Wouldn't really need this though. Geneva mechanism is mostly used for the winding mechanism, to stop it from being over wound or unwinding too much because when the spring is really wound or really unwound, the power it provides is a decreasing curve, in the middle is when the power is relatively linear and constant. All it does is prevent you from winding the last round and unwinding the first round of the watch. I don't remember if we have clocksprings in scrap mechanic but if it's powered by an engine, we wouldn't need the Geneva mechanism.

Slight possible improvement to the mechanism: Set the suspension stop mecanism in two suspensions instead of one. You see, right now when you lock it in, it pull down to go in, so at higher speed it might still have it down and create the problem. If you have it in another suspension (probably with a bit higher stiffness) it will stop earlier. It would still go down with the piece that is being unlocked, thats why im not sure it will work, but it just might.

Some time ago i needed to design a conveyor that would advance by a certain distance, then pause. A Geneva mechanism was one of the propositions, but i ended up using a Quick Return Mechanism (sometimes known as Whitworth Quick Return Mechanism or Shaper Mechanism). It consists of a rocking arm with a slot; a pin that's connected to a rotating wheel rides in that slot. With one rotation of the wheel the arm rocks to one side, then returns back at a faster speed. Should be a really simple build in SM, nudge nudge wink wink lol

Very interesting. Was unaware of the history (or perhaps lack thereof) of this mechanism. I see a lot of suggestion of using this to power a car wheel, but I'm curious of the implication of powering a walker. Much like the Strandbeest, converting rotational movement into a walking motion. Could potentially even be survival viable as this could be powered by a controller. And now I think I have a project!
