Future Clock Project

 


 

It will have more functions than the hospice clock, and a compensation work for the Sun and Moon, the idea is to build two clocks next to each other with one driving clockwork, the second clock will show the movement of the planets

 

 

The Sun (real) will move in the inner zodiac ring, the Moon (real) in the outer.

 

The epicyclic train
(The wheels and pinions are not at the right place yet, my first job to do)

 

 The moon turns in a synodic month showing the phases

 

 

Do I understand my own Drawings?
(Just some first ideas)

 

Eccentric wheel for (almost) real Moon
(The Moon has several inequalities, the major is the anomaly, just over 6 degrees, I hope this will do the job)
 

 

Wheel cutting

 
 

Differential for the Moon

 

 

Compensation for the Sun
(Also not in place yet, a pin follows a disc in a special shape that turns once a year)
 

 

Testing the compensation

 

 

 Engraving the zodiac images
