Watch Mainspring
What is the maximum density of potential energy that can be stored in a clock source?

I wonder how much energy can be stored in the spring (spring steel) inside a mechanical watch. Ideally, I would like to find units energy / volume or energy / weight. Does anyone know of sources that report a value for this? Thank you, Greg

There are formulas for the design of the source that estimates design for different types of spring. Spring comapnies century, such as Rockwell, Lee and others often this type of design guide. You might even be lucky to find a file. Pdf. I think that energy sources are known, but I do not know.
