Electromagnetic Pendulum Clock

I agree, good luck.

quel tratto è libero, sembra che gli ingranaggi in un certo punto si sbilanciano e provocano un inerzia in avanti che fa perdere il passo, forse potrebbe darmi un aiuto Steve che ha progettato L'orologio. Grazie mille !!

si, secondo me c'è qualcosa che non va , probabilmente nel progetto oppure no, non ho esperienza per queste cose, ma mi sembra di avere capito che non è colpa dei braccetti stabilizzatori ma di un'altra cosa, il braccetto serve per portare avanti lingranaggio ad ogni Tic, ma per il mio problema che in un certo punto lingranaggio prende velocità e fa saltare il passo deve essere un'altra cosa che non capisco, potrei provare a spessorare di più gli ingranaggi in modo che siano meno ballerini non saprei …..

I noticed on every complete turn of the back gear that the pawls control ing the gear seems to slow down For a few ticks. Probably due to friction or an imbalance somewhere. I haven’t even tried adjusting the time yet. I want to give the clock a few weeks to settle in. I’ll probably take the clock apart in several more weeks to clean the bearings, and make sure nothing is binding anywhere. It just take time to get this thing running good. Remember, it Steve’s latest design, and who knows, he may end up tweaking it again. Enjoy the experience

I just wanted to know if that dragging you see in the video is about adjusting the arms or if it's another problem ... ..

ok, the strange thing is that for 70% of the turn that the gears make, the pawls keep pace, then the gears arrive in a certain position that they lose pace, as if at that point they are not balanced well and descend quickly ... ..., if you tell me that my problem and the defect it causes me in the video I sent you is to choose the exact configuration of the pawls, then I will try them all

You have to learn yourself what each adjustment of the arms do before you can come up with the best combination of pawl sizes and positions. So, try all combinations to learn how they work. It’s a tedious process.

I try, but in my opinion it seems that there is some gear as ovalized, when it arrives at a certain point it jumps 5/6 teeth all at once ……., I don't understand why… ..

Just start with each of the pawl, static and active. Try each combination, moving them up and down the pendulum arm until you find the best fit. Ones that do not slip, and always proceeds to the next gear tooth correctly.

It take some time to do this, but you will eventually find a combination that works The best. Good luck. You will feel proud when it is all working.

Hi, I started the clock, but I noticed that the gears at a certain point tend to slip and then resume the pace, see video, what could it be in your opinion?. a thousand thanks.

Massimiliano,

Here is a video of my clock showing the pawl’s in action. Maybe this will help you.

I just wanted to know how the two ratchets on the gears should work, but I would need a short video of how they work to see if this is possible. thank you.

no Steve, the is not working yet, I still have to make the connections with the electromagnet, when you saw the video it was an example where I was telling you if you could show me a video of the operation that the ratchets should do, to realize how they must work.

hi Steve, can you make me a short video, of how to shoot the ratchets that I show you in the video?, I would like to realize how they must work. thank you.

ok Steve, I will lengthen the holes with tip to recommend, thanks.

to me it seems to have mounted correctly, yes the screw above is tightened well, I remind you that I printed the smaller version for the Prusa mini +, it seems to me that the three harmonic wires of 1,5 x95 mm, are too long, I should shorten them to 90 mm, then the two frames shrink, or as Steve says I have to add shims, but it seems strange to me that there is such an accentuated play.

Hi Steve, the electromagnetic mechanism has arrived, as soon as I mount it I will show you the completed clock, I wanted to show you in the video if in your opinion the game between the various gears is too much or not, because I am afraid that when the clock works, the gears shift and go out of place.

In your opinion is it okay mounted in this way?.

a thousand thanks.

ok thank you very much for your reply, I seemed to have understood in the Stive instructions that you could adjust the static and dynamic pawl empty with only the central gears as I showed in the video, at this point I did not understand well, I struggle, I have to translate the language.

I'll wait for the movement to come to try everything.,
