Hi Oli 80
On the first video he uses a useless gear because the movement can very well be taken on the first plate for less mechanical loss!
On the second one which strangely resembles the small music box with dancing ballerina, the efficiency is not very great but for the time being I admit that the system was quite simple to build!
