Escapement with Oscillating Gears
![Date Date](/universal/images/transparent.png)
A fellow creator recently sent me this video of a fascinating escapement mechanism he has designed and constructed in wood. It incorporates oscillating gears and creates a wonderfully rhythmic sound.
This neat structure is created by Dolf Perenti. He has incorporated an adjustable pedulum in the design to allow for fine tuning of the mechanism.
My work is also based on creative applications of escapement mechanism design. This example is an excellent and clear demonstration of the parts of an escapement and good viewing for those people trying to understand the concept.
Thanks for sharing, Dolf!
