This project started with a rolling ball escapement designed by JBV Creative. That mechanism simply flips back and forth as a ball bearing rolls from one side of the track to the other. Perpetual motion is impossible, of course, so this mechanism relies on a weight to turn the gear system that pivots the track. The ball is just there for timing: when it reaches the end of the track, it pushes a lever that releases the mechanism and lets the weight drop a little. This will work until the weight reaches the ground or runs out of cord.
