You wouldnt use a true Fusee mechanism unless you also used a spring mechanism ( like in a clock/watch ) to provide the preload.
If you use a hanging weight, ie where the torque stays constant over time ( unlike a spring ), the "fusee mechanism" would be a simple cylinder that provided a constant torque from the hanging weight.
Again the more brass bling, the better :-)
