paper escapement
The escapement wheel is 50mm in diameter and the balance wheel is 90mm in diameter. It will work with less weight but it works more consistently with a 45 acp.

Do you have the drawing of this pieces and could share with us ?
I don't. I didn't draw out a lot plans for it. I drew out a rough estimate of where I wanted things to be and then remade the parts until they worked.
Great video!! I've just started work on my latest project. A Thwaites-Reed rolling ball clock. This has a platform escapement and this video is great to show how it functions.
Using a pistol bullet for Clock making is very much American.
Whta makes the tick-tack sound so sonorous? Some metal pars hitting?
The only metal parts are the bushings and pins. The videos was filmed in a corner so that echoes the sound. I think it also has to do with the size of the escapement.
This definitely in America 💀 why you using a bullet?
It was the right weight to get the escapement to function. if there's too little weight, the balance wheel doesn't have a big enough amplitude for the escapement to function reliably. If there's too much weight then there's too much friction between the pallet forks and escapement wheel and that also causes it to not function reliably.
@@miniaturemachinist6098 Oh alright.
There is a book which describes how to make a paper pendulum clock, and if I remember right the materials are part of the book.
I have that book, unused and am willing to sell it if anyone is interested.
What is the book's title?

@@douro20 thanks a lot
really beautiful..
Great
If you are interested in the mathematical and physical details of the clockwork mechanism I made a video about it th-cam.com/video/D1_Jqy4cWgY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Math%2CPhysics%2CEngineering
Lovely. Is there a chance to get plans for this?
how is the hairspring made?
I bent some memory wire into the right shape and tweaked it a little until it worked.
Cardboard?
It's layered copy paper and Elmers glue. Tacome1942 has some videos explaining how he makes paper stuff if you want more information on it.
@@miniaturemachinist6098 Thanks..
So satisfying to watch
Thanks
bullet
That’s exactly how parking meters work
.?
The pre computer wind up ones
So thats how old clocks work. Interesting!
@@Lajos_Brekovszky I'm lost... This is gravity powered. what is a deadbeat escapement?
How long can it go?
It'll run for a little over 2 minutes.
@@miniaturemachinist6098 nice, that's actually more than I expected
se vis pacem.... parabellum.
It works with .45ACP?
The weight of the ammunition rotates the escapement wheel.
@@miniaturemachinist6098 oh no kidding... I figured that was some type of weight or something and that it coincidentally had the same name as a handgun round 😅
Wonderful
Very nice, thank you for sharing
Can give me full figure pic
That's very cool, just shows you don't need much to have fun !! :)
