Parametric Graham Escapement

Parametric Graham Escapement

thingiverse

A Graham escapement, or dead-beat escapement, is known for its ability to produce regular increments of rotation without forcing the wheel to move anti-clockwise during non-impulse periods. This Openscad design allows customization with different numbers of teeth and escapement gaps. It serves as an exercise in understanding escapements and Openscad, eventually leading to a full clock creation. However, it's more of a proof of concept and may require adjustments for practical use, such as adding pendulum, drop and lock to both impulse faces. A test jig powered by a rubber band is available at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7801 for further experimentation.
