Lego Pendulum Clock Auto-Winding Mech

This is my second improved version of my lego pendulum clock. Now with a working auto-winding mech so that you don´t have to wind it up manually, stronger and better quality wire for the weight, small adjustments to the escapement and a more clean design to it as well.

very clever!
it's no simple task, getting a mechanical system to wind the weight. i've tried a couple of designs, to mixed results. both involve mechanical methods to trigger a battery box. i found that lego's battery boxes don't lend themselves to this application very well. i think the best solution would be to use an nxt/ev3 brick, a touch sensor and a servo. it's not as elegant as a mechanical method, but it's sure-fire and won't fuss with the impulse transfer. so damned expensive, though!

Du är fenomenal, mycket smart idé.
Stämmer tiden i så fall är det helt
Fantastiskt! :-P

Genius.

[@jandudkowski7598]

wow that amasing

[@legoroxxstudios]

Tutorial pls!!!!!! I wanted to build a clock, I had tried so many times but it won't work! Pls help me!

[@themechbuilder6171]

you can show the scapement?

[@stopmotionj2455]

Underbar! Hur väl håller den tiden?

[@Spinninglego]

Tackar! Har inte haft igång den på ett tag men sist den var igång var felmarginalen inte särskilt stor på ett dygn :)

[@stopmotionj2455]

Vad härligt!

[@RoyhaneHangga]

Where is the escapement

[@matthewmotorsport_4571]

In the clock…

@@matthewmotorsport_4571 i know, but i mean, how it looks like

Winding by 1 PF XL motor

NOW PUT CHIMES ON IT

[@legopirate3000]

How many kilos is that weight?

[@Spinninglego]

2kg :)

[@legopirate3000]

Spinninlego But how does the xl motor take all that weight?

[@Spinninglego]

legopirate3000
It´s because of how the gears are set up, with a 8 toothed gear output from the motor then to 2: 24 toothed gears and at last to the 40 toothed gear that is connected to the tire piece holding the wire. So because of the gear ratios varies to higher amount of teeth, the winding becomes slower although the motor don´t have to work as hard as if it would be connected directly to the tire piece holding the wire :)

[@legopirate3000]

Spinninlego Cool, but have any pieces broked?

[@Spinninglego]

nope :)
