Has anyone made a centrifugal clutch from Lego bricks? Searching Google, lugnet news, and brickshelf didn't turn up anything. I found a Meccano one here: (URL) motorizing a monorail switch (which was surprisingly easy), but I'd like to disengage the (...) (21 years ago, 13-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

Pixel gave me an idea in his message about new parts, this part can be used as a weight: (URL) a good one 'cause it slides well on an axle and it has a cross axle hole in the other end thus a small wheel can be attached for greater friction against (...) (21 years ago, 14-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I'm not sure I follow your English this time pixel? Sure there will be some friction on the pin that the 6641 slide on, but I don't think it will be greater then the centrifugal force. A rubber band that retracts the 6641's is also needed. I (...) (21 years ago, 14-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I am leaning this way. I think even the little extra load of the clutch attached to the monorail switch might prevent the monorail train from operating it. My switch is adapted from Guido Heunen's ((URL) -- thanks Guido!) in that I have an 8t (...) (21 years ago, 14-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)
