Well, Apparently it depends on the length of the pendulum, the longer the pendulum the more strength there is behind it. If the pendulum was the same length as the body I feel it would probably give off enough energy to run this clockwork machine. Plus, it only will have mandatory gears so that it will not be over weight. Joints will also have gears in them to move them when needed.
