Flying tourbillon. Single axis made in wood

This is a demonstration of a single axis flying tourbillon made in wood. It has a lever escapement and runs for 3 mins with a 150g weight. The hairspring is 3d printed plastic. Demountable weights on the balance wheel (5p coins) can demonstrate the relationship of frequency to oscillating mass. This is a good demonstration of the action of a lever escapement.
