DaVinci Collection – Flying Pendulum Clock

Description

Introduction

Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian Renaissance polymath who was interested in invention, architecture, science, and engineering. Up to now, many manuscripts left from Da Vinci have been found. Some of them have been invented, but some were not possible at that time, thus, he left these manuscripts and hoped that people could improve them to create something better in the future. Based on the manuscripts, the DIY kits allow us to learn the parts of each machine and principles of motion.

Easy to assemble.

Leonardo da Vinci was fascinated by escapement mechanisms that measure time, he studied a number of them.

Based on his work, the kit uses the laws of motion and a “flying” pendulum escapement to keep accurate time.

The pendulum’s weight acts as the clock’s power source.

To speed up or slow the clock, adjust the weight-balance of the pendulum by adding or removing weights.
