I have some ideas for "Kinetic Sculptures" for lack of a better term.   The first thing for these sculptures is that I don't want them to run on batteries or require a electric socket. Another requirement is that its based on weights not springs.  So for a proof of concept I went looking for a clock work escapement.  Of course there are lots of these.  So, since for some strange reason I have Lego's sitting around I tried to find Lego escapements to see if I could build one that worked.  Well I found multiple Lego clock references but most required parts I didn't have readily at hand.  Except for this one.  I had tried making my own and various other escapements I had found, so upon finding this one it was more incorporated into what I had started than copied one for one.  So here is what I ended up with.

I know, I know. I never finished the London Reports.  Really I do intend to get back to them.  This time I'm trying to go for the keeping up with the current trip.   So that brings us to the eminent road trip.  A week long pilgrimage to the Galileo telescope on display in Philadelphia at the Franklin Institute.

I have had these for a while.  I saw this post on BibliOdyssey that prompted me to get these scanned and posted.  I sent these directly to BibliOdyssey for their use but now they are posted for the rest of the world to use.

I'm changing the site up a bit.  The latest site news is now just the latest news.  I plan to use this for a place to put links to things I've read, seen, like, etc.  Some may make the home page some may not.  This way this section may get more use.
