Mehess Motor

Good idea, and very interesting...I await the inclusion of the "winding motor" and the results gained from storage and subsequent "use of" the stored energy to sustain the clock winding... very good idea again I say!
If it works as you say....get ready for a lot of press

Yes because the parts are easy to get ahold of.  The clock part is complex but you can buy that already done pretty much anywhere.

Interesting concept, but what about the drag on the magnets that
go through the coils, when he draws current from the coils ?
Is this compensated by the springs in the clock ?

I really would like to see first his charged up capacitor being able to rewind the clock
first, before you break the champain bottle and then also run a real load like an LED with it....
Looking forward for some updates with a bigger clock pendulum and bigger magnets...

It's hard to say anything not seeing the schematic.
8 days is not bad, but some Adams motors work the same way, till battery finally fails.
Can we see a diagram?

It's a needlessly complicated mechanism for converting mechanical energy stored in a spring to electrical energy in a capacitor, (at some loss.)

Why is this thing of any interest to anyone?
