A modification of 64; a weight, D, attached to an arm secured in the shaft of the worm-gear, being used instead of spring and cam.
Only the input is driven; every other part of this model moves by physics (MuJoCo), and its ratios are measured. Run it live, change its parameters, or switch the friction off to see the output stop.
Modelled as
No. 64's worm, 30-tooth worm-gear B and pin on B's shaft driving the half-cut-away hollow shaft; an 8 cm arm with a steel weight D replaces spring and cam. The pin lifts D over the top, D falls half a turn ahead and hangs until the pin catches up.
Measured
weight/wheel 1.000 while lifted (1-4.5 s); D still at 2π±0.001 over 7.5-9.5 s; wheel/worm 1/30; max pen 0.02 mm
Notes
Weight swings 0.43 rad past the bottom before settling (j_weight damping 0.01), short of the sleeve back face (free arc π+0.6).
