I'm thinking of having the gears on the moveable structure itself connect to the pendulum...I'm not sure yet how much friction there will be, I may need to use a lot of lego on the structure to make it heavier. -- Paul Davidson, aka Tinman (...)

If you want to vary the rate at which an object of constant weight moves, why not use a mechanism like an old postal scale. No, not the kind that shoots you when you look at it sideways... It involves a pendulum mounted so that when the object is at (...) (26 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.adventurers)

(...) I may very well be wrong, but I don't think this will give the desired effect. The friction inside the gear is quite high when there is no motion, which may be a problem when the mechanism is triggered. And what's more, I don't think it will (...)

(...) It wasn't me, 'twas Steve Bliss. (...) This sounds like a very interesting project indeed! You should report back if you succeed with this. You need to connect the weight of the base to the pendulum. How are you going to do that? You can have (...) (26 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.adventurers)
