- This is a fully mechanical LEGO clock... better than last time's one (that was a disaster). It has a pendulum and escapement mecahnism and I could definitely do a part 2 if you guys wanted. If you enjoyed, please leave a like, and subscribe to not miss any content!

I'm honestly shocked at this point that Lego hasn't made official sets like this by now. How awesome would it be to get some simple mechanical devices like this that you get to actually build before you use? Talk about an amazing way to teach kids about how things work! Until such time though, keep making awesome videos like this!
yeah, LEGO definitely has an opportunity to teach kids mechanical principles and get them interested in engineering from a young age. I hope these videos can teach my young audience about simple mechanisms, trial and error, mechanical advantage, problem solving e.t.c
the main problem with a proper pendulum clock is the weight... but no real reason they can't make a quartz clock to teach them about gear ratios
@@thebravegallade731 I mean, I feel like with sets in a line about this stuff, they could either make some special parts, or just include a few things that aren't Lego, since the point is to make a working thing you then use.
They scared of *tension*
There are actually „lego education“ sets designed for schools. When i was a kid we got one for Christmas. There are instructions for building an actual clock mechanism (even though it worked terribly, it still showed how it worked). There were even pneumatic and electric add-ons you could buy
with the gears coming out of the sides like that, you could do minutes and hours as separate modules and have them all run off the same driver
that would be cool, but in part 2 I just designed a mechanism where the hour and minute hand run separately off the same axle and I want it to only have 1 face
Time sure flies by when you're building ;)
Lol
Haha great pun

That is very impressively compact! I’d love to see a part 2 with an hour hand too
sure, if I can find weights that are heavy enough to be able to be geared up a lot so I can put in a minute or hour hand

@@puzzLEGO if you use the 8 blade propeller fan you may be able to get more ticks out of each rotation so it’ll run for longer
@@berellevy2 yep gears also do the job (with a 40 tooth it can last 20-40 times longer). It's just that it didn't fit inside the 6x6, although if I make another clock or do a part 2 I will make it a bit bigger
Cool!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm curious to know how pendulum clocks are able to run for days without needing to be wound again. The weight seems to fall pretty steadily. If you do a part 2, I'd love to see you touch on that
Yes so basically you gear up as much as possible so every rotation of the axle the weight is connected to leads to as many rotations of the escape wheel as possible, the reason why I didn’t do more was because it created too much friction so the weight was too light to turn the axle. I’ll fix it in part 2
I’m guessing that’s why a lot of grandfather clocks are as tall as a person lol so the weight has farther to fall. Also making it heavier would give it more potential energy when wound up

IIRC real clocks have way more efficient escapements, and often have pulleys that apply more force with less verticle distance.
Arguably one of the best lego mechanisms of all time. No it isn't. Yes it is. No! it! isn't! YES IT IS!! [Message repeats]
clocks do have pretty cool mechanisms
NO IT ISN’T!!!!
Yes *it is*
No it isnt
indeed it is
We need a parts list and instructions! this is such a cool bit of mathematical lego engineering!!
watch the video and you have both...
@@user-iv5cz1re1f Yes, but usually you will find a link that lets you buy all the parts. And there are different gears and axels so its hard to tell
so tiny! i like your solution for fixing the string to the barrel. where to tie the string is always challenging.

This is a lovely project. Simple, compact and yet functional. More, please.
i want a part 2
This video is amazing. I've always wanted to know how a pendulum clock worked and you've done such a good job showcasing the mechanics inside.
thanks, I really hope to make a cooler vid by part 2 with some more clock features so stay tuned for that!
It is amazing how compact you managed to get it! Such a cool style of video. ( :
Amazing build!
Working Lego clocks, from the simplest to most complex, fascinate me.
The sound it makes is incredible. An exquisite Tick followed by an exceptionally satisfying Tock. Well done.
Haha yeah, it’s because of how much force is constantly on the escape wheel from the pendulum and the weight wheel that it makes such a loud noise
I love the gasp of excitement when the escapement worked after the initial redesign.
Nice one!👌I would love a part 2 !!!
This is an AWSOME CREATION!
this is amazing, i would love a part two
Dude, LEGO Ideas would eat this up! Definitely do a part 2.
So criminally underrated!
Holy crap the escapement is the most genius thing I've ever seen it's so simple and so effective you're genius I literally want to build my own clock now
This is really cool. I would love to build one myself.
Amazing work!
This is an amazing contraption better than my pendulum lego clock amazing how you gain about 10k subs per month keep up these builds which open new imagination for others my pendulum clock is a 8 by 10by 9 +12=732 lego units as counts hours yours has compacted gearing and uses up a little bit of space
Superb! The Block Clock would be a neato name for this creation
haha yeah
YES
This is just amazing
Super satisfying
Impressive build❤
Wow. This is freakin’ amazing! 🤩
Okay, challenge proposal.
Do this:
- make a grandfather clock (doesn’t need to be a 1 to 1 replica of a real one, that would be too insane)
- In big 2 meter tall would be interesting.
-make the clock show time correctly (that’s gonna be the most difficult part about it)
-propose the finished product to Lego Ideas.
Wow, time flies by when your making a clock
OH MY! That is so cool! If it were a LEGO set I would definitely buy it! I really want to build this but I don't think I have the pieces though I might order some :) Thanks for the amazing tutorial!
no problem!
Super amazing dude! Keep up the amazing work!
thank you!
Now this, this is what I want to build
Ok that is very satisfying of a build, I've seen you comment in different videos, but didn't really check you out, turns out you make really cool and original Lego builds
I love this so much!!! When will part two be up?? Super good work on the mechanics.
Really cool even the sound is awesome
This is really cool!!!
This man has mastared the abbilty to appear everywere and at the same time is a master lego buillder
This is so cool!
Now i wanna make this masterpiece
Master builder!
Incredible
Dude you rock
I’m excited for your improvement
Made some major breakthroughs video coming soon
Great a incredible clock
Nice build, i noticed your new watch too! Congrats :)
thanks :) youtube revenue comes in handy quite a bit
I was bored and got the idea to build a clock and this design has helped and may be one I use instead of a motor
This is so good
A LEGO clock? It's about time!
I was about to scroll past this but got the joke lol
It is an epic build!
Super cool!
Great idea and build! I think there's a possible improvement in the anchor and escape wheel connection. From what I can see in the video, it appears that the anchor does a great job pacing the escape wheel, but the escape wheel is only pushing the anchor in one direction, and thus driving the pendulum only have the period (going from right to left). This is also probably why it stopped so easily at first. Doubling up the anchor connections (like in actual pendulum clocks) would make the movement of the pendulum much more reliable...
Thanks for making this video, because it stimulates our creative thinking and makes me want to tinker with the concept too =))
That’s a good idea, my next clock which I’m designing now could probably fit that, but I’m using a heavier weight anyway so there shouldn’t be any issues with the escape wheel not having enough force to push the pendulum
Look great
I love it!
Awsesome!!!
Amazing 👏 love the design, can you add a minute hand?
Thats incredible! Please do a part 2! : )
I will, I've made some major improvements
Nice, im looking forward to it!
I really can't wait to see the Lego escapement
That is amazing.
wow that's so cool
This is the best video EVER!
I once made a clock too when i was like 12 years, i made it from old K'nex like lego's and it could run for 3 minutes maximum but used a winding motor instead of weights.
Awesome!
Most hypnotising thing on the planet I felt like I was gonna get knocked unconsious for several hours just from listening to this
That is so damn cool!
it's fantastic
Just: WOW
That's really cool build! I should replace my clock with this!
Very impressive
and also your tank is so cool to
how cool is this
Amazing its an awesome build
Glad you like it!
@@puzzLEGO it's mathematically and creatively good and im not good at math but i can be creative sometimes but this is awesome
Very cool
amazing
Amazing! Did you think abut making a pendulum rachet mechanism using a gear?
I was considering that, it can last about 20x or even 40x longer, and I could do for part 2, it just doesn't fit in the box lol
Wow wow wow it tooo cool 👍
thats epic
Please do a part two XD
You really genius
Cool!!
IT'S TOO GOOD. you never fail to make me smile. ;-)
Im still remember when i can make a working machine using lego back then..
But because im not have enough lego to continue my work.. so i keep destroy my finished project just to make a latest one..
As time passed.. my lego pieces keep missing.. I don’t know who take it and how it happens😅
Its looks like i must collect them all again..😂
Awesome work.. looking forward for part 2🤩
thank you, part 2 soon!
TUTORIAL PLEASEEE THIS IS THE COOLEST THING EVER
impressive !
When you're having fun, time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
epic! can i try using this design for a moc?
You got a new sub I would of died to have a clock kit as a kid,ik their not real but I was tinker as kid taking apart Roombas to find out about mechanical principals
It's very impressive
damn good job i hope you will do a part 2 to full automatize it :D
hmm, I think the only way to fully automate it would be a motor that resets the weight every so often. If I can find an easy way to do that then sure
@@puzzLEGO yay i hope you will do it your safes and motors are very simple but always great .
How much weight does this one circle has?
Amazing, any chance you share the parts list?
Simplemente magnífico 100000/10
cool
Now it's time for part 2!
Nice
Full grandfather clock that is over 30hrs per wined up, only Lego. Weights and all. They use to make Lego weights that went in the boat hulls.
Seriously though, 3 weights, pully system, 30hrs+ per winding, hour, minute and second hand and if you go fancy a case so your not using double sided tape to stick to the wall.
Would be epic af, I'm only missing a couple parts you used. Might have to buy some legos. Lol
So if the gears and mechanism are mostly plastic, how long would it take for the gears to went off and completely malfunctions the mechanism? The gear’s teeth can sometimes break after a lot of stress, in my opinion.
I think the trickiest part would be to make the minute hand tick to the next number after the second hand does a full rotation. I don't mean do little ticks as the second hand goes along, I mean the minute hand stays put until the second hand does a full rotation and then it ticks to the next number. That's how clocks used to be but everyone does it the lazy way now.
Yeah, that would be super cool, but probably not worth the effort lol
