Black forest cuckoo clock with power functions
After reading through some feedback on the LEGO ideas webpage I figured I needed to get this thing telling time! The gears are now hooked (see 30 seconds into the video for a shot of the gears) up to a clock arm with the ability to add power functions (see video).
One turn of the barrel now turns a hand on the clock face one minute.
60 turns of the barrel will drive the hand around the clock for one full rotation
The cuckoo is geared to come out when the hand hits the bottom and the top of the hour (12:00, 12:30, 1:00, 1:30. etc).
30 seconds into the video you can see the back of the model. I put colors on the gears and barrel to try and capture some of the movement - kids thought that was a good idea :-)
Enjoy!
