Thank you for letting me join.
I am trying to have made a gear system to prove a clock can keep itself wound.
There are no more clock maker in Canada
So I am trying my very best to use clocks to help with sceince.
I am trying to show that if a 30 pound spring
Keeps a 10 pound spring rewound
That if geared correctly
The 10 pound spring can keep the 30 pound spring rewound
And it will run continuously
Takes some gear cutting and assembly . Hopefully someone will be able to do.
Here is a picture

A chime releases 60 grams longer than a time movement ( on average with no regulator a chime works 20 minutes and a time movement works 5 minutes)
If 60 grams is the rewinding force
then a chime set to release 60 grams can rewind a movement of any strength as long as it rewinds at less than 60 grams.
So if a 30 pound spring with a time movement with bigger gears is set to rewind at 60 grams in 5 minutes.
Then a 10 pound spring with a chime movement that releases 60 grams for 20 minutes can rewind the 30 pound spring and the 10 pound spring will have 15 minutes of strength left over.
So a 30 pounds spring that rewinds in 5 minutes at 60 grams
Can be rewound by a 10 pound spring set to release 60 grams for 20 minutes
This has stumped everyone in all of Canada and I am hoping you will break this mystery for the 35 million people in Canada who can't make a clock
You will be helping a lot more than only the clock industry
Please help us with this
Your time is truly appreciated
