| A steel coil is wound up using a key and then released. To control the speed of release a balance wheel is used to ensure that the rate of relaxation of the spring is uniform. This results in a consistent release of energy and a regular movement. Circular cogged gears are used to convert the energy into movements of various kinds. These include turning wheels, walking and jumping. | |||||||||||
