I was thinking of completely mechanical using dashpots and springs and

such. Maybe 3D print it so it looks ugly and works badly, but is

newsworthy.

OK I'm mostly an idiot mechanically, But if we could make something that looks like an integrator.. I was thinking about angular velocity, as the controlled parameter... but that might not be so good. Maybe just store energyin a rotational spring, (angualr position?)

Wow... that sounds fun... (OK I was just thinking about a 'bang-bang'
rail limited oscillator.. not the entire 555 'logic diagram/ truth table'.)
Mechanically that seems hard enough.

Hydraulic shouldn't be too hard...

I probably could roll such a version... I grew up in a radio and TV
repair shop, built a few ultra-linear power amps but found toobz
rather boring... to the point that my academic plan was to go into


Them in 1956, my father became a Raytheon wholesaler. Filling the
parts bins I discovered CK722's, and CK760's. I was hooked >:-]
...Jim Thompson



Brings back good memories! I still have the CK722 a friend gave

me in 1958 (?) Never had a CK760 :-( Bike rides to the dump to get

parts from radios & TV's. Got an after school job at the local Radio/TV

repair shop as a gopher/floor sweeper/truck loader/etc

and they let me fix stuff when there was no non-fixing work to do.

Wow, I just turned 101000b, you guys make me feel young, thanks :)

One of my colleagues doesn't know what a slide ruler calculator is. (that makes me old again)

Cheers

Maybe angular velocity = voltage, torque = current.

Input power is from a motor driving a shaft.

OK.. I wasn't sure where the energy came from.. I was thinking of maybe some gravity feed
... which might turn it into a cockoo clock.
