Looks nice, Im a clock repairman and whenever bells are mounted they are fitted with felt washers on the top and bottom where they mount. This prevents the dampening of the sound
I hope he sees one of these comments, and goes back and adds the felt, even if we never find out. It would be so easy, and would make the bell so much more satisfying.
Just as a little fun fact, bi-metallic mechanisms are used basically everywhere around us. Most of the time not in the form a strip but in stamped discs that can be made to snap at a temperature with tolerances of less than one degree. Every item in your house that has a heater inside will most likely have a bi metal snap disc, as they are called, in them as safety mechanisms or every simple kettle that switches off when the water is cooking will have between 1-4 of these discs in them. It's actually quite fascinating how they work and how they are manufactured and actually how few companies there are in relation to the billions of discs used all over the world
Not only are they all around us to make tempurature based controls, but they are also found all over to make objects that do not change size in a single dimention. Its Really important in making pendulum clocks and thats the most likely place I can imagine a person would run into it. And thats why your grandfather clock has that weird pendulum made up of bars going up and down as the outside set expands pushing down, the middle set expands a bit more pushing up just enough to make up for the center bars expansion. Ok I gotta confess, making a new pendulum bar for an anitique grandfather clock was just my favorite project and I get too excited to share.
One of my favorite uses for bimetallic strips is car turn indicators. They use a bimetal strip wrapped in a heating wire to open and close the circuit, which makes the light blink. The famous clicking sound you hear in the car is the sound of this mechanism.
Can't believe nobody name dropped @TechnologyConnections with this comment, nearly every other video they put out is focused on a bimetallic strip powered device.
I can't express how much I love this. The amount of energy, time, materials and money spent on this, solely because you couldn't be bothered to use the timer function on your phone, is so out of proportion to the real-world benefit that it _has_ to be a pure labour of love. And I love that.
@@Pisolithus or the temperature in the surrounding air. It will cool much faster on a cold winter's day, he'd have to calculate the rate of cooling for every possible temperature. The amount of time the tea is steeped before letting it cool would also effect the cooling time. But with this, it will always alert him at exactly his preferred temperature.
All that build up, and we only saw one demonstration of the finished product, and even then, it wasn’t a live-firing situation, but a test run with just water! I need to see this a dozen times with real tea!

Amazing. I had just returned to my computer after filming, my coffee was cold and this video was in my recommended videos. Maybe google does know everything lol. What an incredible gadget, thanks for showing its construction.
It's like a Rube Goldberg machine. An over the top elaborately constructed and complex machine designed to accomplish a mundane task. I absolutely love it! I enjoy fabricating myself and can understand the delight one feels when designing and constructing such a device. One time I saw a group of engineering students who, just for grins and giggles, constructed a machine with over 20 different operations that took 50 seconds to complete. The machine was constructed to place a stamp on an envelope. Marvelous!
If you isolated the bell from the pillar, maybe a few pieces of soft leather, it would make a far more pleasing ring. That is a beautiful machine, with the most perfect English need for existing. Thank you for sharing your time.
Love it I’m a big rube Goldberg fan so this one ticks some boxes for me. Next time you do a bellish shape like that machine in inside first then fill it with hard meltable wax the outside won’t chatter as much you just have to be careful not too get it hot when turning.
The whole concept of this is superb. There’s a narrow window within which tea (or coffee) is optimal, just nestling between scorching hot and too cold. To hit that perfectly is ideal, and when it’s with such a beautiful item, that’s just perfect!
If you turn the inside of the bell (and a small part of the outside) first and then clamp it internally to do the outside there's no problem with the bell ringing. Did this when I made an about 300 mm "ships bell" in stainless as a wedding gift to friends some years ago. Do be gentle with the pressure internally though, the bell deforms easily but the setup is very stable as long as turning is made towards the chuck.. Sweet little project!
The beautiful craftsmanship, design, and camerawork for something that is frankly a ridiculously over-engineered solution well earned my subscription. More please.
The amazing part to me is he solved so many steps to come up with something simple. How to hold it on the cup, how to move it at the right temp, how to keep the ball from flying out so on and so on. Whats it for? To tell when the tea is the right temp. Great Video loved it.
I really like your style of video production. The smooth, calming, and well balanced voicing with the relaxing background music works perfectly witb the upclose camera shots. Wonderful job. I cant believe I'm only just discovering your channel!
It is cool that temperature sensing can be done mechanically. I think this entire mechanism could be miniaturized other than the bell. Wind a miniaturized bimetallic strip like a clock spring, solder a heat pipe going to the mug to the inside of both the bimetallic strip coil and its thermally insulated brass case, and use rotation of the outer part of the spring to lift a detent on a sprung striker that will hit a stop and spring forward to hit the bell once. Then it has no orientation needs and can be made similar form factor, albeit larger, to a meat thermometer with a bell and striker attached.
Realy nice contraption. I first assumed it should be a tripod or similar but the cup edge holder worked out well. I do think you could use a soft spacer on the bell to make it less rigid which will increase the amplitude of the ringing
Wow , only a Brit would make this but also with great/quirky design and quality sir you have a new admirer and a proud Brit to see the talent that still exists in our country, brave.
An alternative bell ringing mechanism: a cam with a strong spring in a bistable arrangement. The cam rotates *JUST* past the point where it locks so that it's on a hair trigger. A set screw can adjust this. The bimetallic strip then only has a tiny trigger force to overcome before the spring starts to accelerate the cam and a hammer on its other side strikes the bell. No loose parts to lose, it works at any angle, and the process of priming it is simply rotating a knurled knob.
Towards the end of the machining I was thinking of all the ways I could reduce the part count and manufacturing complexity. Felt foolish when I saw how gorgeous and visually satisfying the final assembly is. Fantastic art that could only come from an improvised design, a skill I have yet to learn.
I love when overengeneering does not imply using AI to replace an IF statement. This was a fascinating watch. Definitely worth suscribing for more. Thank you !
Neat project! Given the ostensible purpose of submersion in a somewhat acidic liquid which is to be ingested, I do hope that the brass used is lead free, though.
You really shouldn’t hard mount the bell but leave it free swinging on something like a spring where it can resonate and ring out like a bell should. Screwing it down tight dampens the vibrations and defeats the purpose of a bell in the first place. Other than that, nice work.
I love these kinds of "over engineered" items that are made for a persons very specific and subjective need..! Yay!!! 😄 More stuff like this, please... 👍
I'm absolutely intrigued watching metal machining, but especially fine machine work like this. Awesome. In the end, first, it's beautiful. Second, it has the design of a Rube Goldberg machine. Love it.
Wonderfully fancy for a small task, love it, the day i i'll be good enough to take this out of myworkshop i'll be super happy ! Thanks for inspiration and sharing !!
Beautiful crafted. A more robust method could be to use a clock spiral spring to pre load an arm that is released onto a bell. A trigger from a deflecting bi metallic arm. That was the cup does not have to be perfectly flat and the sound greater with more potential energy available.
That's crazy spending so much time making this device, I could have made an electronic version using a small microcontroller in less time. but I loved watching you make it and it looks great...
Well that is totally bonkers but you earned my subscription with a great quality and peaceful video ! I love it when I find a new channel that gets it right with no flashy gimmicks or attention grabbing nonsense !
In terms of brass or other copper alloys being used with food, my dad used to used copper cookware back in the day in Iran (copper cookware was/is used worldwide, just his personal experience) , but it was always coated on the inside with a thin layer of tin. This was because uncoated copper would leech into food and its salts were known to be poisonous. Tin is less reactive and less toxic (possibly nontoxic), and the intermetallic bond between tin and copper is pretty strong. Maybe tinning could be an option for food contact?
I worry about it in musical instrument mouthpieces. I used to try to leach it out using hydrogen peroxide and vinegar, but best if you can avoid it in the first place.
You could add another ramp on top of the current one (facing the other direction), so that you can place the ball there even if cold, then when hot it will be "loaded", and when colder again, will ring the bell.
What a great little invention! The only part that I thought was a bit lacking was the ring of the bell. I suspect it might ring a bit clearer if it was sat balancing on a pin instead of screwed on tightly.
You could have the strip release a watch spring and have the arm of an attached escapement hit a bell. It'll ring instead of dinging but it might be nicer than a loose ball
An incredibly impressive and original project! Out of interest, are the small lathe tools with an aggressive top rake the way to go with brass? Or just what you had on hand?
Thanks! I often experiment with tooling, so what you see me using is not necessarily the best approach. For brass, zero rake is the way to go, but I don't usually bother swapping tools on the watchmaker’s lathe when switching materials. I was trying the aggressive rake for general use - I didn’t notice any benefit in steel (or brass) to be honest.
I watched this video when it first came out, and just watched it all again. This toy is just SO over-engineered that it is just about perfect. I would have done the job with an Arduino and a temperature sensor, but this way is so much better
Nice, a channel with good music and narration. A soothing Bob Ross quality, but making happy little mechanisms and not trees. Also, the entire narrative of an intricate solution to an age-old problem of tea's gone cold.
this was how its usually done during the industrial age, however nowadays software pundits will be up in arms over all-mechanical temperature alarm... great video production, soothing music, clear narration and process explanation. highly recommended
A very unique way to ring bells is how we do here in the estate of Minas Gerais in Brazil. The bell is rung by an internal clapper have a huge conter weight. It's initially held upside down and then pulled so it turns. Each turn it rings twice. After that it can either be held upside down before being "turn" again or be pulled for a faster rithm ringing. I'd like to leave a link but TH-cam doesn't like it .-.
I always wished I was British. There's just something about you guys' energy. Seems like you guys just have it figured out. Living and being content. Idk I can't really explain it haha
Great video as always. I feel like the ramp trigger is going to be very sensitive to subtle tilt variations on the edge of the mug, variations in table surface level, etc.. and ideally some trigger would be best to ensure consistent temperatures.
I wonder if you could get away with placing a mechanism under the cup or on top of it, i.e. not in contact with the beverage. Because even if you used food safe material, the construction isn't really as you can't clean between the two riveted plates. It's not a big risk given the relatively high temperature at which you use this tool but still, that would be good practice to treat this issue. You could probably electroplate it. I *think* you can electroplate gold onto stainless steel.

May I have a request for some particular machine called "Langmuir's method".
For reference:10.1038/1391066b0
It appears to be a 7 day trial.
😮@@Vyv-z9n
I don't know if I'm more impressed by your ability to build/engineer or the fact that you can write straight without lined paper.
Please make a flying tourbillon 🙏🙏🙏🥰🇨🇦🏴⚓
Fantastic is all that needs to said
Great gadget to be paired with the automatic tea making machine I must say
Think @colinfurze might need one of these because no doubt he’s forgotten a lot of tea during tunnelling:D
Fürze means farts in German
The Brits are summoning each other 😂
This is an exemplification of essential Englishness.
You can mount the bell using a sort of cushion so it will have a prolongated song and not just *ding*
Nice pfp
This was going to be my exact suggestion. The ding seems to small.
I was thinking a bell on a string.
A felt washer would help but point contact would be better
like how cymbals are mounted
Looks nice, Im a clock repairman and whenever bells are mounted they are fitted with felt washers on the top and bottom where they mount. This prevents the dampening of the sound
Same thing with drum cymbals!
I hope he sees one of these comments, and goes back and adds the felt, even if we never find out. It would be so easy, and would make the bell so much more satisfying.
Also, don't screw it too tightly. Leave it some room to vibrate.
If Wallace and Gromit were into machining, this would be their first project!. Lovely project, masterfull cinematography, good narration👌
Closely followed by a cheese portioning and dispensing mechanism!

As a side benefit, the heat-sink properties of the mechanism will help bring your tea to perfect temperature faster!
And he better not dillydally after the bell rings!
This is such a lovely piece of engineering and machining. It also demonstrates a physical phenomenon in a memorable and playful way.

I almost expected Uri Tuchman to come up with something like this. A, sort of, pointless invention that still serves a unique purpose.

Delightful. I never considered lead content in brass before, I assumed the copper component was the concern. Thank you
I worry about it in musical instrument mouthpieces. I used to try to leach it out using hydrogen peroxide and vinegar, but best if you can avoid it in the first place.
Absolutely beautiful work as always. Thank you for the great insight and inspiration.
You could add another ramp on top of the current one (facing the other direction), so that you can place the ball there even if cold, then when hot it will be "loaded", and when colder again, will ring the bell.
A combination of Uri Tuchman and Clickspring, awesome
You could run a competition for the simplest mechanical or eletronic device that could do the same (maybe even the cheaper)
I love it. I adhere to the comments regarding improvements to the sound, and I'm curious to see what will you make to put it after it's used 🍵
What a great little invention!
The only part that I thought was a bit lacking was the ring of the bell. I suspect it might ring a bit clearer if it was sat balancing on a pin instead of screwed on tightly.

to reduce the parts count invert the bell and catch the ball in the bell.

This is some real Wallace and Gromit style domestic innovation. I love it. More please!
When I do knurling, I set the feed to ½ of the pitch of the wheels. That makes the spiral pattern in the knurl disappear.
Fantastic contraption 👍. Love your videos, thank you 🙂
I wonder if you could get away with placing a mechanism under the cup or on top of it, i.e. not in contact with the beverage. Because even if you used food safe material, the construction isn't really as you can't clean between the two riveted plates.
It's not a big risk given the relatively high temperature at which you use this tool but still, that would be good practice to treat this issue.
