Excellent video showing how you can 'time lapse' twelve hours of clock motion and compress it into a seven minute video. Cudos!

Stunning work. Love this.

Oh wow. So it's just a series of speciflcly placed holes, with the first one offset inside so it can only pick up the lower marble track, the others pick up from the upper track. So the next time it lifts 1 more than the last time. Then it dumps it all to the bottom track after getting to 12 in the upper.

I like how you don't need more trains to perform striking. It works kind of like a countwheel, because it can go out fo sync, but syncing is easy. just place the right number of marbles on the top shelf.

What a great video! It took me till you got to about 5:00 till I figured it out! NICE!!

Cool clock.

Extraordinario

Thanks a lot for demonstrating. I have wondered how it "counted" the marbles to use!

Very cool demonstration. How do you wind this clock?

Wonderful! Can the marbles ring the bell without a clapper being necessary?

I like this, what are you doing with the Marble Strike Movement know? Did you design the movement yourself. Thanks for sharing

me gusto mucho y me gustaría mas saber como puedo adquirir los planos para fabricarlo

Great!

Hey! What about creating an extended mechanism in order to perform quarter striking, too? I'm coming from Germany where most of the church clocks use to strike once, twice, 3 or 4 times to announce every quarter on a smaller bell. After striking the 4th quarter, the tower clock starts to chime the hours on a bigger bell. And so it is in other countries, too. Take another 10 marbles (1+2+3+4=10), and when the last of these marbles has reached the arrival bar, the complete weight forces the bar to go down and activates the hour strike mechanism. Or try to find a solution with at least four marbles for quarter striking (1 or 2 or 3 or 4) which follows exactly the same principle as for the 12 hours on the existing clock. If any physical law allows to make a quarter striking mechanism become reality and to fix it on the right side of the clock, so let's image the following situation: After the 4th quarter striking is over, one special marble is running over to the left side in order to activate the hour chiming mechanism there. Also be sure to find a way to make the clock mechanism let this or another special marble roll back to the right side within the following

So clever

Hola te felicito por tan excelente trabajo. Lo vendes? Cuanto vale?

I'll be starting up on this clock soon. For the wood, were you actually using plywood or did you plane down the wood to the required thicknesses as the plans call for? looking at the plywood in places like Homedepot, the thickness are not truely 3/4", 1/2", 1/4" like they claim they are...

Great, tk

Amazingggggg

Are there any plans available for this clock?

Interesting

Why don't you knock directly the bell with marbles, instead of the hammer pushed by marbles? Pourquoi vous ne sonnez pas directement la cloche avec les billes, au lieu d'utiliser les billes pour pousser le marteau?

Genial
