I had an idea: Instead of it being wind up, why not gravity powered? Like you have the same basic mechanism for gearing it up, but you have something like a capstan winch drum with string wrapped around it and a weight on one end. Maybe a bottle of water so you can vary the amount of weight by adding or removing water.

[@AtimatikArmy]

That's really great performance for a spring powered wind-up mechanism! Bravo

[@DrGreenfun]

I wonder how a windup clock would fare. Or maybe a ceiling fan model

[@joshbeutien]

Only suggestion now is....use gravity . Lift a bag of dirt and let it fall to pull the "winding side" , also could power an l.e.d..

[@joshbeutien]

You can obviously still use the tape measure and the spring.

[@bazil538]

give a spring from a line trimmer a shot, also i have a feeling with the right gearing you might be able to get 30 mins on a wind

[@JMEMantzel]

Yeah. I think 30 minutes is reasonable. ....I just might need smoother gears.
....and/or better bearings than skate ones....
I do have an idea for a planetary gear drive that might reduce friction, though...

[@ooaqici82qb4ip]

Can you make a weighted plum bob on a chain type

[@Techamongous]

Excellent! I envision a "wind saver" wind powered winder. Wound by the wind all day. play it back any time! =) Wind on demand. Haha! =)

[@-Viceroy-]

You'll need a looong ass tape measure for that

[@tacticalleather766]

You need to make a fan that is powered by gravity, put rocks or bucket of water under it

[@storetor]

J, you the Man
I told you before. I told ya!

[@MrLandphill]

great video thanks for sharing

[@dankeith6756]

I'm wondering how long it took to wind it up?

[@dontbe]

the winding knob spun more than 200 times on the unwind.. do you have some gear reduction during winding?

[@JMEMantzel]

Mechanical magic. :-)

[@ebikescrapper3925]

Put a belt pulley on it then an outside tan can run an inside fan, a fan for a fan.

[@keithdesign6231]

guitar tuners have a powered drill attachment that will wind it up for you in a few seconds

[@jjdubuyou1976]

With all the sunshine and solar he has, I'm still not certain why he doesn't have at least a 12v electrical system to run fans and lights. This seems unnecessary.....

[@morganbowen1802]

Don’t try and give logic to him. He does shit his own way. Regardless of necessity

[@EAB1771]

Your comment seems unnecessary to be honest.

[@morganbowen1802]

@@EAB1771 if you know Jaimie. My comment is tame.
He hates being told what to do/how to do it. Or even recommend a different way
I was being sarcastic with my response

[@sinsilius]

For starters - its cordless. Does not take up socket space, cord does not tangle around. I want one too now

[@EAB1771]

@@morganbowen1802 I was replying to the guy who made the comment above yours actually. Not sure why his name didn’t come up. Anyway, I agree with you.

The only wine up fan I've ever heard of.. Was for a army tank.. Primarily used to exhaust the smoke Discharge after firing Is the large gun. It looks like you're inventing an amish toy..

[@WaterFaucet24]

Almost ten minutes

[@knutselkoning]

Nice invention again Mr Jamie! You remind me of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyro_Gearloose. But you have multiple Little Helper's ;)
