  • What is the size (maxl diameter) of the crowns? How many teeth has each crown?

    Brilliant design, congratulations.

    

  • @Altavilla2003

    Thanks.Tip to tip the wheels on that one were 100mm, with 10 teeth per wheel. The crown was ~20mm on the flat at the back.

  • @pcstru Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I am working on a "traditional" verge foliot and I can see that your design is far better than those traditional escapements.

    Hope you can post a video of the clock you made with this (new) kind of escapement".

    Last question, please: 20 mm you mentioned is the gap between crowns? My english is not good, that is why I do not understad what you mean with "flat at the back".

    Thanks again.

  • @Altavilla2003 - PM me and I'll send you a link to a picture.

  • I love this design.  Have you made a clock with it?

  • Yes - I've tried to post a link to a picture but that's not working.

    Your clocks are amazing BTW!

see all

  • wery nice job look at my clocks

  • clever you used two crown gears working in tandum, very nice, very smooth

  • God thanks, there are not only idiots here on youtube. This is very creative. I'm still fighting with myself to build a (sorry, I only know the German expression for this) Roellchenhemmung or a foliot escapement.

  • wow! very simple design!

  • my eyes sting from its beauty

  • Never seen a verge escapement in this form before.

    Yet it's so easy! Great job.
