Ugears Aero Clock
Aero Clock
For years, we've been hearing the same question again and again from our loyal customers: "Can Ugears create a working clock model kit, one that actually keeps accurate time?" Finally, the wait is over...
Ugears is proud to present the Aero Clock, a fully-functioning DIY wall clock with pendulum. The theme of the Aero Clock is early aeronautics. In the role of "cuckoo" the Ugears Aero Clock features a model hot air balloon.
This simple-yet-elegant Ugears clock is driven by the force of gravity pulling down a weighted bag (you can fill the bag with sand or salt). Raise the bag on its pulleys to wind the clock. As the weight slowly descends, it rotates a drive gear, which then rotates an escape wheel through a reducer. The clock features an adjustable weighted pendulum which interacts with the escape wheel through the steady tick-tock of the anchor mechanism. You can adjust the clock's ticking action to the second, by sliding the pendulum's top and bottom weights. The reducer also transmits rotation to an hour disc and a minute disc.
The Ugears' Aero Clock with pendulum is a marvellous puzzle, and the perfect family project.
