My mechanical clocks

A new creation, and possibly a new world record holder in terms of accuracy (I still need to do multiple day long tests to verify this). -

My guess is that a true shock absorber wouldn't work very well at the small scale of Lego cars. Lego models don't bounce all that much because friction is doing all the necessary damping already; this includes friction in the "shock absorber" piece as well as the flexing of entire structure which is far less rigid than actual car.

Thanks! Not really necro-posting, I plan to do some more experiments soon :) -

Exactly. More of this, please! -

The saving grace is that the piece is light and completely unloaded when freewheeling. I would ony expect wear when freewheeling at a high speed. -

Probably longer than a spring-based solution. It can only fail by ramps shearing off/grinding down over time, and they seem to be almost as bulky as regular teeth. This is an excellent design. -

The new 64T gear already found its use With 2.25 seconds period pendulum, the gear does 1 rotation in 144 seconds. Add two 1:5 gear ratios, and we have 3600 seconds. -
General Part Discussion

Personally I have never seen hydraulic brakes on a bike Reintroduction of the flex system here would be fantastic. I like the looks of the Lego version much more than the ideas submission. Wheels with tyres are the obvious improvement, and the frame feels way too bulky.- 5,786 replies

Exactly, there are no recesses because holes are less than 1 brick deep. Only the central axle part is 1 brick, gears need some side clearance. -

I'd agree that it looks bad, wheels seem undersized. -

400048 Bugatti Type 35
Davidz90 replied to Davidz90's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I figured there's no need for a separate topic for this MOC. Here's my very poor, first attempt at reverse-engineering a set: The model features working inline 8 engine with rear differential and a barebones 2 speed gearbox (actuated by the side lever). Gray parts are spray-painted silver like the rims, with moderate success.
