Coup Perdu Movement
Hi Steve, Just played your YouTube video on your coup perdu movement.
Looks great. Not too sure if my wife will agree to another clock in our living room.
Anyway, considering the fact that this is going to be a desktop clock and that the weight required is small, this would mean that the winding of the weight will be interesting to give a long runtime. Are you looking at using a small geared motor to provide the energy to wind the weight up every few minutes.
Great work

Hi Guys,
I have been running the coup perdu constantly on the wall and I too have been replacing the N20 motors regularly. I think that I agree with Dave that they are just not designed for the duty cycle required to run the clock on the wall indefinitely.
I have purchased the following two drives to test, but my skills in 3D designing are just not there yet to be able to design and print something that could house these drives.
