Sammanfattning
This report focuses on the construction and analysis of a mechanical clock by applying
theoretical and practical methods from mechanics and machine elements. The
goal was to develop both a physical and an analytical model that could be examined
and analyzed. The analytical model was based on detailed motion equations and kinematics,
while the physical model was constructed using manufacturing techniques
such as 3D printing and traditional wood and metalworking.
By comparing the results from the physical model with theoretical calculations,
the accuracy of the analytical model could be calibrated and improved. The experiments
showed that through careful control and adjustment of the components, the
clock could maintain an operating time of almost 45 hours with a minimal margin
of error, surpassing the project’s goals.
The project particularly highlights the challenges of friction, which proved to have
a significant impact on the clock’s performance. Managing and minimizing friction
was crucial for achieving high precision, and insights from these experiences contributed
to a better understanding of how mechanical systems can be optimized.
The conclusion of the work is that the integrated application of mechanical and
mathematical principles is essential for developing precision systems. The project
also emphasizes the importance of iterative design and testing to achieve optimal
performance in mechanical constructions.
