How accurate is it?

[BenVanDeWaal]

It is not known for its accuracy and can in no way compete with ordinary pendulum clocks. My clock's accuracy is about 15 minutes per 12 hours,but i did not measure or adjust it seriously.

Where did you purchase this clock?

[BenVanDeWaal]

See info with IFPC 1/2

i build one out of knex toys, not a clock but a flying pendulum. is the key to geting it to go around the same pole twice the pole coming out of the top?

[BenVanDeWaal]

Yes,it is. Without these toppoles you can not have this double rotation, obviously (see, e.g., jimrubar: escapement, where no toppoles are involved). However, I do not yet fully understand how it works. The long poles are vertical, but the short ones are inclined some 15 deg., the right one towards the observer, the left one backwards. The attachment to the topbar is some 2 mm behind that of the long poles to the bottom bar, for both pins. I do not know (yet) whether this is crucial. Ben

@BenVanDeWaal Just improve the device and you have an accurate clock and it will be known for it's accuracy. No need to compete. MOTTO: Don't give up. Don't throw away an idea. Just improve them.

The bent part of the pole is cruicial. If you look closely as it spins, you will see how it hock, spins one direction, then unspins off that pole and the hocks in the opposite direction and then unspins and finnaly moves to other side. This is very crucial in the timing of the clock. If they were not bent, then they would not hock properly. Hope this helps.

lol i could sit there all day just watching it. seeing if it ever messed up or something =]
