@vmgrd34 This is why it's called a "Hobby", something you, with your obviously packed schedule, couldn't understand. People build things like this because they enjoy it, whether a plebeian on YouTube (such as yourself) likes it or not.

@bobandmike3 u got that from asdf movies right

[ZamPOWzle67]

@ZamPOWzle67 What the crap......i actually have a top comment

[bobandmike3]

@ZamPOWzle67 haha, i cant read

[vmgrd34]

Thanks for the well thought out response from you. But this does not change the fact that the pendulum does not "power the clock" or that anyone capable of making such a toy should really devote their energy on something rather more worthwile.

@vmgrd34 shut the f**k up

[TheDigitalStone]

I love it. It's indeed a great conversation starter. And i like the idea on the end with the LED to make long-exposure shots with.

[vmgrd34]

What a wate of time and effort. Get a life folks!

[vmgrd34]

Now, where did I leave my dictionnary!

[vmgrd34]

The pendulum does no "power it". It regulates it! The wieghts pwoer it.
