The striking mechanism is done, the bell rings twice an hour now. Just need some finials and a few finishing touches and then to decide what to do next!
Love the clock. Could you give me more details on the final tooth per wheel count? I would like to construct something similar, but I'm finding it hard to locate technical details on such clocks. Thanks
my gear ratios didnt turn out the best, I recommend using something out of the Almanus manuscript. I ended up with : 72:8:52:8 11 teeth on the crown gear 96 teeth on face with a 4 tooth pinion
Great work! you can adjust your clock to normal time by increasing the inertia of the balance by a factor 4. For this increase the weight of the bala nce runners by about 4. Read https://pawn.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~roess/NichtSoWichtiges.htm for more theory and experimental evidence
I love the clock, hopefully I will soon be fiddling to get a foliot verge hook and spike clock going and this has inspired me.
