A completely mechanical clock mechanism that I designed a while ago.

A ratchet and spring system provide power for the system, and a mechanical escapement keeps time.

Use the right arrow key to wind the spring, and the left arrow key to unwind the spring. Drag the escapement mechanism to start the oscillation.

It's extremely accurate on my computer with my settings; I can't guarantee that it will be perfectly accurate for you.

Marvelous! :tup:
Doesn't seem to work for me. Dragging the escapement mechanism doesn't seem to start any oscillation. Any ideas?
Oh all right, I see your problem. Your scripts are bad, you're not using variables right

You have to use scene.my variables; instead of using, say, StrSpring, you have to use scene.my.StrSpring = Scene.my.StrSpring + 50. But before that you have to declare the variable in the console (F10 or tilde drop the console) and for that you have to give it an initial value. so for example, to declare Scene.my.StrSpring, you have to drop the console, and write

Scene.my.StrSpring = 50000 and then hit return.

On the springs you have to put it like

{scene.my.StrSpring}

Actually nothing is case sensitive here but it's always better to keep things clear, just my thoughts

This clock is very good but it's not working for anyone at the time. it's a simple fix
what escapment mechenism?
I cant get this clock to work no matter what I spin the gear shown in the vid but it slows down then stop it doesn't keep its speed its spinning
The Linkage is right, I didn't write the variables properly when I originally made this scene. I haven't bothered to update it so that it will work when loaded through saves.

You can fix the issue simply by doing the following:

Select the 8 springs that are in the escapement mechanism and set the spring constant to 56450, and the damping to -0.0110029 ( make sure it's negative).

Make sure the density of the ring part of the escapement is set to 50kg/m2.

Then it should work as expected.
