This design, found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo%27s_escapement is the starting point of my project;
From that page:
In 1637, when he was 73, Galileo had the idea of a mechanism that would keep the pendulum swinging by givingit pushes, an escapement, thus allowing it to be applied to clocks. Since he was by then totally blind, he described the mechanism to his son Vincenzio, who drew a picture from his description. Galileo's student and biographer, Vincenzo Viviani, describes the invention
