Hi All:

  The drawings and photos of internals of the Orange Clockwork sculpture
are now attached to this post. Have fun, let us know how you make out.

Thx

Art,

Fantastic....I have been waiting a long time for this,
I will try and incorporate it into one of my spinning wheels.....

I assume it is your take on a David C. Roy, mechanism,
is that correct?

Yours appears to be simpler and much easier to understand.

I have no idea how you figure this stuff out, but I really
appreciate all of your hard work.

You are a Godsend to us non-mechanical engineers.....

Thank you,
Richard

Richard:

  Thx. This is my version of the dual rotational device David C. Roy uses in monarch, I couldnt figure out exactly how
his was done, so this trigger mechanism is my thoughts on how to do it. The only wrong way to do such a thing is if
it doesnt tick.

I'm not sure what an Orange Clockwork sculpture is so I did a Google search for "Orange Clockwork Sculpture".  Pretty funny!

Art,

How many minutes will this run for?

Hi Richard:

  Runs for just over an hour in testing. But the better you balance one like this to extend its cycle, the longer
you will get.

If you have more pins than 8- say 12 would it rotate slower and longer?

Dan;

The more pins you have the slower it rotates, in other words the less of a kick it gets between pins.

Dan:

Mimumum number is two for 180 degree push, max is enough room to trigger and angle of push will be 360/pins.
Might be hard to fit too many.. depends on build I guess.

Art,

I just opened Gearotic for the first time in a while.

Did my software upgrade itself, I had never seen ver. 4.92 before?

Where did the flourish stuff go to?

I am confused?
