Is Self Winding the Solution for Keeping Clocks Wound?

[jameskennymatheson]

i am being told trying to make a self winding clock means ppm when this is a self winding clock

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_Winding_Clock_Company

and this is a self winding watch

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_watch

i hope someone speaks on my behalf to be allowed to discuss keeping a clock winding

its just to keep clocks wound

it is not ppm as the other pieces show

thank you

(the term is PMM, not ppm)

What is the source of the energy to wind the watch? And why did you mention magnets in your initial post?

 

[jameskennymatheson]

i dont see how magnets play a role
i am only doing this to keep clocks wound
thats my only intention

 

[berkeman]

Well, your first try at starting this thread mentioned a spring that wound itself by using magnets, which is why it was deleted. If you are just asking for help making a self-winding watch that is powered by body movement, etc., that should be okay.

Do you have a design in mind that you want to try to build? BTW, is this for a schoolwork assignment?

 

[jameskennymatheson]

this project is to prove it works, no schooling , there are no clock schools, hopefully because of this they male a clock school
It's really simple

it winds itself when you tilt your arm , i am hoping someone can find me a mechanical engineer to test the 2 spring system i am suggesting, sadly there are no clock makers left in most parts of the world

when you smile im happy

What construction resources do you have available? Do you have access to woodworking tools? Any machine shop tools? Do you know anybody who has a 3-D printer?

 

[jameskennymatheson]

nobody will help me where i live and they stole my only working model
and all the 3d designers sell me garbage for very high prices and then demand more money for more things that dont work, been that way forever and its only getting worse

there are no clock schools,

That's not true. There are many.

My father did some of that. He visited a clockmaker in Sweden who took the training. That man said for the final exam, he had to take a block of solid brass and make a working clock from that.

 

[jameskennymatheson]

Then get your dad to build this
That's great
There are no clock schools in Canada

You should do simple Internet Searches before saying things like that.

5 seconds found me these:

honestly if you dont want to help me then dont reply
i know these schools and they dont teach clock making
i also know the clock schools in america
and they teach clock repair
if you dont want to help them please dont

 

[jameskennymatheson]

i have gone to all the clocks school and i know them all
down to nawcc in america and trois rivere i know my country
if you dont want to help them dont reply

Please stop trolling or your thread will be closed. Have you tried uploading a PDF copy of your drawings yet?

 

[russ_watters]

A clock is a stationary watch, so it can't be self-winding. Do you mean a watch? Is there a reason you can't use an actual watch movement? What exactly is your goal here? You say you want to prove they work - but we already know they do. So, what's there to prove?

The quality of the responses depends on the quality of your posts.

please remove my post
thank you
