Gravity powered Escapement Wheel Part 2, Construction

In this follow up video, the basics of construction for this escapement mechanism are reviewed. This device was not particularly hard to build and can be simplified beyond what was shown here. In the prior video of this piece, the operation and various parts were identified as simple machines making it ideal as an instructional tool. Possible lessons in physical science concepts may include such concepts as, potential energy, kinetic energy, simple machines, compound machines, mechanical advantage and friction.
