The Rollercoaster Clock is something out of my childhood dreams. I used to play tons of rollercoaster tycoon as a kid, and I spent a good portion of my life planning to be a rollercoaster designer. Dreams have finally come true as I formulated this track. Dreams were then shattered as I realized it was going to be weeks before I could see the thing working in real life. The lifting mechanism uses a couple linkages that work in tandem to raise the ball up to the top of the track. Then gravity takes over as the ball travels through a loop de loop and a helix before finding it’s way onto one of 3 tracks that make up the clock face. The track selection is handled by a gear system that is connected to a cam and follower mechanism. After 10 minutes go by, the balls on the lowest track get released via another cam and follower mechanism. The selector then selects the next track, and a ball is deposited. This is repeated every 10 minutes until an hour has passed, where the same mechanism selects the top track. After 12 hours have gone by, all 3 tracks get emptied, and the cycle starts again.
