Making a Spring Powered Motor

Copyright 2008 by James P. Riser


On this web page I shall describe the making of a spring powered (windup) motor that I want to use for several projects that I have in mind. The motor will be designed from scratch to be utilized in variety of items that I will be manufacturing. Please consider this web page to be a "work in progress" as I am creating it as I find time between other projects. This machinery will also be used to make a clock or two as time permits.
