In this project, we learned how to use many different tools like drills and screwdrivers, and different materials like 40-4 round-headed screws, remear, or even an acrylic board. A challenge I faced was making the design for the clock. We used programs like Fusion 360 and CAD, which were very new to me and extremely hard to use at first.
I think the most important outcome was that it actually worked. I had a few errors when building like using a tap drill instead of a clearance hole drill which made the holes too small, and my gears for the back of the model wouldn't stay superglued together. Another important outcome was my results we estimated results in three different ways first point mass analysis, then inertia, then 2-d model. For my project, the closest to the actual tests was the 2-d model at roughly .68 seconds. Then after doing my three tests, it was determined that my average time for the clock was in fact .68. So that was really good.
