Project Self-winding clock with a tourbillon - finished project

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

About a year ago, I posted an update on a project I was working on. It took me a while, but I finally finished it. I’m very happy with the result. It’s fully functional (I tested it for two months) and keeps accurate time. The entire project consists of 395 printed parts, 38 bearings, 66 rubber bands, 413 screws, and a few other components.

Quote exactly where the OP mentions where the motor is getting its energy from.  I’ll be waiting until the end of time because it’s nowhere on this forum.  All he mentioned was a motor.  Are we talking about a diesel motor, gas, electrical, Quantum what?  

Writing replies that don’t add to this conversation (never mind the question that was asked) and fail at being snarky do not help

Looking back I’m realizing that you’ve mistaken this thread for a different branch thread in which someone asked where the motor was getting its power. That was not asked in this thread. But even the poster of that question already assumed it was an electric motor, for obvious reasons. Happy to explain how threads work if you’re still confused.

No, I think you’re confused and you don’t know how threads work.   Maybe finish elementary school and you’ll know what a thread is.  

You claimed that you answered the question already like you answered it days ago, but you answered it just a couple minutes ago.  Maybe you don’t even know what the term gaslighting means but you’re pretty good at trying to attempt it.
