This is the new and improved version of my compact ball clock with a chime feature. The changes are mainly there to address issues associated with the of the mechanical reliability and robustness against people "fiddling" with the clock while it is running.

It is really difficult to photograph the inside workings with the clock assembled and running. I tried to put as much as possible of the mechanism out in the open on the front, and I cut holes in the front to show the epicyclic gear drive for the lifts. If you go back to my first iteration of the chiming ball clock on you tube, I was able to lift the bonnet and show the insides and that will give you some idea.

Heartbreaking that this clock is not available nor has anyone picked up production for it. Something this brilliant should be celebrated! It seems that several people are interested in the plans and production but honestly, this should be be "productionized" with a major manufacturer to share this fantastic design and remove the burden from you. Please reconsider as there is not much in this space that is available for people like me who are passionate about this type of engineering and design.

Very smart and clever. Re the laser cutting if you can seal a cone with a hole just bigger than the beam infront of the lens hooked up to a compressed air supply that can jet through it at a decent velocity you can reduce the black edges to a pale brown colour. Laser cut stuff doesn't have to be black on the edges as the laser should be vaporising not burning its way through.

This would be perfect for Waiting Rooms, the only problem would be trying to tear people away once their turn comes. You should sell them as a working unit, or in kit form. I'd buy one, and not just for a Waiting Room.

This is a modification made, essentially using the basics of the Ball Clock Kit, which you could buy in any hobby store in the 80s and 90s. In addition to ball bearings, they also had some with golf and tennis balls. They all disappeared now and they don’t manufacture them any more because people got rid of all of them. After a couple of sleepless nights, owners gladly couldn’t give them away fast enough at every garage sale or swap meet!

@TheAlby87Project
@TheAlby87Project 8 лет назад
May I give you a humble suggestion? The ball that triggers the chime unit should be carried on top about 5 minutes before the mark of the hour (chiming is prepared) (1:55, 2:55...), and held by a stop/post in the chime tray. Then, when a ball pass a press plate/button installed just before the hour tray, it releases the trigger ball and start chiming. This have two advantages: 1) The clocks start chiming when all the signaling balls are at the right place: at the first "bong" you can read the hour correctly, instead of waiting the signaling trays to be updated 2) The striking train is started by the time train, it's better conceptually than having the big minute wheel starting the chiming and having the signaling balls flowing in a non connected manner Otherwise, really nice clock! :D

Any chance you still have plans or details on this clock that you can share? I like the way you made this, particularly the chiming mechanism, and would love to see how you got some of the mechanisms to work, and implement them on my own clock. I'm also considering using a raspberry pi or something to give the clock an "off" mode to keep track of the time without running any of the mechanisms (that way I don't wake up in the middle of the night to fourteen or so balls being recycled).

@andrewyates89
@andrewyates89 7 лет назад
I made five pre-production test units but after about a year, the wooden bearings had worn to the point where the ball-lifts were becoming unreliable. I feel that a clock has to be reliable for a lot longer than a year so I dropped the idea.
@cameronfarley5910
@cameronfarley5910 7 лет назад
Greetings Mr. Yates. I love this improved ball clock design you've come up with. Very unique! What if you were able to substitute the high-wear parts with plastic? If it's cost-effective, it should be easy to cut or 3-D print parts that would last longer. Personally, I love seeing clockwork in action, and think it would be cool using clear plastic to show it off. Like a skeleton clock. Just a stray thought: maybe you could work a deal with the local high school wood-shop/metal-shop teacher to where the students could make them as a final assignment or extra credit product.
@DeeZaster76
@DeeZaster76 6 лет назад
What about "tinning" the edges of any parts that come in contact with the balls? Metal on metal then would last much, much longer. You have a wonderful design here, it would be sad to just drop the idea of a production run.
