Lego Clock Escapement W17

Lego Clock Escapement W17. As W1 and W12.3, but now with a 14-t scapewheel. The wheel is a Technic Circular Saw Blade 9X9 with Pinhole, No.61403 (Bricklink.com). Since this wheel has a pinhole, a technic bush No.3713 must be glued to it, to make it tightly fit an axle; Also, part No.6587 is a good alternative.

De slinger is niet gecalibreerd. Maar dat kan vrij eenvoudig door een klein gewichtje op en neer te schuiven langs de slinger.

The y bar locks the scapewheel. Unlocking results when the pendulum lifts it. Calibration is effectuated by changing the length of the pendulum.

does it goes for ever?

[BenVanDeWaal]

@pivotman43 It stops when the weight reaches the ground. Then it has to be rewound, like any mechanical clock.

Me at all your lego escapements:

:O w00t

thx for the inspiration. Now I'm gonna build a machine that pushes F5 every 3 seconds to get more views to my videos, haha.

hij zit zo te horen net niet helemaal in het goeie ritme, net iets te langzaamvolgens mij(een paar honderdste van een seconde)

[chessie2003]

Is the yellow bar used for calibration?

@Slaangor who knows what we will invent in the far future ;)

[Slaangor]

@pivotman43 There is absolutely no possibility that something goes on forever, because then it would be a perpetuum mobile.

Thank you so much for making these! I've been trying to figure out how one might make escapement, and you hit it right on the head!
