Making A Lego Mini Pendulum Clock 

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!

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

Time sure flies by when you're building ;)

That is very impressively compact! I’d love to see a part 2 with an hour hand too

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]

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

We need a parts list and instructions! this is such a cool bit of mathematical lego engineering!!

so tiny! i like your solution for fixing the string to the barrel. where to tie the string is always challenging. KEvron

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.

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

This is really cool. I would love to build one myself.

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.

So criminally underrated!

Superb! The Block Clock would be a neato name for this creation

I love the gasp of excitement when the escapement worked after the initial redesign.

This is a lovely project. Simple, compact and yet functional. More, please.

Nice one!👌I would love a part 2 !!!

Dude, LEGO Ideas would eat this up! Definitely do a part 2.

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!

i want a part 2

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.

It is amazing how compact you managed to get it! Such a cool style of video. ( :

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 =))

This man has mastared the abbilty to appear everywere and at the same time is a master lego buillder

A LEGO clock? It's about time!

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.

This is an AWSOME CREATION!

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.

this is amazing, i would love a part two

When you're having fun, time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

Most hypnotising thing on the planet I felt like I was gonna get knocked unconsious for several hours just from listening to this

Now this, this is what I want to build

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

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

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

Nice build, i noticed your new watch too! Congrats :)

TUTORIAL PLEASEEE THIS IS THE COOLEST THING EVER

HOLY U HAVE 87k I REMEMBED WHEN U HIT 1k LOL I WAS SUBBED AT 1k LOL

I love this so much!!! When will part two be up?? Super good work on the mechanics.

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🤩

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

Has anyone noticed that banging on thin metal sound, that mm sound, that deep wah-uhh sound, the knocking sound, that sound of something falling on the floor, that Kirby sound that other sound of something falling on the floor and that sound of a child’s voice every time the clock ticked.

Wow, time flies by when your making a clock

Amazing! Did you think abut making a pendulum rachet mechanism using a gear?

Dude you rock

Super satisfying

Not really a clock but OKAY, I like it!

I’m excited for your improvement

Super amazing dude! Keep up the amazing work!

Now i wanna make this masterpiece

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

Look into the pendulum. You'll now build a giant LEGO tower.

Please do a part two

This is just amazing

how cool is this

Amazing work!

Just: WOW

Good build

Master builder!

it's fantastic

Amazing 👏 love the design, can you add a minute hand?

and also your tank is so cool to

Very impressive

Impressive build❤

1 minute clock. Usefull!

i guess you could say this clock-work is pretty hard.

I thought jk brickworlds was the peak of lego greatness, i was wrong

More short timer than clock, but great work.

Really cool built but if you can built such a cool mechanism were is the better version of the rubiks cub

You really genius

It’s awsome! I can put my money in there

wow that's so cool

I really can't wait to see the Lego escapement

This is really cool!!!

Please do a part two XD

Look great

put the crank on a rachet so it only moves when you wind it

I guess that the weight is to force the oscillation against dissipative forces? Just trying to learn, you see...

Really cool even the sound is awesome

This is so cool!

Great a incredible clock

He turned Lego into science

This is so good

6:35 sounds like the start to mainiac

This is the best video EVER!

Very cool

This youtuber reminds me of mumbo jumbo but legos

Super cool!

It,s very good

Wow wow wow it tooo cool 👍

cool

Amazing its an awesome build

Awesome!

Okay I did actually notice a problem with the escapement, when it runs it flips all the way around which is a huge waste of power. If you make one with more teeth it'll probably work better. The less it freely spins the more power you will get from the weight

Now I'm guessing a spring to auto wind the crank and raise up the weight.

That's really cool build! I should replace my clock with this!

I will also try to make that too

Now it's time for part 2!
