Thread: Woodwards gearless clock
11/11/2009 17:52:37
Thanks for your reply .Yes i have tried increaseing the weight but this causes another problem as it means that the gathering pawl which is attached to the pendulem has to raise the extra  weight before the gathering detent  is released which then impulses the pendulm.Hope this makes sence but every adjustment made with this clock will cause something else to go out of adjustment.It is any easy clock to make but i feel that at its best would be tempromental and at its worst impossible

I have just finished the gearless clock as discribed by J wilding and am having difficulty in getting it to run for more than a few minuets .Has anyone built one and how well does it run and what problems have they encountered  with keeping it running
