Okay the second version of the Escape Wheel was better than the first, but still was not a complete success. This time it was not possible to adjust the pallets to prevent the escape wheel from free running, or jamming. And of course that means that I've a made another version to test. This time around the teeth on the Escape Wheel are more like spokes than teeth. This design allows the pallets to be in full blocking mode for the next tooth before the current tooth finishes pushing the opposite pallet out of the way. I did however have to add 20mm to the diameter of the Escape Wheel in order to thick enough (4mm) teeth with sufficient space between the teeth.

Hopefully this version will work better.
