If there was no spring it would need some other kind of energy storage device. For example, a pendulum clock uses the potential energy of the pendulum in order to store the clocks energy. This is probably not the case in a toy, but it still needs an energy storage system.
A spring driven clock is wound and that creates energy for the clock to work.
The spring stretches when pulling force acts on it. The greater the force, the extension of the spring. The spring is attached to a pointer, which indicates the amount of force exerted on the spring
use this equation and plug it in. find with relations to Pot. energy for spring and work W=Fs=1/2 k x^2 where w=work f=force s=displacement k=spring constant x=change in displacement
A watch winder works by twisting gears that are attached to a tension spring. Once the gear is twisted and the spring is at full tension, the watch will properly work.
Let's say you compress the spring. Work (mechanical energy) is required to compress the spring; this energy is stored in the spring and can be recovered (converted to another type of energy) when the spring returns to its normal position.
Windup radios are just as the name says: they are radios in which you would crank a handle on the side going in a circular motion. this then charged the radio so that it would work. so you would windup the radio
all windup watches work by a mainspring that is wound up really tight, the spring wants to let go as soon as it is wound up tight. as you wind up the mainspring that parts in the watch start to move and the watch starts to keeps time. this is called a balance action. the balance wheel has a hairspring under it that returns the balance wheel to its main position as you wind the mainspring the force of it puts tension on the parts and that is how the windup watch works.
it did for me
i have tried it but i does not work
Before the invention of very small batteries many toys and games were powered by a wound spring (clock work) As late as the 1960' many toys including model railroads relied on clockwork.
The mechanical toys can use rubber bands, springs and flywheels to make them work
The Futaba 3VCS will work great for water toys.
How does a spring-loaded reel work?
How does a spring-loaded reel work?
eny kind of tape or glue will work on toys
Maybe, you can search cheap Godzilla toys, that might work, or try bye zilla toys!
If it's designed to work with gas, you have to use gas, no other way.
