Galileo Clock

**NOTE:**
**A newer version 3.1 is available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5549040**

This is the design (made with OpenSCAD and fully customisable) of a functioning mechanical clock following the original ideas of Galileo Galilei dating back to 1600, that can be made on a laser cutter (with the addiction of standard bearings and a few other simple parts).

The oscillating mechanism uses a clever escapement system attributed to Galileo himself and also the first application of a pendulum to a clock (Galileo was the first to observe the isochronism of the pendulum, in 1602!)

The design has been modelled with OpenSCAD (sources included: two files form the BOSL library are also needed and are included here, just create a folder named "BOSL" and move them inside: constants.scad and involute_gears.scad), it can be animated to show the movements of all parts, and it is fully customisable. Generation of the DXF vector files is easily achieved by uncommenting the "projection"
