This is my homework and i cannot find any information on the internet...
what mechanism makes mechanical clocks work?
geared wheels driven by a wound spring
Often power for the device is stored within it, via a winding device that applies mechanical stress to an energy-storage mechanism such as a spring, thus involving some form of escapement; in other cases, hand power may be utilized. The use of wheels, whether linked by friction or gear teeth, to redirect motion or gain speed or torque, is typical; many clockworks have been constructed primarily to serve as visible or implicit tours de force of mechanical ingenuity in this area.
