Mechanical Design

Computer Aided Design

Give a summary of your CAD (escapement wheel and pendulum) and what motivated your design. Mention which parts of the design are fixed, and which one were free for design. Mention the trade-offs you made to make sure your pendulum design could be manufactured and has it Center of Gravity below its rotation point (well-balanced)

The CAD parts of the design were the escapement wheel, the pallets, and the pendulum part of the clock. The escapement wheel and the pallets had to be designed precisely for the system to work. The pendulum was free for design, and I chose Captain America's shield.
