of 10 or so?
