Pendulum Clock #shorts

3-Second Blueprint (English)

1. A mechanical clock escapement regulates gear rotation by allowing exactly one escape-wheel tooth to advance during each swing of the pendulum.
2. Because a pendulum oscillates with a constant gravitational period, gating gear motion to each swing produces uniform mechanical timekeeping.
3. Hanging weights supply potential energy so the escape wheel delivers a tiny push on every swing, offsetting friction to prevent slowing down.
