I think I know how to make this but it won't work. When I put 1 flat lego piece under the lego where the big gears are, it is to low, and when I put 2 flat pieces under it, it is to high!

The hallmark of genius is the development of a simple solution to a complex problem. Congratulations!

Wow, thx for this mechanism
-
I successfully re-created this. Now I understand how a GE basically works. Thanks for the inspiration! :-)

mainspring - ratchet - escapement = pendulumn clock ! i can see why Doc ( back to the future) have so many clocks in his lab

I had a "crazy" idea to make an escapement but I couldn't get anything working. You have more legos than me, or are crazier, or both. In any case your ideas are awesome!
I was attempting to drive mine with a little assembly included with a "pull-back" car lego set. I don't know what that mechanism is called but it's rather like winding a clock spring I thought.

I must discourage you to use a "pull-back" thing to drive your clock. I do not know exactly what it is but it may contain a rubber band that is stretched or wound in order to store energy that can be released to the clock (the same with a spiral spring). Because the released energy per unit of time diminishes as the process proceeds your clock will be unreliable. Use a falling weight to avoid these problems; this gives a constant torque on the escape wheel or the first gear in the train.

How is the Mechanical Advantage set up in your pully? Is it same as a standard pulley with strings and gears? I was wondering if you could show me a picture of the pulley system and possibly a back view of the machine as I am trying to build soemthing similar.

It is very simple, with no (other than the visible) gears at all.
On the axis of the left hand wheel is a pulley with a thread wound around it that is guided over a second pulley on the far left (not visible, but you can see the thread). The end of the thread carries the weight.
